Craft Breweries near Hot Springs

“Highly recommend taking the Origami Sake tour. The knowledge and passion in what they do is incredible. Forget your past restaurant experiences of tasting mass made bitter sake. There is much more to making quality craft sake than you would think. Great addition to Hot Spring! They are the real deal!“

“Stopped by Superior Bathhouse Brewery while in Hot Springs and it definitely delivered on both food and beer.

I ordered the Fun Guy Patty Melt with mac & cheese and a 4-beer flight to get a good sample of what they offer.
The patty melt comes stacked with two beef patties sourced from Natural State Beef Company, Swiss cheese, house-made mayo, sautéed onions, and mushrooms on toasted sourdough. (I skipped the mushrooms and added some of their local Arkansas hot sauce from the table.) That little adjustment gave the sandwich just the right kick, bringing out the richness of the grilled beef and balancing nicely with the sweetness of the onions. The bread had a solid toast on it, holding everything together without getting soggy.

The mac & cheese on the side was creamy, smooth, and comforting, simple but done right, with a nice peppery finish.

For the beer flight (4 samples, about 4 oz each, perfect for trying multiple options), I went with:

Sweet Nectar of the Gods (Cream Ale) – slightly sweet with hints of vanilla and a light honey finish. Smooth and easy to drink.

Spicy Ride (Jalapeño Ale) – my personal favorite. Just enough heat to warm your lips without overpowering the beer. Balanced really well.

Cerveza con Limón (Mexican Lager) – light, crisp, and refreshing with a subtle lime note.

DeSoto’s Folly (Golden Stout) – rich and roasty but surprisingly light in color, with a smooth finish.

The flight is a great way to explore their lineup without committing to a full pour.

Overall, this place has a unique concept (brewing beer with thermal spring water), solid food, and a laid-back atmosphere that fits Hot Springs perfectly. Definitely worth stopping in if you’re in town.“
