    Found 3 East Sixth Brewing's bigger beers up in Springdale the other day. They are great additions

    Spending next week, Sat-Fri, between Mena & Hot Springs. Heading up from Houston and was thinking about rolling through Shreveport to hit Great Raft. Is there anything else on the way from Houston, or in the SW AR area I should check out? Thanks!

    also headed up from houston will be there for a couple of days around NYE. Wanting to know which breweries currently open with outdoor seating options. Is there a list of top breweries in NW Arkansas for reference? Any food options with good tap list (bonus is vegeterian options for my wife).

    @kevinboyer & @Sabzi , a pretty decent bottleshop is Cuban Liquor on 928 Pierremont Rd, Shreveport, LA 71106. You can get some stuff there that doesn't make it into Texas. Grabbed some Anchorage bottles last time I was up there, also can check for some of the Great Raft releases that they may not have. I think they just released their latest BA Old Mad Joy aged on heavily-peated scotch barrels. Have fun at Great Raft.

    @russpowell can give you the rundown on NW. If you get to LR, East Sixth just closed their taproom but Lost Forty should still be open. Colonial and Legacy are probably the two best bottle shops in LR.

    Lost Forty released this years Night Night a couple of weeks ago. I'm liking it better that last years.

    Ozark, Hawkmoth & Bentonville Brewing are all worth a visit. All have decent room to spread out if social distancing is a worry. Eating joints, it's down to what kind of food you like. BLU is the only seafood place I would recommend, but I hear they have opened a Sushi Place in Downtown Bentonville. Oh yeah, Tusk & Trotter is good too. The have an offshoot German/America eatery at Bentonville Brewery that is fun.

    Hey everyone!

    I am late to the party on this one... but East 6th went under, correct? Does anyone know where I could find some of their stuff in Fayetteville? Sorry if this has already been covered. Thanks!

    I'll probably be in Little Rock again at the end of next week. Anything open for dine in/patio seating whatever? For just a quick bite and beer. I usually stop at Rock Town Distillery for a cocktail, and grab a bottle of Gin for my Mom, then get something to eat at Stones Throw or Lost Forty. Are those places just doing to go now? Thanks all.

    This E6 closing news is weak!!

    Is our market saturated by such a small number of breweries? It’s not just breweries closing either, you guys know several of out of state players come here and leave distribution within a year or two.


    Depressing/lame.

    If actually in Fayetteville, I prefer Crisis Brewing or Columbus House. I like the options in Bentonville & Rogers beer quality wise. None of out home towners thrill me to be honest. Fossil Cove was fun to visit pre-covid, not been there since then. Not over the moon about their beer, I think it is the house yeast strain
