Just got around to registering to reply to your post in the 2023 thread about it only being for your amusement to say that my wife is from Fayetteville, and I'm very appreciative for the thread every time we're visiting from Chicago. I was actually in Fayetteville with my brother in January (but not my wife!); we hit Crisis, which is one of my favorite breweries, and West Mountain Brewing, which I hadn't been to in ages. Solid nostalgic pizza and beer. We also stopped at Stone's Throw in Little Rock, which I love, but I know one of the founders, so I'm probably not impartial. Also made a brief stop at Fayetteville Beer Works in December. Only had one beer, which was pretty good, but it's a cool spot.
Coming through NWA next week. Will be through Bentonville/Fayetteville, and then south. I will check out the breweries mentioned above! Just wondering if there were any other great places for to go beer-interested in anything but sours! Will be grabbing some BKS in Kansas City on my way-great stuff!
Hadn’t logged in for quite a while. Kinda dead in here, unfortunately. I don’t get out or drink much anymore, so I don’t have much to add.
Hawk Moth has new digs. The are in Bentonville now ( Southeast 5th Street ) will do a recon at some point.
Was going to check them out; but Google Maps doesn't show any opening hours. Their Facebook page isn't really helpful either
I will just say that Social Project is releasing some great IPAs on a steady basis. Ozark & Lost Forty, not really. Boring!
Lot's of Oktoberfest releases in-state, none of which really excite me. Goat Lab Brewing out of Lowell now have some packaged beers off site. Saw some at Liquor World in Fayetteville.
Social Project still killing it. They are pretty much lapping all the other in state brewers when it comes to quality & numbers of new beers released in packaged format IMHO
Sad news, Ivory Billed Brewing in Siloam Springs is closing at the end of the year. Their beers were one offs in the fact most were low gluten/ABV offerings. Rumor is the building they're in is getting sold off.
I'll be going through Little Rock again next week as I travel north to see family for Christmas. Saw two new to me breweries... Southern Tail Brewing, which looks to have a taproom and full kitchen. It is in the same area as Lost Forty. https://www.southerntailbrewing.com/ Moody Brews, which is just a little south of all that. https://moodybrews.co/ Don't know anything about either, has anybody been?
