Ozark Beer Co.

Love the old flour mill building as a venue. There is a good deal of patio seating that isn't pictured in the image here. The beers that I've had from Ozark are usually pretty solid. The Onyx Coffee Stout is phenomenal and they had a barleywine at the time was pretty fantastic, too. The server was very friendly and offered samples of to every customer that came in.

 

Yep, Arkansauce. I know it to be so ‘cause I was there when we drove in from points north this morning. Not even remotely along that straight line that runs from Kansas City to St. Louis, but whatevs; the ‘detour for pours tour’ is our wheelhouse. Rogers, pre-Eureka and someone’s talking about some catfish joint for lunch, I don’t know what that’s about. And many days left on the road with the unusual suspects…

Housed in a large standalone former flour miller building on the corner, up and in and to the rear, a straight concrete topped bar with a rusted panel base & a railroad tie foot bar. Seating for 8 on wood seated metal chairs. Barback is a pair of kegerators each holding a 6 tap logo handled towers atop + a cylinder single on one of them, and a stand up glassware & growl rack in between. Mugs and more glassware crated on one end, and snacks, being chips, on the other end. Hanging planks and doors with rusty iron slats fronting listing tap selections above (beer, style, descriptors when applicable, ABV, IBU, serving size, ‘last keg’ tag when it comes to that, and pricing for a pour or growl).

Mad worn wood plank floors & timber rafters with fluro lighting & mounted overhead baby lighting. White painted walls with bricked up patches to nowhere anymore, and phat wood pillars. Shelves with growls & pics, a ‘Beer it forward’ board on the far wall (Oh, nobody bought a beer for you? That’s sad), neon signage & logo prints, a merch zone in the corner, and a can cooler behind me in the space where the elevator should be/once was with a Brick Buster Bicycle mounted over it. 5 bright yellow picnic tables for the sitting at and a few barrel tables riddled about.

13 tap, a mix of regulars (Lager, German Lager, 5%; American Pale Ale, 4.3%; IPA, 6.5%; Cream Stout, 5.3%; Onyx Coffee Stout, 5.3%), and small batch (Uncle Trav’s Premium Haze, IPA, 6%; Ales for ALS, IPA, 7.5%; Automator, BA Golden Ale with Brett & Strawberry, 6%: Oktoberfest, 5.2%; 40 Miles from Denver, Colorado Style IPA, 6.3%; All Day Snuggles, Triple IPA, 9.9%; Piccolo, DH Italian Lager, 4.1%; Lost Cause, Belgian Style Farmhouse, 4.6%), + a single can (Hardwater Strawberry Lime, 5%).

IPA, dank, and just absolutely solid; Lager, clean, crisp, easy, quaffable; 40 Miles from Colorado, Colorado Style IPA, west coast bitter & dank of somewhere more so than east coast juicy and that’s all right with me; Automator, low ABV Brett & Strawberry Sour thing, bretty Betty & strawberry seedy, reminds me of the Tired Hands ‘L’ in a very good way; Oktoberfest, good malt, toasty; Lost Cause, Belgian Style Farmhouse, very pleasantly Saisony, lightly spicy, nice beer; Piccolo, DH Italian Lager, light crisp, floral, this was very good; Cream Stout, dark chocolate, roasted grain, good body, not too shabby. I got through a decent spread and I’m feeling like the hoppys may be the strongest suit here although really, everything I had was on point.

Things served in a pint are mostly $4. Well fuck, it’s really (piggy)bank breaking bullshit if you ask me. Some of the small batch stuff runs a bit more but it’s still on the inexpensive side all around.

On walkabout, with beer in hand, I. Up the stairs, 8 picnics and a pair of barrel tables. Ping Pong table action, verrrrrrry cool local art, panel windows and a ceiling skylight. Down and out(side), 2 dozen tables, picnic & barrel, front & side. And sometime Cornhole just happens.

Local guy we’re talking to has his wits about him; beerwise & vaccinesotherwise. Never actually saw the brewery here, but I think it’s back behind that door there (me, pointing). Cool house, chill crowd this Thursday afternoon. Good beers, and a real range. I could do some time here.

Nice brewery in a great location. Good selection of beer and friendly staff. Lots of great food within walking distance and a good truck outside. Fun atmosphere. Inside and outside seating. Very enjoyable.

 

Great atmosphere for an Independent Craft Brewery tap room. Beers are top shelf and service has always been friendly and engaging. Staff is always willing to talk beer and help with education for us novices. Ozark has a great "year round" selection and the rotating selection is always inventive. They know their craft at OBC. Customers are bound to find a brew they like when visiting. Try the Coffee Stout when visiting. They partner with Onyx Coffee around the corner to brew a stout that is the best I have ever tried. It is limited distribution and worth the trip to the OBC Tap Room. Food truck parked outside brings the great flavor of Louisiana to NW Arkansas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Visited the brewery for the 2016 BDCS release. Amazing place ran by amazing people. Release went smooth as can be, beer was incredible, and it was just a really cool place to hang out. Extremely affordable for everything on tap, including the more rare stuff like Onyx BDCS. Loved the regular lineup as well- cream stout, APA, IPA, Belgian, etc. Terrific experience and looking forward to visiting again.

 

Ozark is by far one of the best, if not the, best brewery in Arkansas. Their selection is always consistent. Their IPA is probably my favorite beer they have year round, right along with the seasonal BDCS. Cant wait to see what else they put out this year.

Ozark brews the best beer in Northwest Arkansas hands down, and perhaps in the entire state. Andy and his wife built the place from the ground up a few years ago and they have quickly grown in popularity and distribution. Ozark is kind of the place to be in Rogers on Sunday, as they open the tasting room (which is quite large and in the middle of the brewery) and have live music, along with food trucks, games, etc. The staff are all quite friendly and knowledgeable when it comes to their beer. They usually don't have the largest selection of beer, maybe six or seven on tap, but everything is good to excellent. Their Cream Stout and APA are staples of the area and have cult followings up here. Very much recommended!

The knowledge and passion for brewing reverberates throughout the place. it's warm and intimate for a brewery with an industrial setting. The beer is the best being produced in the state. No food except occasional food trucks because it's all about the beer.

 

 

 

Great, friendly group of guys. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Not a great selection of beer in stock for carryout, but it was mid-summer and all the good stuff was being barrel aged. Love their beers.

 

 

Ozark is the best brewery in the state, period. I know some will complain that they don't have a large stable of core beers, but I'd rather them have a few tremendous beers done right, instead of 10(+) done mediocrely/poorly. Their regular line-up is amazing and the special releases are just that; special. BDCS is one of the best beers brewed in the United States, hands down. I appreciate that they haven't sacrificed quality over quantity.

Everyone at Ozark is very friendly and inviting. Each time I visit I'm met with outstanding people and outstanding beer. I only wish I lived closer.
