Al Capone was a frequent guest of the Arlington Hotel, as well as area bathhouses and nightclubs. Visit the Gangster Museum of America to learn more about this era.

Upcoming CRAFT BREWS Events Sept. 20: Zoo Brew, Little Rock

Sept 22: Little Rocktoberfest, North Little Rock

T

he microbrewery phenomenon is alive and thriving in Arkansas! Across the country in the last 10 years, something strange and extraordinary has happened. A 200-year-old industry has exploded with new brewery establishments and more than doubled its workforce. What is equally amazing is that this has happened during a time when U.S. beer consumption has actually declined.

The growth of microbreweries and craft beers is a direct outcome of changes in consumer taste, with people looking for fuller flavor and greater variety. Brew Fests are popping up across the country, reflecting the growing popularity of craft beers. Each year, the Ouachita Region hosts the Hot Springs Bath Haus Beer Festival and the Natural State Beer & Wine Festival. Central Arkansas also hosts a Great Arkansas Beer Festival, Food & Foam Fest.

Today, there are more than 30 breweries across Arkansas,

ycle along the West Mountain Trail in Hot Springs National Park for a mountain top experience and beautiful fall views. Spanning a little more than a mile, the West Mountain Trail intersects the Mountain Top Trail above Prospect Ave. The trail also crosses West Mountain Dr. onto a stone footbridge before merging with the Canyon Trail. Start at Whittington Park on the Mountain Top Trail and connect into West Mountain Trail for a nice loop trail experience.

Don't miss the nearby Arkansas Alligator Farm and Petting Zoo (AlligatorFarmZoo. com), a one-of-a-kind attraction that has been in Hot Springs for more than 100 years.

Treat yourself to a cold brew or two at one of the great microbreweries located near this trail including the Superior Bathhouse Brewery (Superior-

with at least one in each major city in the state. Many of their names reflect their Arkansan heritage. For example, Blue Canoe is named for the founders’ love of canoeing the Buffalo River, and Diamond Bear reflects the first two Arkansas state nicknames. Hot Springs’ Superior Bathhouse Brewery turned the long-vacant Superior Bathhouse into a brewery, tasting room, restaurant, and event venue. This microbrewery is noted for not only being the first brewery in a National Park, but also the world’s first to use the thermal spring water as a main ingredient.

For local brews, head to SQZBX Brewery and Pizza Joint, Grateful Head Pizza Oven and Beer Garden, Bubba Brew’s, or Superior Bathhouse Brewery in Hot Springs! And Little Rock boasts Rebel Kettle Brewery and Damgoode Pies Brewhouse in the River Market. With variety like these establishments, it's safe to say the craft beer trend is alive and well in Arkansas.

hiropractic care is more than just making the pain disappear. "It is about learning, understanding, and taking care of your body to improve your quality of life,” notes Dr. Don Dailey, who has been meeting the chiropractic needs of Hot Springs Village residents for more than 13 years.

A native Arkansan, Dr. Dailey attended Southern Arkansas University and graduated from Palmer Chiropractic College in 2005. Dr. Dailey made the decision to practice in Hot Springs Village because he liked the region. His specialty is decompression of the spine to help bulging discs, herniated discs, and neuropathy. Dr. Dai-

ley says working with Village seniors is both rewarding and challenging.

The challenges come from witnessing unique conditions. The rewards come from caring for seniors who are taking better care of themselves and being more active than seniors of years ago.

Since back pain is often about more than the back, Dr. Dailey has developed a strategy for his patients. He seeks to educate patients about chiropractic care and other natural solutions to common health problems, motivating them to take a more active and responsible role in restoring and maintaining their health.

Pour Yourself a Glass of Healthy Community at Central Nutrition

A

t first glance, you might be tempted to think Central Nutrition is just about the beverages. And while it is true, you’ll find delicious, healthy teas and shakes there, the place offers something else … a community.

“When you walk through the door at Central Nutrition, and you buy a shake or tea, you are automatically part of a health club,” says Shawn Cooper, co-owner.

The beverages are both tasty and healthy. Who wouldn’t want a shake that tastes like a candy bar but is also good for you? Cooper, and co-owner, Kelsey Moss, suggest trying the two most popular shake flavors, the chocolate chip pancake shake and the salted caramel shake. All shakes are fueled with Herbal Life protein.

Central Nutrition also serves healthy teas, which contain B vitamins and Ginseng, and get this… some actually burn calories… so you’ll end up with a calorie deficit. Whoa!

Pour me a glass, right?

The staff works hard to create an environment that builds community. “We want our customers to feel healthy in all aspects, not only physical but also mental and spiritual,”

raising event for cancer research in the Village,” said Melanie Pederson, Cancer Walk chairperson. “The Walk brings together survivors, family members of those who have lost loved ones, and the community. We couldn’t do this without our planning team who spends countless hours working to ensure a smooth and successful Walk.”

"RE/MAX of Hot Springs Village has been a part of the Village Walk for Cancer Research for over 12 years," says Clara Nicolosi, RE/MAX of Hot Springs Village owner.

RE/MAX will be serving house-made smoked brats and hot dogs from Clampit's Country Kitchen and Meat Market at the event. "What a privilege it is to be a part of an organization that has raised over a million dollars for cancer research. All of the proceeds will be used right here in Arkansas, at the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute at UAMS. Cancer touches the lives of everyone we know.

Working together we are one step closer to a cure."

Both Joey and Lynn Clampit, who own Clampit's, are cancer survivors. "This a cause that is near and dear to our hearts," said Joey Clampit. "Cancer research is something we want to take a part in, and we look forward to being a part of the event this year.

Regional Schools Provide Quality Educational Options

H

ot Springs Village is a great place to raise a family.

There are two schools nearby offering quality education programs for children Prek-12th grade.

Fountain Lake School District: Supporting "Every Student Every Day For Success" is the goal of the Fountain Lake School District according to the school’s website, FLCobras.net. The school, which is home to the Fountain Lake Cobras, aspires to inspire, motivate, and prepare students to be confident, productive, knowledgeable, goal-oriented citizens.

Fountain Lake includes students from both Garland and Saline counties and provides the latest technology.

The district is committed to do whatever it takes to support their students.

ons, the school which opened in 1937, has years of academic excellence and a commitment to the future of the Jessieville and Hot Springs Village community. The high school offers the HUB program, a non-traditional educational route that provides flexible options for learning via a combination of online and face-to-face courses, according to Melissa G. Speers, Ed. S., Jessieville interim superintendent. These students also receive job skills training. The school is built on the foundation that all students are lifelong learners, striving to strengthen students' integrity, engagement, and success in a safe and orderly environment.

"Jessieville School District has been home to multiple generations of families. It is a small school but it is still able to meet the needs of students to prepare them successfully for college and career," said Speers, noting the district "provides breakfast and lunch to every student at no cost to the parent or student."

Say Guten Tag to Little Rock's Fassler Hall Bring your friends and family to Little Rock’s Fassler Hall for a German bierhall experience that’s a little closer to home. With communal style seating, spread out and enjoy a cold beer or beverage from the full bar and some of the best bar food around, according to Ashley Price, General Manager.

Located in downtown Little Rock next door to Dust Bowl Lanes and Lounge, Fassler Hall’s large patio (the largest in Little Rock), is a great place to sample one of the Haus Made sausages, with nine options to choose from including the Hunter, which is made of Venison, Buffalo and Pork.

Don‘t miss the crackling pork rinds, which are made on site, and Duck fat fries. And no German bierhall would be complete without giant pretzels served with a spicy Gouda cheese sauce. With 18 beers on tap, this place has the adult beverage you are looking for!

Located in Little Rock’s Midtowne, Paninis and Company offers the perfect combination of fresh and delicious breakfast and lunch op-

tions, as well as healthy juices and smoothies. Be sure to try the unique açaí bowl, a smoothie of sorts that is loaded with ingredients like organic almond milk, banana, chia, and of course, açaí, and topped with fruit and coconut.

Owner, Barkley Boyd, likes to experiment with new and different options – be on the lookout for CBD oil shots and a hot breakfast menu.
