Diamond Bear Brewery, Little Rock’s first production brewery in more than fifteen years, started brewing in the fall of 2000. (Wondering about the name? Arkansas is the only state in the United States that boasts its very own diamond mine! And the bear part? Early on, Arkansas, with its large popular of bears, was known as the Bear State.)
First distributed locally in the Downtown River Market District, they have steadily expanded their offerings and their domain. Their beer styles are produced in the old time-honored traditional methods of European brewers, using only two-row malted barley, hops, yeast and great Arkansas water. You have your favorite
Beer of the Month Club’s guarantee that they never use adjuncts or preservatives of any kind.
This is a family owned brewery, with Russ and Sue Melton at the helm, guided by their vision of bringing craft beer to Arkansas and outward. Their Master Brewer, Jesse Melton, has had his hands in several of their Gold Medal winning brews; and Bonz is their prized retail guru.
Diamond Bear Pale Ale is a perfectly balanced classic English Pale Ale, medium bodied, with both sweetness from the malt and a pleasant hoppy aroma. Awards? Oh yeah! Silver at the GABF in 2003, followed by Golds in 2004 and 2006 at the World Beer Cup, and another Gold at the 2007 GABF.
Paradise Porter is paradise in a glass! This medium-bodied porter has notes of roasted and chocolate malt, making it a perfect balance of sweet and bitter. Generous hops give it a unique dry finish.
Featured Beer from Diamond Bear Brewery:Pale Ale and Paradise Porter
www.diamondbear.comPALE ALE: Diamond Bear’s Pale Ale: In spite of the name, these fruity, nutty, toasty flavored brews are golden to amber in color, and are sometimes called Amber Ales. Pleasantly dry with a little bitter aftertaste, serve with veggie salads and hearty burgers.
PORTER: Diamond Bear’s Paradise Porter: Porters, a member of the Ale family, were first brewed to fortify the hard-working laborers, including the porters on the docks. A meal in itself, you don’t need to eat when enjoying a Porter, but if you’re hungry, go for the beef (like Porterhouse steak), cold cuts or any type of fish dishes.
