Whatevs... Fayetteville/NWA isn't in the 100 largest metros yet so it doesn't even get ranked in most real QOL rankings. Getting there, though. It was only included in this one because it recently passed 500k people.
fayettechill is still fayettechill

There's only 1 beer destination in the SEC...
Its Athens by a good margin.
Both Creature Comforts and Terrapin right there in town.

I agree. They're using a strange formula. 6-8 years ago, national beer magazines were giving Asheville #1 in America ratings (obviously per capita).

Just so happens that I might be making my way to Fayetteville. Your post has me intrigued. What's the music scene like over there, for both a music lover and a musician?

I think this is where the distinction is made between a town and a city.

I'd like to see just their brewery scores, without all of the other bullshite info.

The methodology says the breweries and amenities are measured per capita. Metro Nashville is 3.5 times the size of the Fayetteville/Bentonville metro.
@CCtider: Here's a good place to start to read about the Fayetteville area breweries.

And the city has this:
Fay Ale Trail
There are 10 local breweries participating in the Fayetteville Ale Trail.

Relatively diverse, as far as music WPL.
Fayetteville Roots Festival is legit.
Larger regional and national acts wind up 20 minutes north at the AMP in Rogers, or on UA campus.

Good to hear. I've played
Everything from second line jazz to bluegrass. If I go, it'll be a workathon. But I always need some occasional good music to keep me sane.
Sounds like your mountain bike trail system is legit as it gets.

No doubt. The more I've read about the area, the more intrigued I become. I moved to where I'm at now for a balance between mountains and city life. But Colorado is stupidly expensive, and the pay isn't any better than the south. That, and I've played too many damn grateful dead tunes at gigs. But even though it's a college town, Fayetteville seems like an alright place for someone in their early 30s.

10 UNTAPPED BEER CITIES POISED TO BLOW UP. We coming.
quote:
Louisville/Lexington, KY The Louisville-Lexington area has long been synonymous with its most popular export: good old-fashioned Kentucky bourbon (and horses... lots of horses). Lesser known is the region's recent contribution to the world of craft beer, with a local scene on the cusp of explosion. More than a dozen Kentucky-based craft breweries have opened their doors in the last five years alone, joining the ranks of established brewers like Cumberland and Lexington, makers of the celebrated Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale.
Louisville's Against the Grain Brewery & Smokehouse, established in 2011, is recognized coast to coast for its enormous program of style-defying, experimental brews and exceptionally bizarre packaging. Take ATG’s delicious Kentucky Ryed Chiquen, an amber ale aged in rye whiskey barrels -- each 750ml bottle of the stuff is topped by a wax seal, covered in (hopefully) fake chicken feathers. Across town, Louisville's Great Flood Brewing Company represents the proverbial yin to Against the Grain's yang. The two-year-old microbrewery focuses on pared-down, well-executed classics like easy-drinking amber ales, rich porters, and hop-forward IPAs.
Over in artsy, collegiate Lexington, West Sixth Brewing has been schooling Kentuckians in the art of quality IPA production since 2012. Packed with four different varieties of hops -- Cascade, Columbus, Centennial, and Citra -- West Sixth’s flagship IPA is a thing of piney, citrusy beauty, balanced by a sturdy backbone of five different malts. Another relative newcomer, Country Boy Brewing has been kicking it down the road from West Sixth since 2012. The Boy's Ghost Gose is a fantastic example of the traditional German style -- tart, extremely refreshing, and finished with a drying dose of sea salt and coriander. And fresh out the gate in 2014, Ethereal Brewing’s got a lineup of handcrafted brews that run the gamut from modern American styles like wild ales and imperial IPAs to more obscure European barleywines and farmhouse ales that are infinitely (ugh) sluggable.
