Arkansas (2021)

Try the doppelbock from Getahold. It is on tap at Sparky's in Eureka Springs. Benton County be set for some explosive growth with Walmart building a 350 acre campus, the imminent completion of the I-49/Bella Vista bypass and more airport expansion. However, I don't see the population tripling.

 

I still feel like that bypass is like going to Mars; not sure if this will happen in my lifetime..

 

When they link up with Missouri, look out. Gravette has annexed all the way east of Hiwasse so they will have those two interchanges. It will grow, it will change the area. Benton County won't triple in population. It is sad because I grew up in that area.

 

Nah this guys was saying NWA as a whole, but I realize the bigger the scale the larger growth is required, but Jesus the amount of Texas & Cali tags I'm seeing lately...

 

No thanks

 

Now many years ago I heard someone (I forget who) project a population of 2.1million in a corridor between Joplin Mo. and Fort Smith Ark.

I was in Fayetteville today and it doesn't look like it is growing at all. Outside of the University that is.

 

Suburbs blowing up

 

Just to be a thread floater, I will tell you I really like Southern Hemi from Ozark, a ton of flavor derived from Kiwi hops in a 4.0% ABV lager. BDCS release info pending

 

RIP Rebel Kettle/East Sixth.

Can't believe it's almost BDCS time again. I feel like that just released.

 

When I was about 5 we were coming back from Austin and we stopped at a rock shop and
curb market in Hot Springs. It was well over 100F God bless my Dad for buying me a big brown symmetric apatite crystal that is right here before me. I thought he had also bought a Mountain Dew, in the green bottle, but it was a fine mountain spring water that an early 60s young fellow spat out. He also tricked dogs with meat hot off of the grill. Now I wish I had one of these bottled waters at least for the memory. I have no illusions about the genesis of my sense of humor, such as it is.

 

No doubt Farmington, Prairie Grove, Elkins and Greenland have grown a lot. A lot of growth out toward Wedington.

 

Ozark BDCS online "sale" happening now. Supposedly it will not be distributed outside the brewery.

 

Those are both pretty pricey options. Finally looked at the price tag. Not buying either at those prices per ounce. They're good not great

 

Neither were worth the price tag

 

Ordered my case of BDCS. Now I just need to figure out when I'm getting up there to get it.

 

On a very basic level from what I can see. Nothing to get excited about

 

What’s your favorite new arkansas beer

 

I haven't had many recently, but Dirt Surfer from Lost Forty is pretty good.

 

Ozark has out out some good not great Hazy IPAs, but their Semi Hemi Lager with New Zealand hops was good & hope it becomes a regular as much as feasible based on hop availability
