Instead of being in a convention hall or under a big tent, Taste of Arkansas happens at one of the Arkansas Brewers Guild’s member breweries. This year, Polk & Paddle will host fellow brewers at its Pocket Park, where they’ll serve their best beers with others who love Arkansas craft brewing.

For $4, you get an 8-ounce craft beer. Enjoy live local music all afternoon and get discounts at downtown restaurants, so you can explore more of Batesville while having fun at the festival.

All proceeds go to support the Arkansas Brewers Guild.
