Bentonville Brewing

What Bentonville Brewing does

Bentonville Brewing Company, founded in 2015, operates a single craft brewery and taproom at 901 SW 14th St. in Bentonville, Arkansas. The company produces an in-house portfolio of approximately 15 alcoholic beers and ciders organized across stylistic categories (IPAs, lagers, porters/stouts, ambers, ciders, and fruited/sour offerings), plus four non-alcoholic beverages including a root beer, mango hop water, and two craft sodas. Brewing uses traditional methods combined with state-of-the-art techniques and the finest ingredients, with select recipes employing Brewers Clarex enzyme for gluten reduction.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market: a direct-to-consumer taproom featuring a dog- and kid-friendly patio, on-site kitchen (The Burg), rotating food trucks, and a recurring events calendar (Trivia on Mondays, Music Bingo on Tuesdays, plus private event bookings via PlanEvently); and B2B distribution into regional on-premise (Crystal Bridges, Airship at the Pumphouse, Preacher's Son, Oven & Tap, Table at the Hickory Inn, among others) and off-premise accounts (Walmart stores #4376, #3164, #100; Harps; Finnegans Liquor). A website-based Beer Finder helps consumers locate the beers at local retailers, and an online store via Square/Arryved sells branded merchandise.

Revenue is generated through one-time taproom and merchandise sales, transaction-based beer distribution, and venue-based private event services. Pricing is pay-as-you-go at the taproom with only individual beer prices publicly disclosed (e.g., Lil' Wrecker IPA at $5.00 for 16oz). The company serves local families, craft beer enthusiasts, and tourists visiting Northwest Arkansas, with no external institutional funding, no subsidiaries, no patents or trademarks on record, and an 11–50 employee headcount in a privately held structure.
