New Brewing in Amity
Slate Rock Brewing opened in Amity–which is about 1.5 hours away from Little Rock–in April. According to the Facebook page, normal business hours are Friday & Saturday 11 a.m.-7 p.m. and Sunday 2 p.m.-7 p.m. Seems like it might be a nice weekend, day trip to head down there, grab a couple beers, then swing over to Deluca’s in Hot Springs for some pizza. I’m just saying.
East Village Street Food Jam
The inaugural East Village Street Food Jam will be held on the lawns of the Clinton Presidential Center on Saturday, June 16 from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Expect to see plenty of live music and food trucks, including Almost Famous, Beaver Tails, Bryant’s BBQ, Count Porkula, Kyleigh’s Lemonade Stand, Loblolly Creamery, Say Cheese Handcrafted Sandwiches, Slader’s Alaskan Dumpling Co., Sweet Tea Kitchen and Coffee Spot.
