    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!

    Moniker Brewery is a craft brewery that opened in Providence, Rhode Island in January 2021. It was…read morefounded by business partners Bryan Benedict, Jeff Goodno, Ben Estes, Ted Pease and Jean Lombard. Benedict left a career in IT in order to turn his craft beer hobby into a full time job. He worked as a sales rep and brand manager for a wholesaler before becoming the director of marketing and sales at Connecticut-based Beer'd Brewing Company. He dreamed of opening his own brewery, so he partnered with Goodno, who had 15+ years of experience working for breweries such as Taproot, Victory Brewing, and SOME Brewing. Estes, who had formerly worked at Proclamation Ale Company and the Guild, was hired as the head brewer. Pease and Lombard, who had experience with tax laws and other skills, were the last partners to come on board. They set up shop in a former auto body. Benedict chose the name "Moniker" to strip away the focus on brand egos and instead focus entirely on the taproom experience, the community, and the beer. The brewery became notable for their wide repertoire of beer styles, even earning praise from Hop Culture Magazine. In May 2026, Moniker purchased Ravenous Brewing in Cumberland with plans to rebrand it as "Moniker North". I recently visited Moniker Brewery while I was passing through Providence. They had been on my list for a while. The place was small and cozy but inviting with a decent amount of indoor seating. There is also patio seating outside, but it was a little too wet and chilly on the day of my visit. I pulled up a seat at the bar and looked over the draught menu. There was a nice eclectic mix of styles. I ordered a sampler flight which included "L.H. Czech Dark" (Tmavé), "Midnight Rodeo" (Dark Mexican Lager), "Blinded by Nostalgia" (IPA), "Stay Cool Drink Moniker" (Hazy Pale Ale), and "It's Called Sightseeing" (Bourbon Barrel-Aged Tripel). The latter was my favorite! Between the eclectic mix of styles and the friendly space, I really enjoyed my visit to Moniker. I look forward to when they open their new larger space.

    Chill vibe and a lot more seating than I expected. Their stout was killer! It was the West End…read moreReserve which was 11% abv and very smooth ($11 for 12oz). My mom got a 5oz pour of their Midnight Rodeo dark Mexican lager. It was really tasty and reminded me of a much better Dos Equis Amber ($3.50)
