Quentin Willard, the owner of Fort Smith Brewing Company, is planning on opening a microbrewery in downtown Van Buren. The brewery will be named Pointer Place and Willard is hoping to open in mid-May.
Willard is a Van Buren native and graduated from Van Buren High School. Before his career in brewing, Willard attended the United States Military Academy and graduated as a 2nd Lt. Field Artillery Officer in 2007.
Willard is currently waiting on permits from the state before he can begin setting up the Van Buren brewery. Pointer Place will be the first of its kind in Van Buren and located at 621 Main St. in Van Buren.
