Brewery Profile

Lost Forty Brewing

On Byrd Street in downtown Little Rock, Lost Forty Brewing serves as both a production brewery and a public taproom for visitors who want to sample Arkansas-made beer at the source. The name refers to a historic 40-acre forest preserve in Calhoun County, a detail that gives the brewery a clear connection to the state’s natural landscape without requiring visitors to know the backstory before arriving. Inside, the focus is straightforward: handcrafted beer, a daily taproom schedule, and a food menu built around American cuisine. For travelers exploring Little Rock’s beer scene, it offers a central stop where the brewery’s Arkansas-only distribution can be understood in context.

Visitors to this part of the region often look for places that connect local flavor with an easygoing meal, especially when a brewery can work as more than a quick tasting stop. Lost Forty fits that pattern through its combination of beer service, kitchen service, and on-site retail merchandise. The specific beer lineup may vary, so the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours rather than relying on assumptions about styles. Its state-only distribution also matters for beer travelers: this is not a brand widely available outside Arkansas, so visiting the taproom gives out-of-state guests a direct way to encounter what the brewery is currently producing.

For planning purposes, the address is 501 Byrd Street in downtown Little Rock. The taproom operates daily, making it a flexible option for visitors building an itinerary around museums, restaurants, or other downtown stops. Food is part of the regular experience, and Sunday brunch is served from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., which may be useful for travelers looking for a morning or midday visit rather than an evening beer stop. On-site retail merchandise is available for those who want something to take home besides packaged beer where offered. Current tap availability, kitchen details, and event-related updates are best checked through the brewery’s social media channels or directly with the taproom before going.
