_Every great journey begins with a first step—and in Rhode Island, each brewery is more than a stop, it’s a chapter in a story of discovery. _ From sunlit greenhouses and rustic barns to historic mills and harborside decks, every destination opens a new door into flavor, architecture, and atmosphere.
This is not just a beer trail—it’s an expedition. At each stop, the surroundings transform: farmhouse charm gives way to industrial intrigue, rustic beams open into wide fields, and waterfront decks suspend you between land and sea. Every glass poured is part of the adventure, every view a reminder that exploration is as much about where you are as what’s in your hand.
So step in. With each brewery, you’ll uncover a different world, a different thrill, and a different way to experience Rhode Island.
