We've found the perfect tour to take for any craft beer lover. Sip in style during the Arkansas Brews Cruise and learn about the brewing process.
This will be your chariot for an afternoon of brewery education.
Arkansas Brews Cruise is a one-of-a-kind brewery tour in North Little Rock. Founded in 2016, this is a fantastic new tour to experience in the state.
Tours are about 3-4 hours long and are split into three parts.
You'll first learn about the brewing process. The next stop will be a style session followed by food and beer pairings.
The three breweries toured will be different depending on availability, so each tour will be slightly different but always amazing.
The Brews Cruise can tour the Rebel Kettle Brewing, Lost 40 Brewing, Stone's Throw Brewing, Flyway Brewing Company, Core Brewing Co., Diamond Bear Brewing Co., Blue Canoe Brewing Co., Damgoode Pies and Taproom, or Vino's Brew Pub.
The first stop will be the brewing process.
You'll get to learn about the entire process, from malting, to the hop boil, to fermentation. See how the brewery conditions the beer and packages their final product. Of course you'll get to have samples all along the way.
The next stop is the style session.
Learn what to look for in tasting samples as well as the differences between beer types like ales and lagers. Get the chance to try new styles and find a new favorite. You'll also get to see how this brewery's process compares to the first stop.
The tour wraps up with dinner and more beer.
Taste different food and beer pairings throughout dinner. You'll get to tour this brewery's process too.
This new experience will give you the chance to learn about the whole brewing process and to maybe find a new favorite brew.
Throughout the tour you'll have sampled about ten 4 oz. samples and have tasting cards on each to keep track of what you enjoyed.
