Events and Specials
This page lets you know what's happening at Gravity BrewWorks - specials, events, advisories, alerts, updates - and things related to beer and brewing. Check back often!
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, and experimental 07270. Our next one is brewed with Denali hops, which are described as having pineapple, pine and citrus aromas and a high oil content. When we smelled it we got a strong spicy note and a definite bitterness. This one is being tapped this week!

Arkansas Brewers Guild Tap Takeover at New Province Brewing
On Sunday, May 7th, New Province Brewing in Rogers hosted the spring tap takeover. Derek and crew were generous enough to let us go all day with Guild beers. You can see beertender Sarah at left, pouring Gravity's Nightfall India Black Ale. There were several tasty brews served up, but one of our favorites wasn't on tap - New Province's imperial wheat stout - yum!

We changed our beer line-up for April Fool's...
...and had a lot of fun with our patrons, especially our new ones! We also had a visit from a couple friends, Carl and John - great to see you guys!
Brewing on the Bigger System
February 14 was the day we initiated the first brew on Gravity's bigger brew setup! In honor of the day, we brewed Hoppy Together India Red Ale. In the left photo Bill and Danielle mash in; in the right photo Danielle adds hops to the brew. We also put the Hoppy Together into the 2 barrel fermenter. We've brewed several batches on the new system and still have a few things to iron out, but we love it! Now that we can make bigger batches, your favorites have been staying on tap longer. Our brews may not change every week, since we have more beer...a lovely thing to have! |

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.
Mostly Organic Amber is now Au NaturAle AmberTM
Our Mostly Organic Amber was called that because one of its malts was not organic. We've gotten some organic malt so our Amber is now called Au NaturAle Amber. It's still smooth, still an excellent amber, and all organic. Look for this one on tap this week!

Gravity is now 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. 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.
