Rapp’s Barren Brewing Company

Rapp’s Barren really has two histories, that of the brewery and that of “My Sweet Mountain Home”, originally called Rapp’s Barren. Legend has it that Henry Rapp first settled in this area of the Ozarks in the early 1800’s naming it Rapp’s Barren. Through time it became known for its sweet breeze on hot, humid days and the phrase “My Sweet Mountain Home” was born and eventually voted as an official name of Mountain Home. Rapp’s Barren the brewery was formed after Russell and Chris began home brewing beer together in their garages, entered some competitions for some critique on their creations and after some very positive feedback and local awards, the itch started to try something new. One thing led to another and before they knew it they had signed a lease on their first home away from home which is an entire story in itself! We officially opened our doors on September 15th, 2017 to incredible support and positive feedback, leading us to decide not only did we want to stay for long term but this hobby turned business could be supported as well. This officially started the search to find a full time brewer and permanent home.
