I am not a drinker of beer in general for various reasons, so I don't know much about the craft brews here locally. But I know that NWA and Fayetteville has gone crazy for local brews the past 5-6 years. They are everywhere.

What's your favorite?

I just found this article about a new little documentary focusing on the local brewing scene.

I'm a big fan of Fossil Cove. Grab yourself a couple of Paleo Ales and then stumble on over to Bottom's Up* and you are guaranteed a memorable night.

Ozark Beer Company in Rogers is my favorite. Their IPA, Stout, and Belgian are excellent. The IPA is my go to and can hold its own against some of the more well known brews from Avery, Stone, etc.

As for the Fayetteville breweries, I like Fossil Cove. The Paleo Pale and the Brown are both very good as well.

There's a good opportunity to sample a bunch of the craft brews this weekend along with some crawfish. Its called Ales and Tails at the Fayetteville town center this Saturday.Tickets are online only. Here is the online description:

"On March 29, 2014 from 5-9 PM, the first annual Ales & Tails Festival will be held at the Town Center in Fayetteville. Ales & Tails Festival celebrates local and regional craft breweries and Louisiana crawfish. It is coordinated by the owners of local restaurants Jammin Java and Café Rue Orleans.

“Mud Bug Garden” Tickets are $25 each. Ticket holders will receive a wristband to claim a pound of boiled crawfish, beer samples, and a souvenir pilsner glass. Additional boiled crawfish may be purchased for $10 a pound.

“VIP” tickets are $45 each. Ticket holders will gain access to the main hall where they can sample numerous crawfish dishes prepared by local restaurants, including: Café Rue Orleans, Hammontree’s, Tyler’s House Catering, Early Bird Catering, Apple Blossom Brewing Company, Meiji, Z’s Brick Oven Pizza and Jammin Java. VIP ticket holders will also receive a wristband for access to the Mud Bug Garden to claim a pound of boiled crawfish, beer samples, and a souvenir pilsner glass.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the local ALS Association Northwest Arkansas Chapter. ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a fatal, neurological disease with no cure. This is a meaningful and worthwhile cause to the event creators as each have friends whose lives are affected by ALS."

Hey, another craft brewery coming to Fayetteville, just north of campus.

We are beertown.

As if the area isn’t already poised as a contender for a “best beer cities” list, it looks like another craft brewery is in the works in Fayetteville.

A permit application was submitted to city planners for a microbrewery called Columbus House Brewery at 701 W. North St. just west of the railroad crossing.

Core news...

quote:

Core Brewing & Distilling Co. has been on fire since it opened in 2012. In the last 12 months alone it has seen 900 percent growth, which is enough to make the founder’s head spin.


Catching Up with Core

New tap room in Rogers. Are these guys and Core Architects the same family?

dangit, how'd we let this thread get buried 20+ pages down...


anyhow, Arkansas has the 6th largest increase in craft breweries from 2011-2014. I'd expect that number to be higher if 2015 was included. There's been a bunch open this year and more are coming.
