Growlers: Little Rocktoberfest Saturday, Zoo Brew, Lost Forty S'morest Queen

My favorite beer festival of the year is this weekend. Little Rocktoberfest is back at Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock Saturday from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. This is the biggest Little Rocktoberfest yet, with most Arkansas breweries represented and plenty of craft beer to choose from. But the thing that makes Little Rocktoberfest …

Growlers: Moody Brews Cuban Pull Imperiale, Flyway Wapiti Wit, Lost Forty Peach 2nd Rodeo

In the Arkansas craft beer community, there are very few beers as celebrated as Cuban Pull Imperiale by Moody Brews. It debuted in late 2016 before Josiah Moody went to Bike Rack Brewing in Bentonville and hasn’t been seen since. However, I’m excited to announce that Cuban Pull Imperiale is back, perhaps as soon as …

Banner Day at Prestonrose, Lost Forty Lil' Wheezy, Superior Camp S'moreswood

After spending a day with the Arkansas Brewers Guild members at their quarterly tap takeover, I’m pretty sure that there’s no place in the country quite like Prestonrose Farm and Brewing Co. (see header photo). For several hours, the beer community sipped and chatted and laughed on the sloped lawn outside the taproom and brewery. …
