New Petite La Roche Cheese

Introducing the newest member of our La Petite Roche specialty cheese line. This is "Queso OaxacaCabra", our take on a traditional Mexican style mozzarella. Oaxaca is the Mexican state where the cheese is believed to have been first produced by Italian Immigrants in the early 1950's. The cabra at the end denotes that it is made from goat's milk. During the cheesemaking process, the cheese is stretched (pasta filata) and then rolled up in a ball for the finished product. This style of cheese is widely used in Mexican cuisine for quesadillas and empanadas.

Prestonrose Beer Farm

To celebrate Arkansas Craft Beer Week, Prestonrose Farm and Brewing Co. will be bringing their incredible  beer to the city! These folks make some very fine beer. It’s so good, that it sells out every weekend, none left for the big city taps. 

They will be here at Kent Walker’s Thursday (GAME NIGHT!) September 15th from 5-10pm. We will have on tap, their Midwest styled, August IPA, and that so berry delicious Blamber, a full flavor Amber with Blackberries from Logan County, AR.  To sweeten the deal they will also have a few veggies and farm-made treats.

You do not want to miss this! Bring your KWAC growler or get one when you come, cause when this beer is gone, it’s gone!
