Beer & Hymns marks 10 years of singing for Northwest Arkansas nonprofits
Beer & Hymns has been bringing people together to sing in Northwest Arkansas for 10 years, and it celebrates the milestone Sunday at Bike Rack Brewing in Bentonville.
Most months it meets twice, at Bike Rack Brewing or the Tontitown Winery. The sing-along mixes hymns with secular songs tied to a monthly theme, and each month a nonprofit benefits from donations.
The idea started at the Greenbelt Christian music festival in the U.K. Ken Weatherford, who co-founded the local version with his wife Casey in summer 2016, told KUAF it began as "beer and old school church hymns" and was mostly people from their church. In early 2017 they started adding themed songs, which opened it up to a much wider crowd.
