Norman has had a few breweries open up recently that are quite good, but I think 405 might be my favorite. I’ve picked up their beer at local liquor stores before, but being able to visit their taproom was a great time. It’s obvious that they are brewing right here in Norman; it’s about as local as you can get. The beer is great and so is the atmosphere. It’s a friendly, laid back place.
Trey, one of the owners, was incredibly nice and was happy to talk with us and make suggestions based on what kind of beer we like. He even went to the back - twice - to let us sample a test batch and a yet to be released beer. He obviously cares about his craft and his customers.
If you are a beer lover, this is not a place to miss (although, it’s actually pretty easy to miss it - use your GPS).
