With the most diverse craft beer selection in Rhode Island, we've handcrafted a distinctive blend of artisan beer styles that range from traditional and hazy ales and lagers to experimental beers, pushing the limits of creativity and innovation in everything we do.

The best place to grab a beer and hang out! The atmosphere is electric, the beer is the best beer in New England, it's clean, and it's very family-friendly.
Absolutely amazing space for a brewery. Easy parking. Oh and did I mention great beers? Dog friendly inside and out which is a must for us.
Great selection of beers, beautiful space, kid-friendly, dog-friendly, great friendly staff, and you can bring in food with you. Overall great experience not to be missed!!!
Great beers, terrific venue, bartender was fantastic. Highly recommend.
I can't say enough good things about this place. Service, vibe, atmosphere, and product were 10/10.
Terrific space and awesome vibe. Very cool contrast between old mill building and art and kitschy furniture. Dogs, kids, and folks of all ages were having a great time. Beer was good too.
