Stone’s Throw Brewing announced Wednesday the addition of a formerly separate storefront at its Little Rock location.
The addition brings increased seating to the taproom, and equipment upgrades allow up to 14 of the brewery’s products to be available for customers. The brewery is also now open Tuesday-Sunday.
“The brewery taproom has been a hit since we opened it to the public in 2013, attracting local beer lovers, tourists from all over the world, and neighborhood regulars to gather over great beer,” said Ian Beard, co-owner. “We’re excited to expand our seating, selection, and hours of operation to host our guests for even more memorable experiences.”
The original taproom space occupies two storefronts on 9th Street. A third storefront became available last fall and the new space increases seating capacity by 50 percent.
“Our taproom space has always been intimate, like so many places you see in Old World towns and villages,” Beard said. “We wanted to preserve that feel while making room for a few more customers to come enjoy a pint with us. I think we did a good job of accomplishing both goals with this expansion.”
Along with the increased seating and selection, Stone’s Throw taproom is increasing hours of operation to be open from 4-9 p.m. on Tuesday. The new Tuesday hours will be part of the brewery’s “Hops & Hope” initiative with the Beast food truck to support causes in the community.
One dollar from every pint sold in the taproom on Tuesdays will be donated to a local charity. Diverse Youth for Social Change will be the beneficiary for April, followed by Preserve Arkansas in May.
