Two tastings!
Kristen W.

What a great find, tucked away! We had been recommended this brewery several times from other brewery owners and love that we finally did. We got the chance with the Big Lebrewski tickets from RI Food Fights. The bartender was so friendly and gave delicious recommendations. The place cute and comfortable inside, lots of games, lots of people enjoying themselves in small groups. We will 100% be back!

Vacation afternoon

Went here for the first time. It's a hidden little gem. It's very cozy inside. They have a shelf that has lots of games. They don't sell food so you can bring your own. They do sell flavored popcorn. Sarah was working the shift we showed up for. She is very knowledgeable about the beers on tap. She ask questions so she help you make the right choices. She did not steer us wrong and we even tried one out of our comfort zone. They have a refrigerator so you can take some home if you wish. They also have a nice covered patio area outside. It was too chilly the day we went but can't wait to come another day to sit outside and relax.

Beer flight!

Excellent selection of craft brews! Highly recommend. My favorite is the Carmel Delight Stout, delicious!

Inside the taproom

Lops Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in Woonsocket, Rhode Island in July 2019. It was founded by owner and brewer Sean "Lops" Lopolito. Lopolito had a long career as a business consultant before deciding to reinvent himself as a craft brewer; he had home-brewed for many years. Alec Santos, a graduate of the Johnson & Wales University brewing program, is the brewery's assistant brewer. "Beer quality, style rotation and providing a clean and comfortable atmosphere for all of our customers are still the key drivers in staying competitive," says Lopolito. I visited Lops Brewing for the first time this past Saturday. I was visiting Rhode Island for the day because I wanted to cycle the Blackstone River Greenway which currently stretches from Providence to Woonsocket. I had a lovely 20-mile ride and the brewery was just a short distance from the end of the trail. I arrived just after they opened for the day. The brewery is small but cozy. The taproom has a nice 'Industrial chic' look to it, and there's an outdoor patio area in the back. Most of the beers available on tap that day were IPAs, which was just fine with me. I ordered a taster flight consisting of "Block Island" (a session IPA), "Watch Hill" (a New England IPA), "Sunrise Mimosa" (a New England IPA), and "Breakers" (a Double IPA). Everything was refreshing and delicious, but "Sunrise Mimosa" was my favorite. I also ordered a full pour of their "Lemonade Shandy", which is a fantastic beer to have after a long bike ride. Before leaving, I ordered a six-pack of the shandy and a growler of "Sunrise Mimosa" to go. I packed everything in my saddlebag, hopped back onto my bike, and headed on the trail towards Providence. I enjoyed my trip to Lops Brewing and would definitely visit if I'm in the area again.

Espresso peanut butter and dragonfruit pomegranate cask ale. Both AMAZING!! Our go to brewery when in RI.

Jumbo Flight
Rebecca M.

Lops is a fantastic addition to downtown Woonsocket! It's got the aesthetic trappings of a great brewery, exposed brick, shiny new floors, and an array of different seating nooks. One of the things that sets Lops apart is that they have two different flight sizes. You can do a standard flight or you can do a jumbo flight. The difference is that the jumbo gets you 4 larger glasses for your flight. My jumbo flight only came to $13 which was a steal! A huge thanks to the bartender for taking the time to explain our options to us. In terms of beer quality, the ales I enjoyed the most were the winter ale and the hard cider. The Watch Hill IPA is branded as a New England IPA so I tried that because I'm fine with a juicier, smoother IPA, but it didn't look or taste like a NE IPA. If you like hops you'll be fine with this one, but I'm not sure if it's truly to a NE IPA style. In any case, if you're looking for something new to try in Woonsocket, Lops is a gem in the neighborhood, and I hope it inspires more businesses to come breathe more life into the area. Lops is leading the way!

Pumpkin Spice Ale & Apple Blossom Trail Cider
Brittany B.

Such a hidden gem in Woonsocket!! My husband and I stopped by on a Friday night and grabbed a table to enjoy some beverages. My husband tried two NEIPA's (Newport & Watch Hill) and the Pumpkin Spice Ale - with the sugared rim, of course! I had the Apple Blossom Trail Cider - so good! They also have soft drinks and snacks available, sometimes have food trucks scheduled. Love the atmosphere, love the staff... We'll be back for sure!!

Great spot. Awesome service, stouts and IPAs are on point. Plenty of space and rarely see kids which is refreshing for a brewery.

Nice little brewery. They had a nice variety which included IPAs, ales and seltzers. We tried a few and enjoyed them.

This place is roomier than it looks from outside - and I can't wait to go back and see the patio…read moreI've been told about. As I'm writing this I'm regretting not playing one of the arcade games they have. The service was friendly, quick. Beers were delicious. It wasn't my favorite Pilsner but the IPA I got was spot on, should have stuck to it. Nice little Sunday afternoon. Oh, and there was a food truck - I didn't eat but my friends got some snacks. Snacks are always good.

Chill brewery under 10 minutes from Emerald Square Mall. 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!

Sitting outside with a beautiful view of the lake made the experience even more enjoyable. I'm not typically a beer drinker, but I loved that they offered a variety of options, including ciders and cocktails. Unlike many breweries in Rhode Island, this spot also has a kitchen menu, which was a huge plus. Our server was friendly and attentive, and we received our drinks quickly. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely return again when the weather is nicer to enjoy the outdoor seating.

LOCATION…read more The brewery sits right along the river, which makes for a great setting to sit back and enjoy a few beers. Especially on a nice day. It's definitely one of the better brewery locations in the area. Now let's talk about the beer. Is it good? Yes. Is it great? Not really. I've had several of their beers and while they're all pretty solid, nothing has really blown me away. My favorite is the Juggernaut Double NEIPA. That's my GO TO when I'm here and probably the beer I'd recommend trying first. Overall, Apponaug is worth checking out. The beers are decent, but the location is what really makes this place stand out. Would I go out of my way just for the beer? Probably not. Would I come back to have a few beers along the river on a nice afternoon? Absolutely.

Been here several times over the course of 2020 for curbside pick-up. Due to the pandemic, I've…read morenever had the pleasure of being inside the tap room, but I've heard amazing things about it & look forward to being able to try it in the (hopefully near) future. They have a really great variety of beer throughout the year, from sours to stouts, & I get a real chuckle out of their label designs & beer names. They have some pretty awesome seasonal stuff too; this year, I was psyched about their fall beer (Gourds Gone Wild) & their holiday cranberry beer (Hipster Santa). Their summer sours were pretty epic too. And, l've loved their collaborations with Borealis Coffee Company. They also have a decent size IPA selection for those who love them; I recommend the Chubby Unicorn...so good! Beer is sold in cans here. Their website is super easy to use & gives great descriptions of what they have available. If you sign up for their emails, you'll get a heads up on new flavors...or returns of your favorites. Definitely worth checking out if you're a craft beer lover. Can't wait to see what they create in 2021!

I know they're closed but I'm writing a review anyways :(…read more I was really sad to hear that Smug was going out of business. It's in a big warehouse space that connects to some other businesses, and they'd been hosting some cool events and beer launch parties towards the end. The space was a little weirdly shaped, but there was usually always someplace to sit. The beers came in a wide variety. The Hawaiian Punch bright red sour they usually had was my favorite- so sweet and nostalgic - but they made other great sours. I tried a non alcoholic beer the last time I went that I really loved, I wish I could remember the name. The parking was the worst part - I could never find a space nearby and often had to walk a street or two over, which wasn't ideal for this area at night imo. Whenever they had a food truck, it would take up part of one of the narrow side streets, as well as half the sidewalk since they would park up on it, which looked bizarre and made it hard to pass both as a pedestrian and driver lol. Service was a little slow, but bartenders tended to make good conversation with everyone, so that's a decent excuse. I'll really miss it!

Very cool spot, loved the open atmosphere, beautiful light shining in and the family style tables…read more Another yelp review encouraged us to order pizza first then beer as the wait is sometimes lengthy on the pizza. But dang the pizza was worth the wait. Delicious crust, sauce and the perfect amount of crispy pepperoni. We will definetly be coming back some time. Tons of beer options, and mixed drinks as well along with non alcoholic options. Perfect spot for an afternoon hang out.

Sometimes people recommend spots that just don't hit right with you because it isn't your thing…read more That's OK, let others enjoy themselves, but that shouldn't stop you from trying other things at the location. Such is the case with Tree House Brewing Company started in Brimfield, MA and moved to Charlton, MA. Their legend is built of the juicy New England India Pale Ales (NEIPAs) like Julius, Green, and Haze. People had me try the cans of these before and not surprising to me, I didn't like them. That didn't stop me from going to the newer Tewksbury location to try it out. This is the old clubhouse at the Tewksbury Country Club, which is outright beautiful with wood paneling and designs everywhere. Its massive halls are filled with golfer bros, work outings, and generations of families. My measuring stick at a new brew spot is to try at least four beers I like. With Tree House's massive selection of flavors including sours, ales, pilsner, stouts, seltzers, and distilled spirits, it was not hard to find. Even though the servers looked at me strangely when I removed the entire IPA page from my line of vision, they did help me find the less hop-forward beers. Here are the beers I had: *** Human Condition Nitro Stout *** Easy Does It Pilsner **** Enduring Relief Rye Beer **** Catharsis Porter *** Mom's Ray of Sunshine Extra Strawberry Peanut Stout . Julius (with Peach & Guava) What I really came here to try was the *** Pepperoni Pizza (7.3) Order this thing BEFORE any beer, it takes them quite a while to make. A lot of pictures from several sources made it look like my style, and it is that thin crust with little flop and enough flavor in the toppings and sauce to carry the bread. The toppings were good, the sauce was tasty, BUT the crust of the pizza disappointed me this time. Once you've invested in the pizza, it started to taste like great toppings on cardboard - no other way to describe it. The first pieces when hot were pretty good, but as it cooled it got harder and harder to eat. The score might have been high 8's or low 9's if the crust didn't bother me so much. Overall, it's a beautiful spot in the middle of Tewksbury and the brewery is legendary for a reason. It truly caters to the beer officianados and world travelers, after white collar work crowd, and the golfing buddies. It is limited in its offerings and I'm used to breweries offering many more food options, so like I said, it's not for me. Be well, eat well, and thank a farmer.
