    Origin Beer Project is a craft brewery that opened in Cranston, Rhode Island in October 2020. It was founded by husband and wife Cheyne and Erika Tessier. Cheyne previously worked as a brewer for Cape Cod Beer and then Proclamation Ale Company before he accepted the position of head brewer at Buttonwoods Brewery. After a few years, Cheyne and Erika became interested in opening their own brewery. Unfortunately their timing was terrible; the pandemic had started and several deals to secure a location fell through. Finally they came up with the idea to open as an Alternating Proprietorship Brewery (or "alt-prop", tenant, or partner brewery). This means that there is an agreement between a host brewery and another brewery which can use their space and equipment when the host brewery isn't in operation. The Tessiers approached Buttonwoods' father and son co-owners Morgan Snyder Sr and Jr with the idea and the two accepted the proposal. In spite of the unusual business setup, Origin Beer Project quickly found success with their excellent repertoire of beers. Plans are currently underway for the brewery to open at its own location in Providence before the year's end. My son and I recently visited Origin Beer Project after we went on a long bike ride on the nearby Washington Secondary Bike Path. I decided to look and see if there was a good brewery nearby for lunch, and Buttonwoods came highly recommended. Origin has their own small space set up inside Buttonwoods' "Annex". One thing worth noting is that although they share the same location, Origin and Buttonwoods operate on two different schedules. On the day of my visit, I showed up to Buttonwoods taproom not long after they opened at Noon. Cheyne didn't arrive to start pouring Origin beers until 3PM, so make sure to check their hours before you go. I decided to order short pours of "Relentless Romanticism" (Citra Pale Ale) and "So Anyway" (Imperial Stout conditioned on Tonka Beans - a collaboration with Hive Beer). The pale ale was refreshing with excellent floral notes and the stout had a strong nutty flavor. I was very impressed with Origin's offerings and I expect great things from them in the future. I look forward to when they move to their own space!

I do wish there were some lower chairs instead of all tall stools or the back nook - yaknow, for us short / awkward people. The outdoor areas out front or in back are dreamy in the warm weather, when they also open the garage door and let the warm air flow through (I once got pretty bit up in the back area outside though, so pro tip: wear pants or bug spray). Dogs are welcome here and I love to see the furry cuties visit. They offer multiple types of dog treats for four legged customers, which is such a thoughtful touch! The beer is focused on authentic, European lager / pilsner styles and doesn't switch up very often. Their beers are not very sweet, but they usually offer multiple types of pilsners and lagers at any given moment. The styles they specialize in are not my most favorite, which is my only reason for removing a star, but take a look at the menu - if those styles are your jam, they seem to be pretty authentic and you will probably love them. I usually go for the Pink Lemonade Seltzer and it's great and very fizzy. I went today as part of The Big Lebrewsky and they offered a "tasting," which to my delight consisted of a flight of 3 - very generous! I got the Coffee Stout (very strong), Irish Red (smoother and I enjoyed more than I thought- a solid choice!), and the Czech Pilsner (very light and goes down smoothly/easily). I loved this opportunity to branch out to some styles I don't always go for when I'm here. Special shout out to mascot Stella who always makes my day when she makes an appearance. It's usually easy to find street parking here, although the street has a decent amount of potholes, so keep an open eye lol. A cozy, fun place in a relaxed part of Providence just off the highway that's easy to access - great for an afternoon weekend or casual date night.

    Decided to try this place and it wasn't too bad! The food was good for some and lacked for others…read more My grandma and sister had the French toast. They said it was good and fluffy. My sister asked for more syrup and they actually charged us $1 for the ramekin of syrup! Never been to a place that charged for more syrup! We weren't even told that it would be an extra cost. For service, the customers need to be awared. My grandma asked for soft scrabble eggs, which was cooked perfectly to her liking. I had the Nashville hot chicken and waffles with fries. The waffles was cooked a bit too long. The chicken was very juicy but was not hot at all. For Nashville hot, I expected a lot more and I was very disappointed. On the menu, it said drizzled with syrup but there wasn't really any syrup at all. If it was for the chicken being juicy, that sandwhich would of been so dry!!! Yet the fries were good! Service could of been better. Our waitress was nice but barely checked on us. When asking for syrup the first time with another waitress, she said ok but went straight to her table that was near us to take orders. So waited another 5 or so minutes until a lady (who seemed like a manager) came by and we asked again.

I appreciated the cool & unique history of the building while enjoying one of their many own brews.

    The Malted Barley is a craft gastropub that opened in Westerly, Rhode Island in May 2011. It was…read morefounded by husband and wife Colin and Stephanie Bennett. The two met when they both worked at a brewery in Honolulu. Once returning to Rhode Island, the couple decided to open their own gastropub in Stephanie's hometown of Westerly. Dubbed "The Malted Barley", the business focused on craft beer paired with gourmet pretzel sandwiches. The pretzel dough is made fresh daily, and every pretzel is rolled and stuffed by hand. After much success, the Bennetts looked to franchise their business model. After signing a licensing agreement with investor Ron Koller, a second Malted Barley opened in Providence in March 2016. In March 2023, the Bennetts closed the original Malted Barley in Westerly so that they could focus on their flower farm, Echo Rock Flowers, as well as their family. The Malted Barley in Providence continues to run under the ownership of Ron Koller. I visited the original Westerly location of the Malted Barley in 2014 while I was on a craft beer bus tour. I was so impressed with their excellent craft beer selection and delicious gourmet pretzels that I decided to make the gastropub a stop on my craft beer bachelor party bus tour three years later. I was very sad when I heard that the original location closed down, but I took comfort in knowing that a second location still existed in Providence. I recently visited the Providence location for lunch while I was passing through the area. When I walked in, I immediately smelled the freshly baked pretzels. For food, I ordered the "Barley Bacon Beast Burger" (75 % beef 25 % bacon patty, pepperjack cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, more bacon w/ a side of ketchup) on an Everything Pretzel. It really hit the spot. I must add that these pretzels are essentially a hybrid between traditional Bavarian pretzels and New York-style bagels: salty and crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. While looking over the beer menu, I was surprised to see that the Malted Barley now brews their own house beer in addition to guest taps. I ordered a taster flight that featured Malted Barley's "Banana Bread" (Traditional Ale) and "Monster Juice" (Hazy IPA), as well as Long Live Beerworks' "Invisible IPA" (hazy IPA) and Phantom Farms Brewing's "Coarse Woody Debris" (Saison). All of the beers were very refreshing and paired nicely with my pretzel sandwich. I still miss the original Westerly location, but it's nice to know that you can still find delicious pretzels sandwiches paired with craft beer just a little further away.

I sat at the bar and the server came by pretty quick to take my order. I ordered a grilled cheese with a bag of mango habanero chips. These are my all time favorite chips and I've actually never seen them anywhere but Homegoods - yes, I said Homegoods. Anyways, I wish I was able to chill a bit and have a drink cause their tap list was on point. Check out my pic. The grilled cheese was super delicious. What a great idea to use pretzels as the vessel for all sandwiches. I told my hubby next time we're in the area, we're def stopping by for another pretzel sammy and a beer... or two.
