New Province Brewery opened in Rogers in 2016 and was founded by Derek and Megan McEnroe. In 2022, the brewery was acquired by John Lee and a few partners. Before New Province, Lee owned and operated Rebel Kettle Brewing Company in Little Rock and built it from the ground up.
He took a shining to brewing at a young age thanks to his first taste of a craft beer, and it’s one that helped start the movement nationally- we’ll tell you which one.
How did he learn to brew beer? He didn’t intern anywhere. He didn’t work at any breweries before opening his own. He’ll tell you how he learned.
And the lead up to opening that brewery? He tells us what he DIDN’T know and what his first day was like opening Rebel Kettle.
After 4 years, he got out of the beer business and went back to his professional roots, which benefitted him greatly. You’ll hear the story.
Finally, John bought New Province in 2022 and quickly looked to see what he had with an eye on expansion.
He’ll get specific on some of their beers and some that are coming down the pike.
It’s John Lee of New Province, next, right here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas!
