Are you a legend? How about a Beer Drinker? If so, this blog is for you! We're talking about Core Brewing Company in Springdale! If you've never tried Core, you're missing out! Buying it at a Core public house is always an experience, and I've found that that experience even goes home with me afterward as I pour one for myself while I watch the Razorbacks. Core has a great product and a great story that goes all the way back to 2010 when they started.

The founder, Jesse Core, had a problem, the problem was that he was disappointed with the beer selection in Arkansas. So he decided to do something about it. He began production on a 1-barrel RIMS brewhouse with 8 small 27-gallon fermenters and then went one to build a community around his beer that truly makes it the Best Beer in Arkansas. You might be thinking, "Yeah, everyone says their product is the best". Well, I believe that if your advertising requires an asterisk then it's not good advertising. Let me assure you, Jesse's claim of Best Beer in Arkansas doesn't require an asterisk, It was Core beer was voted Best Local Brewery in 2013 and 2015, and has been consistently voted "best beer" in almost every beer competition or brewery festival  from the inception of "Core" back in 2010!

While the beer is amazing, the culture is something that truly makes Core special, when you go in, you know that you're a part of something special. That's because of their core values.  They take pride in being Arkansas born and brewed. In being at the core of the community, In having the best brewers brewing the best damn beer in Arkansas. Period. They take pride in doing what they know is right, not what they’re told is right.

But probably my favorite part of all of this is the Weiner of Core Brewing Company! I know what you might be thinking. What!?!? I'm talking about the Weiner Dog that you'll see all around Core Brewing Company! His name is Barney and he is a big part of the team! 19 years ago Jesse’s mother bought him as a consolation for Jesse after his team lost the state football championship to their cross-town rival. Barney is unfortunately no longer with us, but he was a special member of the Core Family, and is now immortal! Barney has always been and will continue to be a part of the Core team. He is featured in the “Take Pride” logo, as a reminder of what they do at Core and where they came from. “Take Pride” is the battle cry, oath, and commitment to their customers! So next time you want to go out, pick up some beer, or find a place to hang out with friends. Check out Core Brewing Company, you'll be glad you did!
