WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Since 2010, we have led Northwest Arkansas’ craft beer efforts and have loved doing it. Here is our story, our values, and our mission, and we hope we can bring you on board as we continue this crazy ride.

Core Brewing Company started in September of 2010. The founder, Jesse Core, began production on a 1-barrel RIMS brewhouse with 8 small 27-gallon fermenters. Our first client was Kingfish in Fayetteville. By 2012, we expanded our brewhouse to a 4-vessel, 25-barrel brewhouse with 4 x 25-barrel fermenters and 2 x 25-barrel Brite tanks. Demand grew quickly, and Core expanded again by adding 10 more 40-barrel fermentation vessels and 5 more 40-barrel tanks. Recently, we have added 3 x 120 BBL Fermentors and 1 x 120 Brite.

We are grateful that consumer demand has been high and driving our growth. At Core, we understand that our consumers expect high-quality product and we aim to exceed their expectations.

ABOUT THE WIENER

The wiener’s name is Barney.

Jesse’s mother bought him as a consolation for Jesse after his team lost the state football championship to their cross-town rival. Barney was a special member of the Core Family for over nineteen years, and now he’s immortal!

Barney has always been and will continue to be a part of the Core family. He is featured in our “Take Pride” logo, as a reminder of what we do and where we came from. “Take Pride” is our battle cry, our oath, and our commitment to you.

ABOUT THE BREWERY

Our brewery is located in Springdale, Arkansas.

At Core, we’re a proud force, from all walks and all schools bound together by our insatiable desire to create a beer worth hanging our lives on. Our product is crafted with the diligence and pride of small-town America, delivered with the hospitality for which the South is known.
