Breweries in Arkansas produce a wide range of beers in different styles that are marketed locally, regionally, and nationally. In 2012 Arkansas' 14 breweries, importers, brewpubs, and company-owned packagers and wholesalers employed 100 people directly, and another 6,000 in related jobs such as wholesaling and retailing. Including people directly employed in brewing, as well as those who supply Arkansas' breweries with everything from ingredients to machinery, the total business and personal tax revenue generated by Arkansas' breweries and related industries was more than $129 million. Consumer purchases of Arkansas' brewery products generated another $68 million in tax revenue. In 2012, according to the Brewers Association, Arkansas ranked 41st in per capita craft breweries with 10.
For context, at the end of 2013 there were 2,822 breweries in the United States, including 2,768 craft breweries subdivided into 1,237 brewpubs, 1,412 microbreweries and 119 regional craft breweries.
