As
we continue our Rhode Trip let me take you back to last weekend. Right after
leaving Tilted Barn we decided to head down the road to Shaidzon Beer Company. A
little off the beaten path in West Kingston and located in a complex with other
businesses, they are where Proclamation use to be (a very Rhode Island phrase/occurrence).
Currently, they are only serving in their outdoor space due to COVID-19 and this
seating area is located towards the back of the building with multiple picnic
tables and chairs around propane fireplaces, it has the feel of drinking in a friend’s
backyard.
While there are available heaters, last weekend when we went it was absolutely frigid with a blustery wind that whipped right through the beer garden. Despite the less-than-ideal conditions the beer was top notch. I ordered ‘Rachard’ which is a Peach IPA brewed in honor of Rachard Nash, a member of the staff that tragically passed away. It was a super juicy and hazy IPA that was almost too crushable. My girlfriend ordered ‘Winter Nightz’ a rich and robust stout that was perfect for such a cold day.
While spirits
were high as we sat there bundled up near our propane fireplace we had to leave
early because of the cold. I definitely wanted another pour but settled for
some To-Go cans instead. Shaidzon continues to be one of the great breweries in
the state and a place you need to make an effort to go to… Just make sure you
are wearing the right clothes
Shaidzon Beer Company is located at 141 Fairgrounds Rd. West Kingston, RI 02892. For more information about the brewery please click HERE
