Arkansas Breweries on Untappd Updated

I know, it's been awhile... but pull up a seat and pop open a local brew, folks, it's time to check out some Untappd numbers for Arkansas breweries all here in one handy location! And please, no wagering.

Newbies! I add Damgoode Brews and Foster's Pints & Plates to the watchlist this month. More soon!

Brewery - Total Checkins (monthly total)

Diamond Bear - 15,069 (489)
Core Brewery - 13,077 (817)
Fossil Cove - 5,970 (252)
Ozark Brew Co. - 5,616 (1,151)
Saddlebock - 5,570 (231)
Apple Blossom - 4,706 (838)
Lost Forty Brewing - 3,144 (1,050)
Stone's Throw Brewing - 2,979 (209)

Top 5 Monthly Check-Ins

5. Diamond Bear (489)
4. Core Brewing (817)
3. Apple Blossom (838)
2. Lost Forty (1,050)
1. Ozark Beer Co (1,151)

Thoughts... so Ozark and Lost Forty are battling it out in the monthly sales category and flying up the overall charts.

Three of the top five monthly leaders are in northwest Arkansas, two in central.

Next to open taproom/breweries in the state will probably be Flyway Brewing and Rebel Kettle, hopefully by the end of summer.

Summit founder Mark Stutrud on The Beer Show

Good video featuring the founder of one of my favorite breweries available in Arkansas, Summit Brewing Company

"Recently, our friends at Elevated Beer Wine & Spirits invited Summit founder Mark Stutrud to be a guest on The Beer Show on 1500 ESPN Twin Cities radio. Mark discusses the early days of craft brewing (or microbrewing) in the Upper Midwest, the joys and challenges of craft brewers in 2015, and about new beers like Hop Silo Double IPA and Hopvale Organic Ale."
