Plenty of breweries are able to boast of their enviable proximity to national parks. (Coors, for instance, is located 30 miles downstream from Rocky Mountain National Park.) But only Superior Bathhouse Brewery and Distillery in Arkansas can say that its beer is made directly from one.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hot Springs National Park<\/a> has several bath-houses, most clustered along two blocks of historic Central Avenue, which runs through the heart of the park. Three years ago, park superintendent Josie Fernandez asked for ideas to help increase tourism. Rose Schweikhart, Superior\u2019s owner, responded: \u201cMake beer with water from the hot springs.\u201d The park\u2019s water has no taste or odor, and locals have been drinking it for hundreds of years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Superior made its first hot-spring-sourced beer in 2015, and today there are 16 varieties on tap. \u201cIt\u2019s the only business in the park system that produces a product using the main resource of the park,\u201d says Fernandez. And you\u2019ll have to make the trip to Arkansas to try it. \u201cThere\u2019s not enough water to turn it into a big enterprise,\u201d says Schweikhart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
