After a week's worth of snow and ice began to melt, the Washington County Fairgrounds turned into quite the mud pit, but that didn't stop nearly a thousand local beer enthusiasts from descending upon the Washington County Fairgrounds for the 2023 Frost Fest.

The winter beer festival, presented by Fossil Cove Brewing Co, brought over 55 breweries from across eight states to Fayetteville, where they got to highlight and share samples of their best brews.

A fleet of local food trucks rolled out with great eats for festivalgoers. Local artisans and businesses came to the event to connect with the public and display their products and services, and rocking out on stage were The Phlegms, Vintage Pistol, and Nick Shoulders & Okay Crawdad.

Beyond enjoying great beer and local businesses, it was a blast getting to see friends from all over Northwest Arkansas gathering to raise a glass to good times and great beer with big smiles on their faces.

Great work Fossil Cove. We can't wait for next year!
