DTR Breweries Participate in Statewide Celebration

Posted by: Karen Wagaman on Wednesday, March 27, 2024

On March 30th, Ozark Beer Company and Greenhouse Aleworks will be among 24 breweries across the state of Arkansas celebrating Pint Day organized by the Arkansas Brewers Guild. The Pint Day will serve as a fundraiser for the Guild and highlight local taprooms and breweries across the State. This year’s theme is the “Great Arkansas Aleclipse,” and features a commemorative pint glass celebrating the day.



Through Pint Day, the Arkansas Brewers Guild hopes to shine a spotlight on breweries and their contributions in their hometowns, regions, and statewide. “Breweries play such an outsized role in their communities and provide so much in addition to the beer they produce,” said Lacie Bray, president of the Arkansas Brewers Guild and co-owner of Ozark Beer Co. “Breweries are providing entertainment, music and festivals as well as spaces for people to come together within their communities. Pint Day is a day to for all of us to gather at our favorite breweries and celebrate Arkansas made beer and breweries.”
