A look into the Whalers Brewing Company in Wakefield RI. This isn’t just a brewery that sells growlers to the public, it’s more than that. Since its inception the locals have done everything they can to help get theses gentlemen off the ground with their brewery. The atmosphere inside the brewery is relaxed, the facility is […]
Tucked away in woods of Exeter, RI is a brewery like none other. The Tilted Barn Brewery started when there was a hop shortage a few years back and the owners, Matt and Kara Richardson, decided they wanted more for home brewing purposes. Very quickly one thing led to another and the next thing they knew, […]
The Ocean State Homebrew Competition is on once again. It’s time for you avid homebrewers to test your mettle for the coveted prize. There can be only one! I’m kidding. If your brew is good enough, you could win a ribbon for your category, and if it’s really good, you might even grab a spot […]
It’s soon to be that time of year again. Crazy uncles taking over the living room couch, chaos in the kitchen, giant plucked foul defrosting on the counter. No wonder Rhode Islanders have chosen the night before (or after) Thanksgiving to be the night of high school reunions and boozing with friends. This year, however, […]
Ah, the classic Negroni. That ballsy little drink of gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari. Herbal, bitter, sweet, blushing. Just what you want when sitting down after a long hot day discussing the finer points of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. But then again, a classic drink sometimes needs a classic fling. Hold the gin, […]
I regrettably knew nothing about Warren before I embarked on this journey. I wasn’t even sure where it was — in the middle of Rhode Island somewhere? But I’d heard it described as “an underrated beach town” with an artsy feel and waterfront restaurants, and that was a romantic enough portrait to make me plug […]
Newport Storm Luau! Every year at Fort Adams State Park, the Coastal Extremists of Rhode Island’s first microbrewery throw a great big party with food, beer, drinks, dancers, games, music, history and a great view of RI’s coastline. It’s called the Newport Storm Luau, it goes down on August 16 and it’s done to benefit […]
Narragansett vs. Yuengling Beer Battle Yuengling has arrived in the Ocean State. The beer that amassed a rabid fan following from Jersey to Florida has finally broken into New England. Ever since, I’ve been hearing, “I wonder what Narragansett thinks about that?” and “Narragansett is better!” as well as “Nuh-uh, Yuengling is better!” It’s interesting […]
A Look into the West Side Gem By: Maggie Dunleavy & Ginnie Dunleavy “Old school” is the first thing that comes to mind after speaking with those behind Julians, a Providence classic in the way of good eats and eclectic ambiance. We sat down with Julian, founder and keeper of the restaurant, and longtime manager, […]
A Review of Cranston’s First and Only Brew Pub Well, they’ve finally done it … the pigs have flown to Cranston for its worst-kept secret: Brutopia. From the first whispers of pigs on the wing perfecting their flying skills to their whirlwind opening, many have been abuzz with the possibility of BBQ and beers all […]
