ABOUT US
ABOUT OUR HISTORY
At Fort Smith Brewing Company, we’re all about brewing adventure and tradition. As Fort Smith’s only brewery, we make all our beers on-site, ensuring each sip is a fresh and exciting experience.
Fort Smith, Arkansas, has a storied brewing past, starting with Joseph Knoble Brewery in 1850. Despite prohibition’s impact, our brewing spirit endured, rekindled by Weidman’s Old Fort Brew Pub in 1992. We launched Fort Smith Brewing Company in 2017, bringing new life to Chaffee Crossing.
With historic brewing equipment from Weidman’s era, we blend tradition with innovation, creating unique beers that reflect our pioneering spirit. Join us for a taste of Fort Smith’s brewing heritage and a toast to the future of microbrewing. Cheers to adventure and great beer!
