6 Great Spots for Local and Craft Beer Near Springdale, AR

1. Core Brewing & Distilling Co. 

Core Brewing has grown rapidly over the past decade and now has a large 40-barrel brewhouse and taproom. Our favorite thing about Core is the wide variety of beer on tap, offering stouts, lagers, IPAs, pale ales, brown ales, red ales, and doppelbocks. They also offer 5 different types of seltzers on tap and premium craft cocktails so you are sure to find something to please everyone.

2. Apple Blossom Brewing Company

Not just a taproom, Apple Blossom offers a full restaurant and bar menu so you can pair your brews with some delicious grub. Along with the usual IPAs and blonde ales, they also offer Kolsch, hefeweizen, and porter draft options. If you find it hard to choose, try their flight of 4 beer samples for only $7.

3. Saddlebock Brewery & Restaurant

Saddlebock is a great choice if you are looking to have a nice dinner while also imbibing homemade beer. They use only the best ingredients in their fermentation process and brew in small batches to make sure their beer is high-quality and full of flavor.

With 18 beers on tap, you can try both classic and unusual options. For the adventurous tasters, try the ‘Lost Bridge’ draft made with a smoked grain from Germany that gives the beer notes of meat straight out of the smoker.

4. Bike Rack Brewing Co.

This brewery has a great outdoor space where they host live music and food truck events. They also offer $10 growler refills all day long on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. The brewery has local cider, hard seltzer, and craft root beer on tap as well as a large selection of beer.

Bike Rack is a great place to spend a summer evening while drinking great drafts and enjoying some local bands.

5. Fossil Cove Brewing Company

This brewery gets its name from the fossil coves located on the shore of Beaver Lake, the water source for their brewing process. Though it’s hard to choose a favorite, we really love the ‘Coffee IPA’, brewed with Ethiopian coffee beans and chocolate notes.

Their ‘Orange Cream Ale’ is also incredibly delicious with notes of vanilla bean, orange zest, and fruity flavors.

6. Columbus House Brewery

This brewery hosts various events for the local community and even has its own Columbus House Running Club. They offer up many refreshing drafts in a welcoming environment where everyone feels like friends and family.

If you stop by near Christmas time, try their ‘Mount Crumpit’, a mint stout boiled with real candy canes for that homey holiday flavor. For the more traditionalists, they offer a light golden ale, nut brown ale, or hoppy IPA as well.

We hope our list of local breweries can make your trip to Springdale a memorable one.
