Video: Prestonrose Farm And Brewing Co.

I've had the pleasure of having some beer from the great folks at Prestonrose Farm and Brewing Co. up in Paris, AR and I can't recommend them enough. The wife and were already hoping to visit them soon and after watching this really cool video shot by P. Allen Smith, we now want to go even more so. Looks like such a cool vibe and a neat place to see. Plus, yes, the beer.

 

P. Allen Smith: "You've never heard of a beer farm? There's a first time for everything. Prestonrose Farm and Brewing Co.​ offers a unique brewery experience."

Bell's Brewery: "Black Note, Überon, our Jazz Series, Bourbon Barrel Aged Expedition Stout and so many more. Take a tour of our barrel program with 2 of our brewers."

 

Founders Breakfast Stout: A Wakeup Call

Founders Brewing Co: "We’ve long believed in using only the best ingredients, knowing they result in the best flavor. With a beer like Breakfast Stout, a harmonious combination of oats, chocolate and coffee, it’s crucial that each of those ingredients are of the highest quality. Our hometown neighbors at Ferris Coffee and Nut embarked on an ambitious journey to win back their role as roasters of the coffee used in Breakfast Stout. Much like we did in our early years, this meant questioning the status quo and making a bold commitment to only produce the very best. This is the story of Breakfast Stout."

The Original Golden Monkey Tale

Fact: the first beer I ever had from Victory Brewing was Golden Monkey, a delicious Belgian Tripel, way back in my pre-Untappd days (so I can't look it up, but I think it was in Florida?). Needless to say I was hooked on the brewery and the beer right off the bat and was so glad to see them enter our market last year. Here's a fun video on my Victory cherry-buster.

Victory Brewing: "Our co-founder Ron recounts the true story behind our beloved Belgian-Style Tripel, Golden Monkey."

I'm not sure if it's is a real thing, but I'm calling this "Hop Porn." This video from one of the best breweries in the world is a so hopped up you can almost smell the hops as you watch it. Just wonderful. Enjoy
