Breweries in Northwest Arkansas
The 20 NWA breweries we could confirm are open, with taproom hours, food, and kid and dog rules from each brewery's own site. When a brewery doesn't say, we leave it blank rather than guess. What's on this week at each taproom (trivia, live music, releases) is at the bottom, straight from our calendar. No brewery paid to be here.
Orange pins and badges are open this weekend, from each place's posted schedule.
The essentials
The Fayetteville Ale Trail
- How it works
- Pick up a free passport at any stop (or request one by mail), get a stamp with a purchase at each, and bring the finished passport to the Fayetteville Visitors Center, 21 S Block Ave, for a free prize.
- Stops
- Columbus House, Crisis, Fayetteville Beer Works, Flyway, Fossil Cove, Mad Rooster, Puritan and West Mountain (Goat Lab Red is listed as closed)
- Heads up
- The old 24-stop NWA-wide passport is gone; the current trail is Fayetteville only.

- Core Brewing & Distilling (Springdale). Its website is now the Scarlet Letter seltzer brand and posts no taproom hours; Core also runs a taproom at XNA.
- terracotta (Greenhouse Aleworks), Bentonville. Greenhouse's beer is poured here while its Rogers taproom is temporarily closed; hours aren't posted.
- Black Apple Hard Cider (Springdale). Arkansas's first cidery posts current hours at 321 E Emma Ave, but one listing shows it closed, so call before you go.
- West Mountain Brewing (Fayetteville square). An Ale Trail stop, but its website doesn't load and it posts no hours.
- Closed. Ivory Bill (Siloam Springs), Saddlebock, Boston Mountain, Tanglewood Branch, Goat Lab Red and Apple Blossom (now Flyway) are closed, whatever older lists say.
