Core Brewing & Distilling Co.

Great Beer! I have a home Kegerator and stopped in to sample one or two and possibly grab a keg for it. I had already had a few beers from Core on tap or bottle from other locations but nothing beats getting it from the source. Some of my favorite places are breweries. After a couple of samples, and destroying they tray of popcorn they were handing out, I selected the Hazelnut Brown. The flavors are amazing. Beer is smooth and not too over powering. I haven’t been into the store in Rogers yet but I look forward to it. Well done Core!!!

Great beer, pet friendly, laid back vibe. What more can you ask for? We also met the owner, Jesse, and Larry (the bulldog) — Larry & Eve (my pug) got along really well! You can also bring food in if you’re planning to stay awhile (which we always are)! My favorite: Arkansas Red.

Great Beer, Great Atmosphere. This place was our first micro brewery we found in NW Arkansas and they know how to brew beer.

First and foremost, a tasting room should be fun. Yes, you go for the beers, but a tasting room is all about the experience. You go in with a group (or solo, if you’re in that mood!) and want to sit for a while, have a good time, and get a few beers.
And in that, Core positively glows!
Super friendly staff, a great space with a variety of seating, and an open and well-​lit room that still gets that cozy hang-​out feel just right. There’s a long bar full of seats, and few smaller tables, some outdoor seating, and even an event space or two off to the side for big groups or especially boisterous folks.
Also, in addition to the regular Core favorites, you’ll get to try their limited releases, wacky mixes, and some of the aged/​infused beers. If you’re never had a chocolate mole beer, it worth a visit by itself! And it makes a mean beer float: D
The folks who work here though are the real icing on the cake, they’re fun, know the area, the history, and they’re kind and generous well beyond the call! they might even be doing trivia if you happen to swing by on a Sunday afternoon…
Major bonus perk? They love dogs!

Fun atmosphere, with a super helpful and friendly owner! He came and greeted us as we came up and explained everything they had on tap, which was great for beer amateurs like me.
Loved the inside of the building with live music, and also the patio, but it could have used a heater or two since the night was slightly chilly.
Lots of local brews on tap, including a fun hazelnut one!

I doubt my life will ever take me back to Springdale, Arkansas, but I loved every minute of my visit to Core Brewing a few weeks ago. I have been to many breweries now, and Core stands out as being uniquely cool without trying too hard. The building puts on zero airs, but offers up some great beer.
My boyfriend and I stopped in on the Friday night that we headed down to Fayetteville for a random weekend adventure. We ordered the flight then grabbed a seat at a picnic table. It was a cold night, so the building was on the chilly end, but we kept our coats on and let the alcohol warm us up. I always think flights are the best way to go if you want to see what a brewery has to offer, and Core’s didn’t disappoint. There was a good mix brews and the information sheet taught us a little bit about each.
I think a solid 5^th star goes to the fact that the bartender helped us get free tickets to the Arkansas/​LSU game for the next day. It was completely unexpected but we ended up having an incredible time, all thanks to a random act of kindness.
Cheers, Core, and thank you for your array of wiener jokes!

I think this is a must visit for anyone wanting to explore brews of NWA. Amazing beer selection in a beautiful and spacious tap room. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about their brews. The place can get pretty packed out on football Saturdays so get there early :). I’ve loved the atmosphere of the place each time we’ve visited. Feel free to bring some food and enjoy some great times.

Northwest Arkansas is getting tons of breweries nowadays, but core will always stand out to me. They have such a great selection to choose from, whether your a beer expert or you just enjoy the occasional beer, you’ll love this brewery. Can’t wait to try their second location (atmosphere looks phenomenal at the Rogers pub!)

Great beer, great service, great atmosphere for a few relaxing beers and conversation with friends. Nuff said.

This beer is for those who normally DON’T like beer, it will convert you! I’m not much of a beer person but someone insisted I try, I’m soooo glad I did.
It’s pricy, but worth it. You’ll have to almost beg your liquor store to carry it but you, and they, won’t be disappointed. The one place I found in NW Arkansas that carries them has a hard time keeping it in stock, and they are just down the road from the brewery!
Anyway, once you try it, if your like me you’ll be a convert. Problem is, they need to figure out how to reduce the darn price!!!

The most polished of the local breweries. Popular, so the small tasting room is often packed. There is not a lot to dislike about the beer here; nothing too creative, but always well executed.

Love this place. Although small and a bit crowded, great locally brewed beer, good atmosphere. A must go

This was a fun place to visit. It is a working brewery with a small bar surrounded by a few picnic tables. I would have liked to try more of their beers, but the bar was crowded and the bartenders were having problems with the taps and kept running back and forth to another building. The dark beers, wheat beer and seasonal «pumpkin» beer that I sampled were quite good. There wasn’t really a menu or anything that I saw and the bartenders were busy and weren’t real clear in explaining what was available. I would have liked to have a sampler platter or something like I’ve had at other breweries.
A clear menu with descriptions of the available brews would be helpful. Popcorn was available next to the bar, but I don’t know if they serve food. I look forward to trying more of their beers, but hopefully it won’t be so chaotic next time I’m there.

This is a working brewery. You can taste the different beers Core offers and by yourself a pint or if you found the one you like grab yourself a half gallon in a neat looking jug. They have popcorn to munch on and TVs to watch sports. Similar to a nice small pub just without the food. Great local brewery and what a gem it is. The beer is cold and refreshing. Hopefully they continue to expand and offer the beer in more locations
