This week Stone’s Throw is rolling out the annual Ales for ALS release in their McArthur Park location. The 2019 special Ales for ALS brew is an American Pale Ale hopped up with an experimental blend from Loftus Ranches & YCH Hops exclusively available as part of the Ales for ALS fundraiser. The hops are the star of this tasty brew, with distinct grapefruit aroma and citrusy flavor notes. $1 of every pint sold helps support the ALS TDI. You can pick this up Friday starting at 4.
Lost Forty is releasing another of their experimental pilot batches today at 4. This one is a dry hopped saison that comes across with banana and melon flavors, they describe it as “…reminiscent of a hazy IPA crossed with a floral and light-bodied Saison.” They are also running a memorial day stock up event this week that features free gear when you buy beer in the taproom.
If you are up for a short road trip, the first ever Blues and Brews on 22 event is coming up on June 1st. This is taking place in Paris Arkansas and is organized by Prestonrose Brewery. There are a handful of campsites available if you want to stick around, the trip is just under 2 hours away.

They also feature a number of Little Rock Breweries like Buffalo, Rebel Kettle, Flyway, Stone’s Throw, and Lost Forty. In addition to the beer they will have 4 food trucks, including Delta Biscuit Co, and four different bands playing. Tickets are $50 and available here.
