The Rhode Island Brewfest returned to the WaterFire Arts Center for two sold-out sessions on Saturday, January 28. Dozens of regional beer vendors were there providing samples of their products and more.
Newport-area breweries were well represented at the Fest among them Ragged Island Brewing in Portsmouth, Reject’s Beer Co. in Middletown, as well as General’s Crossing and Conanicut Brewing in Jamestown. Brewers from throughout the region were present with products ranging from Cherry Almond Stout to triple IPAs to a variety of creative sours.
