— It started as a slow trickle, two or three people wandering into the taproom at Roughtail Brewing Co. every 30 minutes or so.

Roughtail co-founder Blaine Stansel admitted he was a little underwhelmed with the turnout the first couple hours Sunday, as the brewery opened its doors for the first public sales of its new 3.2 percent beer.

By the close of business at 8 p.m, however, several dozen customers had made their way to the Midwest City brewery, most buying a pint of Roughtail’s Jaragua Pale Ale or opting to have a larger glass bottle, or growler, filled with the hoppy, low-point beer to take home.

“Pretty good,” Stansel said of the turnout. “It was mainly the hardcore craft beer lovers, but we went through eight kegs of beer.”
