Rebel Kettle Brewing

 

After visiting the nearby Lost Forty, my wife and I walked the very short distance to this brewpub. The two could not have more different vibes. This one has a cozy, local bar feel. The beer was very well made. IPA's were excellent, and the service was friendly and attentive. I would certainly visit this brewery again.

 

the space is more of a restaurant/bar vibe than brewery space. there is an outdoor area, but then again it feels more restaurant/bar than brewery, too. great diverse line-up of beers, of those we had, all were above average.

Stopped here on the way back from Ohio, after a morning at Graceland.

Was there mid-afternoon, so not busy. Greeted well, but I think I put the bartender off a bit by asking about NE IPAs. They didn’t have any, but they did have an excellent hazy IPA called Spring Cleanin’ - I highly recommend it.

Anyway, I ordered the special of the day collard green gumbo and it was first rate. Will definitely think about stopping again next time through Little Rock.

Visited on Christmas Eve. Note: They don't do flights, only half-pint pours. There's about a dozen beers on tap, and food service (which we didn't order and haven't rated). They do howler/growler fills, but no cans/crowlers. Beers were good and varied.

 

 

Cool local joint with rotating lunch specials. Bar seats 10, plenty of tables, inside and out. 14 beers on tap, the 2 I tried were very nice (they do half pints). The gumbo was excellent. Very friendly vibe.

 

Visited on a Friday night past dinner time. Sat at the bar. The place was very crowded.

V - Vibrant, active, bright, tables a bit crowded. A better vibe than Lost Forty. 4.5

Q - 4.25

Ser - Bartenders were more engaged with the customers. Knowledgeable. 4.25

Sel - A good variety. Comparable to Lost Forty. 4.25

Food - NA, but the place was crowded with people eating.

 

I liked the the lay out of this place, they also had a nice porch to hang out on.

I liked all the beers, their IPA were their best.

Service was friendly, helpful & attentive

Variety of beers was good, about 8 beers on offer

The menu looked interesting, I would very tempted by the brunch menu. Will hit the food up next time I am through..

 

 

 

Fun place right off I-30. Relaxed feel with seating outside as well. A good dozen taps of their beer. I love the diverse styles and quality. Will definitely be back.

 

There is an open and industrial feel here. Immaculately clean, with a central bar, brewery equipment at the far end of the bar, and a really nice outdoor patio. Service is very friendly, and on top of things. You won't be waiting for beers or food. They know just enough about the styles and different variations to talk shop.

There are about 11 taps. A decent selection, from a light lager to stouts with a few kettle sours thrown in. Many are gimmicky, like a chocolate chip mint stout. The single IPA was the stand out, and very good. I enjoyed the Wit, but the DIPA and sours were slightly above average.

Food is decent pub grub. The pretzel with beer cheese was good, and they have burgers and sandwiches that satisfy. Overall, a good but not exceptional little brewery. I will definitely be back to check this spot out and give it an update if need be. As is, some things are a hit, others aren't. Which is pretty standard for most breweries. I think they have potential to be better though.
