The Arkansas Repertory Theatre’s upcoming 40th mainstage season opener, William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth,” is only a few weeks away, and to celebrate, The Rep and Stone’s Throw Brewing are hosting a beer naming contest. The brew in question is a brand new malty Scottish Red Ale, its reddish hue reflecting some of the tale’s nastiest battles. The beer also has a hint of rye, spicing up the full-bodied beverage.
Last week, people submitted names for the Bard brew, and now the top names have been chosen. Now you can go to The Rep’s Facebook page and vote by liking the photo with your favorite name. The name with the most likes wins, and voting ends August 26.

The winning name will be announced with the unveiling of the ale on Friday, August 28, at 6:30 p.m. at 6:30 p.m. at Stone’s Throw. The winner will receive a growler of the beer and two tickets to “Macbeth.” You can find the ale at Stone’s Throw throughout the play’s run, September 11-27. And ever the allstars, Loblolly Creamery will also incorporate the beer into a special ice cream that will be sold at its counter and at The Rep until closing night.
Tickets to “Macbeth” are on sale now. You can purchase yours online by visiting The Rep’s website. You can also call (501) 378-0405 or stop by the theater’s box office downtown at 601 Main St., Little Rock.
