Natural State Beer Company

Natural State Beer Company, a Rogers brewery owned and run by a family, focuses on traditional, true-to-style lagers. It was inspired by the state’s long brewing past, which owes a great deal to German brewers, and by the owners’ love of German-style beer. The brewery takes pride in the beauty of the Ozarks, and its logo shows Hawksbill Crag, one of the most photographed spots in Arkansas, chosen over landmarks like the Buffalo River and Devil’s Den. The owners’ guiding idea is Gemütlichkeit, the German word for a sense of community, warmth and good cheer. The taproom has a lakeside patio overlooking the Razorback Greenway, and well-behaved dogs are welcome on the patio and in the beer garden. Natural State hosts its own Oktoberfest, beer releases, community gatherings and seasonal events, and it has space for private events.
