Terracotta Brings Boutique Brewery Vibes to Bentonville

The team behind Greenhouse Aleworks in Downtown Rogers has launched a new kind of brewery experience in Bentonville with the opening of terracotta at 3406 SE J Street #4.

• Growing Through It: Owners Travis and Lauren Banks opened Greenhouse Aleworks in 2023, but the Memorial Weekend storms of 2024 destroyed their location. A new DT Rogers location is in the works, but in the meantime, they have launched terracotta, a boutique-style concept that reflects Lauren’s background in retail and the couple’s shared passion for community.

• Not Your Dad’s Taproom: Equal parts craft beer spot and curated boutique, terracotta brings a warm, feminine energy to the NWA brewery scene. The 25-seat space features handpicked gifts, candles, and cozy vibes that invite lingering conversation—perfect for a casual afternoon drink or a meet-up with friends.
