The Ultimate Brewery Trail for Craft Beer Lovers

Across the nation, the popularity of craft beer is unwavering. Northwest Arkansas is no different in its love for foamy brews and has a plethora of breweries to whet any beer lover’s lips.

In fact, it has a trail to follow, passport to get stamped and a prize for those that choose to do so. The Fayetteville Ale Trail, so named because it originated in the city of Fayetteville, now represents a trail that goes through several cities in the northwest corner of the state. Pick your passport up at the Fayetteville Visitor Center on the downtown square or at any of the breweries.
