Festival Season Begins
Beer festivals are in swing! The first fundraiser for the Arkansas Brewers Guild will be held on Saturday, June 17 at Goat Lab Brewing in Lowell, AR. This event is a tap takeover, meaning the good folks at Goat Lab will turn over their taps to various Arkansas breweries. These are always fun events, and the proceeds are donated to the Arkansas Brewers Guild. Even better, it's just before Father's Day, so bring your dad out for a beer!
One of our favorite events, Central Arkansas Fermenters' Little Rocktoberfest, is planned for Saturday, September 23. This is an event for homebrewers and pro brewers alike, and proceeds go to a deserving charity. Gravity holds a judging from CAF entrants, brews the winning beer, and showcases it at this event. It's always fun to see what our homebrewer friends have been working on!
Another beer festival on our calendar is ARKtoberfest, held on Saturday, Sept. 30 and hosted by Rapp's Barren in Mtn. Home. Last year was the inaugural event, and it was well attended, with the theme being Oktoberfest and Rapp's anniversary.
Mark these on your calendars and look out for more beerfests and tap takeovers!

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 put up a pavilion using cedar posts made from trees on the brewery property. Eventually it will be enclosed to make the tasting room bigger. 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. Progress!
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. Bill's been getting some homegrown barrels from Rock Town Distillery, and we've put our Kilt Me Softly Scottish Ale, Blacker 'n Ale Stout, Humble Beginnings Porter, Blacker Shade of Ale Stout, Abbey Normal Belgian Stout and Oat of Sight Oat of Mind Scottish Ale into these barrels. We like them for their size, quality, and "localness". 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 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; there'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!
