Bentonville Brewing Co.

After a visit to Crystal Bridges Museum, Bentonville Brewing is a no-brainer, barely a mile down the road from the museum. We got there right before opening time but the lady in charge was nice enough to let us in. We had the entire taproom to ourselves. The patio is nice if the weather is nice, and inside they have long communal tables, a small bar and a bunch of high-top tables. Check out the bathroom and the A-B barrel pisser there!

8 taps overall, 5 of them “core” beers and 3 “limited”. I was a big fan of the Homewrecker IPA and the Roundabout Chocolate Milk Stout. I also tried an amber ale, porter, saison, pale ale... good variety of styles overall.

You can get food from Fresh Fish Marketplace. Really beautiful taproom, neat décor, vintage photos, rustic chic, great music. Super nice service. Easily my favorite beer stop in all of NW Arkansas.

Large facility on the outskirts of town. Lots of seating in the interior and on the patio. Good beers are the norm here. Decent variety in the selection department. Some German styles, IPAs, stouts and other random ones. Service was friendly. Prices are not crazy like most breweries.

 

Massive,sprawling facility on the west side of town. Taproom has a small straight bar opposite the entrance to the left that is mostly service, but seats 8. Lots of tables inside and on the lawn out back... there is even a separate dog park. 20 beers on tap, nice variety. 3 food trucks outside, and a kitchen within the building. (All separate businesses and offering a variety of differing cuisines.) Impressive layout. Professional, friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit.

 

Very large space. Also has a large outdoor space and a small food service inside. Cool place
