While you’re in Mountain Home, one local business well worth a visit or three is Rapp’s Barren Brewing Company. Rapp’s has bragging rights beyond their great brew selection – they’re the first brewery to open in Mountain Home! Let’s sit for a sip and see more of this tasty landmark:
The brewery opened in fall of 2017 and has managed to thrive even during the pandemic! Let's explore this brewery more.
Their name pays homage to the town. When Mountain Home was originally settled in the early 1800s, the area was known as "Rapp's Barren." What looked like a barren, seemingly infertile plot of land to some was cherished and developed by settlers.

The brewery was started by Russell Tucker and Chris Gordon and their love of craft beer. Every single batch served at Rapp's is hand crafted with high standards.
Let your palette pick between the Buffalo Blonde Ale, My Sweet Mtn. Home Stout, or a balanced 1810 Cream Ale. The taps routinely change but one definitely worth sipping is the Pandemic DIPA (Double India Pale Ale). Your traveling tastes don't have to stop there though! In addition to the beer brews, Rapp's also has rich coffee, kombucha, and soda!
The food selection changes quite a bit but is always delicious! You may catch Kyle's in-house pizza or a mouthwatering burger from The Curb food truck.
Come for the brews but stay for the food, music, and good company at Rapp's. Be sure to follow their Facebook Page for food truck insights and head to their website to see what's on tap!
