Description

Scott Parton, known as Arkansas’ Beer Ambassador, was born and raised in the small town of Piggott, Arkansas and attended Arkansas State University in the neighboring city, Jonesboro.

He's worked for Stephens as an Operations Analyst for the past 25 years, but his claim to fame has nothing to with computers but craft beer. Scott does not yet own a brewery, though he has dabbled in making his own beer. No, Scott's claim to fame is through enlightening people about different types of beers and being the liaison between local breweries and beer enthusiasts.

He co-hosts a show on 103.7 The Buzz called Tap Time that explores the growth of Arkansas' craft beer scene and what it takes to make a good beer. Scott has a passion for writing and has often written articles for various magazines and websites.

He runs arkbeerscene.com, a blog all about beer which he uses to keep his readers informed about what is going on in Arkansas' craft beer scene. Scott is also very active on Twitter, and you might follow him and not even know it. His handle isn't his name but instead is @WooPigBrewie.
