A family-run brewery in a 1920s macaroni factory on Canal Street. Alan and Jennifer Brinton opened it after moving to Rhode Island. The taproom is small, with yard games and a courtyard.
Worth knowing
Closed early week
Do not arrive Monday or Tuesday on the current posted season. Dogs are outdoors in the courtyard, not inside the taproom, except service animals. Large groups call ahead.
With kids. Their FAQ calls the taproom family-friendly, with board games, yard games, and soft drinks for people under age. It is still a bar.
With a group. They take reservations for large groups by phone, and private parties by a named contact. A pair of friends does not need a reservation.
The short version
Grey Sail says the building at 63 Canal Street was the Westerly Macaroni Factory. They moved in on 4 April 2011 and brewed a first flagship that November. Food is a summer thing. In the colder months they tell you to bring your own.

Bring food, except in summer
