Belt’s Beer Garden: ArCANsas Brews
Arkansas, like a lot of those southern states, has been a late bloomer in the craft beer community. They have just 1.3 breweries per 100,000 people which puts them 41st out of 50…but hey, at least they aren’t Mississippi; who came in dead last at just .4 breweries for every 100,000 people!!! (Fun fact: Vermont led the way with 10.8)
In 2011 there were only SIX breweries in the whole state of Arkansas…but by the end of 2016 there were 28! So, when my friend went down there, he knew better than to not bring me home some beers from a few of those new breweries popping up all over the state. And, because of that, I can finally review a beer from The Natural State on BBG.
