| Here along the coast of Mississippi we enjoy a different speed of life. We know our neighbors, spend time with our families and make music on the back porch. It was with that spirit that we founded Mississippi’s first packaging brewery since prohibition, in September of 2003. We brewed our first beers under the late-blooming Magnolia trees that dot the banks of the Jourdan River. We called them the Lazy Magnolias because even they seemed to understand that perfection can’t be rushed. |

At Blue Moon Brewing Company, everything we do stems from our artistic approach to brewing beer. Our philosophy is simple. We take great, classic styles and make them even better by adding inviting twists. It’s been like that since we added our first twist back in 1995. And that’s why we say our beer – and everything we do – is Artfully Crafted. |
| Diamond Bear Brewing is Little Rock’s first production brewery in over 15 years. Diamond Bear started brewing on September 21, 2000, and started distribution on October 17, 2000 with the Flying Saucer (Downtown River Market District) being the first establishment to carry our product. We have since been expanding our market steadily. Our styles of beer are produced in the old time honored traditional methods of european brewers, using only two-row malted barley ,hops, yeast and great Arkansas water. Being brewed locally gives the beer a great advantage in “freshness” while still capturing some of the worlds most famous styles of beer without the use of adjuncts or preservatives! |
