    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!

    This is such a great spot for an after-work beer with friends! It's dog friendly, very open, with…read morelots of seating. They even have fire pits which come in handy when it's cold. Their selection is great and the staff is very nice and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you haven't! However, it can get veryyyy busy on a nice day :)

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.

    Union Station Brewery is your standard brew pub. Conveniently located in downtown near the current…read moretrain station it is highly walkable. I appreciated the cool & unique history of the building while enjoying one of their many own brews. I did not find a food item or beer that really stood out to me but I look forward to returning & trying some other options to one day find a favorite.
