Mud Bugs and Beer Mugs Hit the Rogers Brewery Scene This April

Crawfish season is here, and Rogers is celebrating the right way — with a hop-on/hop-off shuttle crawl through some of the city’s best breweries and pubs, all anchored by a steaming pile of Cajun crawfish on the waterfront.

THE DEETS

Sit Back, the Driving’s Handled

Soul Compass Tours runs the shuttle route on their land yacht buses, looping through the Rogers brewery corridor all afternoon. You park once, hop on, and rotate through the stops at your own pace. When you’re ready to move, catch the next bus. When you want to stay a little longer, stay.

Your ticket covers the bus fare between all stops. Food and drinks are purchased directly at each venue.

Where the Crawfish Is At

Delta Crawfish NWA is set up at Natural State Beer Company for the day, serving up Cajun-seasoned crawfish with corn, red potatoes, and sausage on the waterfront patio overlooking the lake at Village on the Creeks. Come with an appetite and plan to circle back — you’ll want more than one round.

The Route

The shuttle makes a continuous loop through these stops:

• Downtown Rogers Stop — includes Ozark Beer Co., The 56, The Rail, Parkside Public, and Onyx Coffee Lab
• Natural State Beer Company — crawfish hub and home base
• Rendezvous Junction Stop — includes Birdies & Brews and Fox Tail Distillery
• Uptown Kitchen + Tap

A Few Things to Know Before You Go

This is a shellfish event — if you or anyone in your group has a crawfish allergy, take note and plan accordingly. Seating on the shuttle is limited, so securing your tickets early is a good move. And with the event running through the afternoon, starting early gives you more time to work through the route.

Grab your tickets before they sell out, and come hungry.
