DIAMOND BEAR BREWING SOUTHERN BLONDE BLACK BEAR draft beer tap handle. North Little Rock, Arkansas. Founded in 2000 as the first commercial brewery in the state. Named as such because it is the only state in the U. Where diamonds are naturally found. Oh, and Arkansas was once known as the Bear State. Southern Blonde was first an American Lager then later reformulated and made into a. Two-row pale malts with Perle and Saaz hops. Please view all 21 photos as they are the best part of the description. The last picture is an older friend and is only shown for reference. The roaring bust of a black bear mounted like a trophy. He is finely sculpted and painted by hand. The mouth is open and you can see his sharp teeth. 4 sided white base is labeled on 2 front panels with custom printed labels. Solid and heavy feel. They have not used this style in a while. Not often seen this nice. Tap handle has been turned and rotated so all sides are pictured.
