Phantom Farms Brewing is a craft brewery that opened in Cumberland, Rhode Island in March 2024. It…read morewas founded by entrepreneur Jason Macari and his son-in-law Jay Neveu. Macari first worked for toy manufacturer Hasbro before launching a custom cabinetry business with another former Hasbro colleague. Today he is involved in multiple businesses. For a new venture, Macari decided to open his own brewery with Neveu, another former Hasbro employee. The partners acquired and completely renovated the circa 1872 Berkeley Mill boiler room building to house the brewery. They named it "Phantom Farms" after the Macari family's local apple orchard and bakery just down the road. Oscar Garrido and Andrea Riera, a husband-and-wife team from Chile, were hired as the head brewers. Since opening, Phantom Farms has become known for its farm-to-pint operation, its close connection to its namesake orchard, a historic taproom, and award-winning lagers. I recently visited Phantom Farms Brewing while I was in town for the day. I was scheduled to meet up with some other beer bloggers. The first thing I noticed was how beautiful the restored historic building was. There was plenty of space upstairs and downstairs, indoors and outdoors, and the brewery is also family-friendly. After exploring all of the various rooms, I looked over the draught menu. There was an eclectic mix of beer styles as well as hard cider crafted with apples from the Phantom Farms Orchard. Between mingling with the other bloggers and playing some games of Biñho, I enjoyed pours of "Half Dark" (Czech Amber Lager), "Elegant Viking" (New England IPA), "Alternate Continuum" (Barrel-Aged Saison), and "Hypernova" (Barleywine). I was very impressed with everything that I tried, especially the last two. Between an excellent roster of beers, a beautiful historic space, and some excellent company, I had a really enjoyable experience at Phantom Farms and I highly recommend them to any craft beer aficionados who are visiting the area!

There was a food truck set up which was great and plenty of options inside. The service was quick and we enjoyed the space overall! I was thrown off that this is not, in fact, located at the actual Phantom Farms, but that's totally on me! It was still a nice spot to stop into.

This place has been on my list for a long…read moretime and when I realized where it was I thought this would be great to check out after a busy afternoon of errands along Route 1. It's located right at the entrance of an industrial area. There is a very small lot for parking but it was completely full when we visited today, so we parked along the road where a number of other cars were also parked. This seemed to be okay and the signs just requested folks not park on the grass. The entrance is set back from the street so you kind of need to go around towards the back. We saw they had a food truck, Farm to Sandwich, which although kind of pricey, was super delicious. We both got the All American Smash burger with fries. Fries were so crisp and well crafted and the burger was amazing with a great sauce reminiscent of a Big Mac. For beers, since it was our first time here, we decided to try a bit of everything with flights. Their flights are $13 for 4, 5 oz pours. I chose the Coffee Milk Stout, You are Such an Ass, Bienvenu and Justin's Jangle. We started which the You are Such an Ass IPA, which was described as a light IPA but really didn't taste like an IPA at all. We honestly thought they had poured us the wrong beer. As IPA enthusiasts, this was disappointing. The Bienvenu, which is a Red Ale with Panela (unrefined Colombian sugar cane) was infinitely better. The Coffee Milk Stout, I understand is very popular, but I thought this was average. Justin's Jangle, a Maple Praline Porter was my favorite! Really nice, complex brew! We also really enjoyed the live music from Jake Frezza, a local musician out of North Providence. He sang and played guitar and covered a diverse sampling of songs including Brittney Spears (Toxic), James Taylor and Marvin Gaye. His version of "What's Going On" was particularly excellent. I normally dread listening to live performers at breweries but this guy is actually very talented! Kudos to Ravenous for engaging such a high quality musician! Also, for a Saturday, it was not overcrowded or over run with kids. There was just one family with a super quiet baby and we noted just one dog inside. On exiting, I saw they have a nice memorial where they offer to pour a beer to a fallen service member. Very nice! Gender neutral restrooms Pinball Separate rooms make it quieter than breweries in just one big industrial space. Friendly service at the bar and no lines! Bar stools with no back, kind of uncomfortable and there seemed to be no other seating options like chairs or sofas. In summary: Highlights: Bienvenu Red Ale Justin's Jangle Jake Frezza live music Nice memorial to fallen soldiers Low Lights: You are Such an Ass IPA Barstools/ seating Would definitely stop back here again when in the area!

It was exciting when they moved to the new location and have a big beautiful building now. It's a great place to hang out and is quite large so is perfect for events. They have had fundraisers and music there often. There is a nice outside area , perfect for the nice weather coming. They usually have a food truck or you can bring your own. The beers are always reliable. They have had the bievenuto red and coffee stout as long as I can remember. There is always a good amount of choices , if you don't enjoy those flavors as much as I do. It's a really great spot and a great place to visit. Cheers

I had a hard time choosing between the Pretty In Pink strawberry lager and the Apple Pie Seltzer, but the PIP was actually all out (so sad!!) so I went with the seltzer. It had a strong almost artificial scent, but a much more mild flavor. It wasn't too sweet and had notes of cinnamon - very unique and drinkable, although I don't think I'd need more than one. I was surprised and pleased to see they have a food menu. There's a pretty big parking lot but it's very uneven and filled with pot holes, and people park a little...erm...creatively - you've been warned. On weekends I've seen the main and overflow lot fill up, and I couldn't even find street parking, so had to go elsewhere - plan accordingly. The tap room is big and has nice bathrooms that are always clean. The main seating option are long picnic table benches - my back personally cannot do a backless seat for more than an hour without being in pain, so take that into consideration. It's also kind of awkward to swing your legs into the seat every time you have to get up, especially if it's full and you're in the middle. I'd love this place so much more if it just got normal tables and individual chairs with backs! My favorite thing about this brewery is that it is dog friendly and there are usually multiple gorgeous furry faces here to oggle over.

The place was packed, as a bingo event was currently going on. Despite the crowd, we managed to find a couple of seats in the bar area. The service, even amidst the hustle and bustle, was notably friendly and attentive. On the beer front, I highly recommend the Silenus (New England IPA), which was excellent and exactly what I look for in the style. As for the wood fired pizza, it was overall very tasty and absolutely worth recommending. My only minor note was that the bottom crust was slightly too charred, but this didn't detract significantly from the delicious flavor. If you're looking for friendly service, a great New England IPA, and a lively community environment, Angel Tree Brewery is a must-visit spot.

I really appreciate that they offer a variety of cider flavors to choose from so it makes it easy to find something I enjoy. They usually have different food trucks outside each week, which is fun if you're in the mood to try something new. There's also a small food menu inside, though it's a bit limited if you're just looking for snacks. The cashier who took our orders was friendly, the space was clean, and it wasn't too crowded, which made the experience even better. I'd definitely come back again!

The beer selection is quite vast…read more Whether you're looking for a staple like the Hi-Neighbor lager, a seasonal beer, or even one of their rotating hard juices, they have it! There's also a menu of snacks, flatbreads, and sandwiches if you're feeling hungry. All of the bartenders are always kind and willing to give recommendations or samples if you're unsure what to order. The vibes are also unmatched! Situated right on the water in Fox Point, you can grab a table with a view of the river, sit right at the bar, or find a spot near one of the TVs to catch a game. Pro tip: On the first Thursday of every month, they have a First Thursday punch card where you can collect stamps and save them up for prizes! Definitely recommend for a chill night out with some friends or your favorite person.

They do have a parking lot, which is awesome, but it fills up very fast and parking in the area can be tough once the lot is full. The service is always friendly and attentive, they have really helped me make selections when I wasn't sure what to order in terms of beer. They usually let you try something if you're not sure if you're going to like it before you order which I appreciate because I can be very picky. I typically get a flight when I'm there because I like to try the different beers and I really love their Pilsner probably most of all. They do a good job with IPAs and their pumpkin beer is good, not too sweet, which is what I prefer. I think they excel the most at German style beer. I appreciate that they typically have a variety of beer as well as hard seltzers and also wine so that I can bring most friends even if they don't like beer. They also sell craft soda for those who don't drink alcohol. So there's usually something for everyone. I can't really speak on the food because I don't typically order food when I'm there, but it always smells good. Additionally, they have been known to participate in fundraisers for nonprofits and that is always an A+ in my book.
