Sierra Nevada Resilience Beer for Camp Fire Relief
The folks out at Sierra Nevada put out a call to brew a Sierra Nevada recipe and donate the proceeds to the Camp Fire relief fund. The folks at Lost 40 offered to brew the beer on their system for Arkansas Brewers Guild members. Gravity has a couple of kegs of Resilience IPA and should have them on tap soon.

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 decided to get more local with the barrels. Recently Billy got some homegrown kegs from Rock Town Distillery, and we put our Kilt Me Softly Scottish Ale into one of the 15 barrel size. We tapped it last week, and boy, is it nice! On Dec. 11 we put our Blacker Shade of Ale into both a small Rock Town and a Heaven Hill barrel, and we're looking forward to the day we tap these!
Grapefruit Juicyfruit IPA at Gravity
We've had some success with our other grapefruit beers, so maybe it was inevitable that we do a grapefruit IPA. Many of our customers comment on the grapefruit
and/or citrus nose of our beers and we threw around the idea of an all-grapefruit IPA. We came up with a west-coast blend of base malts, then added a lot of grapefruit. It really has a great aroma, due to citrusy hops and much real fruit, puree, and peel.
Tap Takeover in Ft.Smith
On Saturday, Nov. 10, Gravity BrewWorks was in attendance at our first Arkansas Brewers Guild Tap Takeover at Ft. Smith Brewing Company. It had been a long time since we paid a visit to that city. There was a Veterans' Parade before the takeover - thanks to all the veterans - and some came back in to sample some of the brews. We had a really good crowd, and some very busy servers. You can see some of the many taps at the brewery in the photo. Thanks to Quentin and al the staff at FSBC!
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.
