From the record
Summary
Rhode Island hometown beer since 1890, brewing at 271 Tockwotton Street, Providence, in an 18,000 sq ft brewery with taproom on the India Point Park waterfront. First-party evidence: after more than 40 years away, brewing returned to Rhode Island in 2021, and the Providence brewery produces roughly 2,500 barrels of small-batch beer a year. THE PREVIOUS RECORD FILED THIS BREWERY IN ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, because it was built from a New York State Liquor Authority Brewer licence in Monroe County and nothing else. That licence is real and is retained as evidence in this note - Narragansett was produced outside Rhode Island during the four decades it was away - but a contract or out-of-state production licence is not the brewery, and treating it as one filed the most famous beer in Rhode Island under another state. The Cranston plant is held separately as a closed production site. TO VERIFY: the dates the Rochester arrangement began and ended, and whether any production remains outside Providence.
