Description
From Bath House to small batch Brewery
Built in 1916, the Superior operated as a bathhouse in Downtown Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas, until its closure in 1983. After lying vacant for 30 years, current owner Rose Schweikhart re-imagined the Superior Bathhouse into a craft brewery with a full service, family-friendly restaurant. We are Hot Springs on tap.
After signing the lease from the Department of the Interior, Rose began construction in late spring of 2013 and today the Superior Bathhouse is home to the only brewery in a US National Park and the only brewery in the world to utilize thermal spring water in their beer. Rose considers beer to be a creative process. She and the Superior Bathhouse brewing team crank out a constant stream of new beer from the original to the outlandish. Stop by the Superior and experience #HotSpringsOnTap for yourself!
Hot Springs National Park’s thermal water fell as rain over 4,000 years ago and reaches the surface at a piping hot 143 degrees! Water from 47 springs is centralized and tested for safety prior to distribution to bath houses, jug fountains, and our brewery for your personal drinking enjoyment.
