    Been awhile since I have been in Crossover, I remember it being pretty solid

    A couple of Hazy IPA notes. Really liked Bentonville Brewing's Space Goose. I liked Ozark's Little Brother Hazy IPA, did think it was pricey though

    Have a little brother in fridge to try. Space Goose was surprisingly good.

    Looking forward to trying the Sabro and Barrel Fermented Farmhouse at Ozark.

    NP put out a barrel aged brown today

    Tried a few sips of Sabro Sunday at the brewery, it was alright, had higher hopes

    That Quad is excellent. As well as the Scwartzbier

    The Schwartz was good, would gone down easier if it was about 30 degrees cooler outside

    Lots going on in AR this week.

    Looks like Rebel Kettle in LR did a total rebrand, including some of their recipes.

    Couple of new beers at Ozark, a hazy pale and a mango ale.

    A barrel aged brown at NP

    T-Rex on Peaches from Fossil Cove

    Lots of new to try!

    Looks like Apple Blossom Brewery is up for sale. Honesty, it had been a while since I’ve been there. Thought I read they are closed, but the internet says otherwise

    Their food was always amazing. Hopeful someone else can set up there and create something good.

    Had the Ozark Sabro ( got a single can ). It was better canned than draft. Gave it a 4.17 overall. Also picked up some T-Rex On Peaches, good, but $ 6.00 a can? I don't know about that...

    Spending a weekend in NW Arkansas. Which taprooms are open and worth a visit? Will be staying at 21c In Bville. Thank you!

    Fluid situation. Bentonville Brewing has a nice set up with lots of outdoor seating. Ozark should be a stop if feasible. I am going to look & see if Hawk Moth is open tomorrow. Boomer Sooner!

    Not really recommending any place in Fayetteville. Fossil Cove might have some outdoor seating, but the whole set up prior to this was claustrophic ( sp) to me. Some decent eating joints still pouring beer

    Hawkmoth and New Province are good options for visiting. Was at Hawkmoth today

    Ozark’s Bourbon Barrel Quad is good. They a new Hazy IPA out called Cooler Heads, good not great.

    Hawkmoth in Rogers is releasing Citron Brut this weekend. It’s one of the best things they do. Highly recommend grabbing a bottle or pour if you can.

    Huzzah for the heads up! This will be 3 weekends in a row I've been up in Rogers for beer, I see nothing wrong with that!

    This Trash Panda I'm drinking well was born 6/9/2020. I presume was laying on shelves because the store I purchased it from just recently let customers walk in. None of the stores here seem to have any kind of real strong web presence ( maybe still not needed? )

    Interesting. I haven’t seen panda on shelves anywhere lately.

    maybe just low traffic at that store? Where was it?

    From a digital perspective, I just don’t know if that would help much.

    most places seem to move good releases quickly without it.

    but maybe some digital ads or hype for some of these smaller stores?
