Coco Chan-Ale on tap soon!
It's a new year, which means it's time for us to brew our fabulous Coco Chan-Ale Chocolate Brown Ale! This is a specialty beer that we make in time for February 14, Valentine's Day. It's brewed with lots of real chocolate and malts for a smooth rich flavor. We plan to have it on tap at Gravity on Thursday, February 13, as well as bringing it to Little Rock on Friday, February 14 during the Stone's Throw Stifft Station tap takeover.
Two Tap Takeovers Scheduled for Little Rock
Tap takeovers are a neat way to sample brews from different breweries without having to travel to each one. Gravity BrewWorks is scheduled to do two tap takeovers in Little Rock early this year. Mark these dates on your calendars and come on out to sample some brews from Gravity!
Mockingbird Beer and Tacos will feature Gravity beers on Thursday, January 16 from 5 to 9 pm. We'll bring five different beers - Au NaturAle Amber, BelHop Belgian IPA, bourbon barrel-aged Humble Beginnings Porter, May The Schwarzbier With You, and Saison Brune. These last two are brand-new brews for Gravity, as well as Little Rock.
Stone's Throw Stifft Station will feature Gravity brews on Friday, February 14 - yes, Valentine's Day. We plan on bringing a couple more new-to-LR beers - more info on the beers to come later.
Gravity Beers and Whiskey Barrels
After the success of our Abbey Normal Belgian Stout and our Humble Beginnings Porter aged in Heaven Hill and Jim Beam barrels, we got more local with the barrels. Recently Billy got some homegrown kegs from Rock Town Distillery, and we put our Kilt Me Softly Scottish Ale, Blacker 'n Ale, and Blacker Shade of Ale into some of those barrels. We tapped the last of the bourbon barrel Blacker'n Ale for our anniversary this year. On November 4 of this year, we put our Abbey Normal Belgian Stout into two Rocktown 15 gallon barrels, as well as some of our Oat of Sight Oat of Mind Scottish Ale into two 25 gallon barrels. It will be a few months before these will be ready!
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!
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, Ekuanot, and Azacca.

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.
