Bowers Cook Shop Food Truck now at Gravity!
Last week Rex and Michelle Bowers and Toby Tatum set up their food truck at Gravity for a trial run before the tap takeover. They were well received by our patrons, who were just as happy to have them as we were. They offer lots of food items, from small nibbles to full plates. We're hoping this will turn into a regular event. The basic menu includes nachos, fries, chicken quesadillas, and bam balls (in the photo at left...thanks to Leigh). The special changes weekly, so come on out and sample some of what they have to offer this week!

ABG Tap Takeover at Bike Rack in Bentonville
Arkansas Brewers Guild Tap Takeover at Gravity
Gravity BrewWorks will be the host for the summer Arkansas Brewers Guild Tap Takeover on July 21. We hope to have a lot of Arkansas breweries represented. We've expanded the beer garden but have a few other things on the "honey do" list before the event. We'll also have Rex and Michelle Bowers' food truck for the event. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to date.
Abbey Normal Stout and Whiskey Barrels
We brewed a 2 barrel batch of our Blacker'N Ale Stout and aged it in our recently acquired Jim Beam whiskey barrels. You can see Billy working out the bung from the barrel, which was a tough enough job. Billy thought we'd check it in a month. We sampled it (of course!), chilled and carbonated it, and sold it. Next up, Abbey Normal stout in Heaven Hill and Jim Beam barrels. Billy has it in the fermenter to chill and carbonate, and should be on tap soon.
New Gravity growlers and coozies We received our growler coozies (at right) back in March which keeps a glass growler cool. This week we got our double walled stainless steel logoed growlers (at left), which will hold cold Gravity brew or a hot beverage, your choice. Stop in today and get some merch! |

Gravity 1/6 Barrel Kegs Now Available
If you've got a kegerator, you can now get a 1/6 barrel keg - 5 gallons - of Gravity beer. Since we put in the bigger system, we can supply those much requested kegs. Of course it's limited to the beers we have available. Customers will need to supply their own tapping equipment. Any questions, give us a call at 870-448-2077, or ask about it the next time you're at Gravity.

Twelve Taps and Stopping
We got all our taps through the wall late last year, so now there is space for twelve Gravity beers - yippee!! This means we'll have space for guest taps when we want them, and we still intend to have guest beers - usually in a style that we don't currently make or have in kegs.
In the photo, you can see how the beer lineup looks on the menu board as well as all of our taps. We offer flights of four 4-oz. beers now that we have a bigger selection. So next time you come in, check out the beer menu. Yes, we know it was easier back when we had four Gravity brews on tap. Your choice just got a lot harder!
Hop Drop Series
The Hop Drop brews are a planned series of single-hopped beers. Each beer is an IPA, brewed with less caramel in the west coast style. We use only a single hop or proprietary hop blend in all the hop additions. This really allows you to experience all the bittering, flavor, and aromatic qualities of that particular hop. When you visit the tasting room, try the beer and give us your feedback! The most popular ones will be repeated.
So far we've tried Zythos, then Falconers Flight, both hop blends. Next came Ahtanum, then 5256, an experimental hop. Then we used 7 C's blend, Calypso, Sorachi Ace, Bravo, Mosaic, Simcoe, El Dorado, Summit, Citra, experimental 07270, Denali, and Ekuanot. On tap right now is our current one, Hop Drop Azacca, which has a lovely aroma of citrus and tropical fruit. It's named after the Haitian god of agriculture.

Gravity is on Facebook
At long last, we have a Facebook page...to all those folks that asked for it. Of course, we kept it simple - look us up at http://www.facebook.com/gravitybrewworks. Note that our name has no spaces; here's another site but it's not our page. So be sure you're on the right page!
Gravity is on Untappd!
We've got a page on Untappd, the social beer site. You can go online and tell everyone about our beers...or anyone else's, for that matter. Look us up at untappd.com, and say something good about us!

Guest Beers
We decided early on to get a few "guest beers" - brews that we don't make ourselves and that many people may not have tried. We had been offering these every week (pretty much); like most things at Gravity, the offerings changed. We've tried beers from Green Flash, Moylan's, and Left Coast, all from California; Prairie, from Oklahoma; Carson Brewing, from Indiana; Horny Goat from Wisconsin; Mother's from Missouri; Moody Brews, Stone's Throw Brewing, and Lost Forty from here in the state, Victory from Pennsylvania, Bell's from Michigan, and Dogfish Head from Delaware. Now that we have more of our own beers on tap, we still plan on having guest beers, but in addition to our beers, not in place of them.
