Beer City Dog Biscuits is giving adults with special needs a business of their own.
The nonprofit was started three years ago by Leslie Hooker and Suzanne Wilcox, when they realized that after their children aged out of public school there were not many options for them.

Harrison brewer speaks out against bigotry from the beer hall and beyond
Harrison brewer speaks out against bigotry from the beer hall and beyond Kenny Peden of Brick & Forge Brew Works Brian Sorensen
Kenny Peden is one outspoken fella.

Just last week, Peden tweeted an open invitation to join him on the Bentonville square to protest the state’s 2021 anti-transgender legislation. Last summer he joined a march through Zinc, adopted hometown of the Ku Klux Klan, as a show of support for the Black Lives Matter movement. He has helped organize or publicize other protests in the region, using his Twitter feed to rally people to progressive causes.
