The craft beer scene in New England is second to none, and Rhody can definitely hold its own in that department. Each of our breweries and brew pubs have plenty of character and charm to go along with the delicious brew. But we’ll always have a soft spot for Union Station Brewery. This is the first and only brew pub in the state that sits inside an old train station. And both the food and the beer are phenomenal.
