Homeland and All Things Maher sometimes devolves into beer discussions because of Mike's love of Bronx Pale Ale, but I thought there was enough interest in adult libations to start a separate thread. (Mods delete if not).
First up, last March when we played and beat Omaha, I was in Providence for that win (and unfortunately for the Arkansas "L"), AND got to spend fun times with Mike, NC Johnnie, Dave (SJU 85), LMF, Weatherman, and a bunch of other great guys, many from this site, at Union Station Brewery (beers so-so) after the games.
While there I visited a really good slightly off-the-beaten-path brewery called Long Live Beerworks. Their specialty was IPAs, of the hazy variety, (think Other Half, etc.) and they did an excellent job with the style. I also tried a pilsner which was very good too.
In case anyone finds themselves in Providence RI, it is worth the trip to Long Live Beerworks.
Bonus: a little outside of Providence, in a town called Exeter, is another really good brewery, it is a farm and family run brewery also tilted towards IPAs with other beers mixed in, called Tilted Barn.
