Arkansas Brewers Guild Members celebrate Pint Day on March 30
The Arkansas Brewers Guild is a not-for-profit organization that promotes breweries across the Natural State. We raise funds for the Guild through sales of Pint Day glassware and other things, including beer! This year our Pint Day glasses celebrate the eclipse with a full-color wraparound artwork on a Shaker-style glass! These are in limited quantities, and we plant to have some for sale during Pint Day on March 30 as well as during the eclipse itself. So get them at Gravity (and other participating breweries) while you can!

Gravity Open During Eclipse
If you missed the news somehow, a large portion of Arkansas will be in the path of totality for the solar eclipse happening on Monday, April 8th. There's lots of events happening around the state to celebrate the eclipse, and we plan to be part of all that. We'll be open extra days during that event, in addition to our regular hours - open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, plus Sunday April 7 and Monday April 8, from 12 noon to 8 pm. We'll be having some celebratory special beers for the eclipse, as well as open mic night on Sunday April 7 from 5-7 pm, and local musicians Steve and Ed on Monday, April 7 from 5-7. Check back for updates!

New "Leash Law" at Gravity
After some irresponsible dog owners, some comments, and much discussion, we have decided to have a "leash law" at gravity. So beginning on Thursday, November 9, all pets at Gravity must be on a leash, indoors and outdoors, with the pet owner holding the other end of the leash. Apologies to the well-behaved dogs that we've seen over the years.
Cider is Back!
We're in cider mode again! We're trying out new base juices and new cider yeasts, so you'll be seeing more ciders on our menu board. The current batch, Newton's Apple Cider, is a straight apple cider fermented with Scottish cider yeast.
Next Time You're at Gravity...
Check out the new beer garden! If you've been out there before, you know by now that we've made a few changes - the old cedar stump and the bamboo hop trellis are both gone; the hops were moved to the fence line; the electric line has been buried. All of the patio rocks have been taken up and replaced with a smooth concrete "dance floor". The crew made piers for the new posts for the tasting room expansion, put up cedar and oak posts and beams, as well as the front wall, the roof, and the west wall. Now we just need to figure out the north wall...
Support your local breweries!
Here in Arkansas, the Arkansas Brewers Guild represents the state's breweries through legislation, events, fundraisers, and media. Because of COVID-19, our Guild couldn't hold the usual tap takeovers, Oktoberfest, festivals, etc. But with the most severe part (we hope) of COVID behind us, breweries are beginning to host festivals and tap takeovers again. We need your help in fundraising to keep Arkansas beer-friendly. Keep a lookout for these events - we'll try and get them on here and FB - and please help out the Arkansas Brewers Guild by attending these events if you can!

More Changes at Gravity
We've made a lot of changes at Gravity. We've done a little expanding inside, and built an expansion which is mostly all enclosed to ultimately make a bigger tasting room. We also made an addition to the brew house, and we got the garage door moved to the outside of the new space. We moved all the grain to the new grain room and made the old grain room the barrel-aging room. We also made a dock for truck deliveries. We recently added a bottling machine and a canning machine (that's it in the photo, though it's hard to see!) to our gadgetry, as well as a larger grain mill. Next up - a new compressor! Progress!
Gravity Beers and Whiskey Barrels
After the success of our darker beers aged in local Rock Town Distillery bourbon barrels, we've been "rolling out the barrels" with various brews. We've put several of our brown beers in barrels, including Kilt Me Softly Scottish Ale and Oat of Sight Oat of Mind Scottish Ale. We like them for their size, quality, and "localness". When the barrels are used once, we plan to age other beers in them, including our Flandemonium Flanders Red Ale, as well as some sour and fruit-based brews. Look for more of these barrel aged beers to come on tap.
Gravity Kegs Now Available
If you've got a kegerator, you can now get a keg - 5, 7.5, or 15.5 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.

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, Azacca, Comet, Sabro, Motueka, and Polaris, a German high alpha aroma hop.

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!
