A melancholy entry on our #RhodeTrip as a couple of weeks ago I made the trip down to Community Bruin. Melancholy because due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic they are closing their doors permanently.

Owned by a husband and wife duo, this nano brewery operating out of an old Tim Hortons down in West Greenwich is truly a diamond in the rough. Currently, they are only offering bottles to go and homebrew equipment. Both can be ordered and picked up but only by appointment and can be made by e-mail with more information on their website. They offer a wide variety of styles and they are going fast so make sure you place your order as soon as possible. My favorite, and it is still available, is ‘Closing Time (AKA Covid Casualty)’ a light a crisp affair with just a subtle fruity sweetness.

Community Bruin is located at 74 Nooseneck Hill Rd. West Greenwich, RI. For more information regarding the brewery and how to order their beer click HERE
