    Tilted Barn is a farm brewery that opened in Exeter, RI in 2014. It was originally in an old barn but moved into a newly built New England style post and beam barn in 2020. The barn and overall location is gorgeous. There's a bar, tasting room, mezzanine, small shop, and brew house in the back. There were a good amount of parking when we got there. It was packed though so I'm not sure if there are any surplus parking elsewhere. We went in March so it was a little chilly. We explored the outside which had plenty of seating and I'm sure a lovely spot in the warmer months. The beers were very good. I'm a fan of sours and they had a few on tap. A food truck came by also. Overall, a great brewery and can't wait to go back.

    Bar and merch area.  Some inside seating inside and upstairs.

    First time here. I went there for a meet up with a group of people. The outdoor space was scenic and very relaxing. Live music on Sunday. Picturesque. Backdrop of a forest in the fall colors was just amazing. It is a self-service beer counter and bring your craft brews beer to the outside or sit inside the big barn. Very little in terms of food selection but can get some take out to bring with you for al fresco dining. We saw a food truck there for sandwiches and such. I am not sure if the food truck is there everyday or not.

    We were lucky to enjoy this brewery on a beautiful, sunny day so we got to enjoy the ample outdoor area. In addition to the great view outside, the interior of the brewery is quite a sight itself. The barn theme is evident throughout and the lighting from the skylights gives the inside a bright feeling. The beer was awesome with styles ranging from NZ Pilsners to barn lagers to juicy double IPAs. The bar tenders were attentive and the line for ordering was fast moving and organized. Would love to visit again!

    Happy hanging out with friends

    Delicious food. As someone that lives in Rhode Island I am always surprised when I find a place as delightful as Tilted Barn Brewery. Being able to sit outside and relax with a view of meadow and donkeys. The food from @duckpressri is a treat. Binge BBQ is delicious we got our meal right away. Great service.

    It's the perfect family-friendly spot where you can enjoy incredible craft beers and get up close with adorable donkeys. Sipping on delicious brews while surrounded by these friendly animals made for an unforgettable experience.

    Been going to the barn since around 2015 where you'd anxiously await the week's latest drop and happily wait in line to get your allotment. They've come a long way from those days and not always for the better. The newer taproom is well designed and amalgamates modern building with old school barn charm. They have many available draft beers inside and even an outdoor rail with about 6 taps. I went there recently to try a specific wet-hopped beer (it is harvest season after all) and tried to get it at the outdoor pour station but alas it was only available inside. Once inside an obnoxiously loud beer tender was yelling about how there is "no line outside" and that they have "everything out there that they have in here." He seemed pretty mad when nobody left the line to go outside and I was a little put off since I knew that they definitely did NOT have everything available outside. It was fairly busy as it was a really nice day so I grabbed a couple pours and headed upstairs since it was the only area with seats available. I grabbed the last table and when my son asked me for the wifi password I couldn't find it on the tap list menus at each table but remembered it was written downstairs on the draft board. I sent my well behaved, seasoned brewery veteran son downstairs to get the password. While in my line of sight the entire time, not running or disturbing anyone he was harshly spoken to by a staff member since he was unaccompanied. Little did they know I was watching it all go down. This is not the first time I have had staff speak abrasively to me or my family but it will definitely be the last. I was once yelled at for taking pics of the bright tanks/brewing area because I wasn't "seated" up in the balcony. The beers are ok, 90% hazy brews. I can see why as most of their farmhouses, lagers, stouts, sours aren't that good. They do brew a decent DDH DIPA, but it's pretty much available at most RI stores now. The scenery is excellent, complete with hop vines and farm animals. Unfortunately, the vibe is just off. These places are usually casual and laid back but this one is controlling and semi-hostile at times. I can only imagine the ignorant people and attitudes that the staff have to deal with each day to make them so angry about me taking pics or my son entering a password into a phone without having a parent hold his hand. They should probably take an extra 30 seconds to assess each individual before assuming we are ALL like those ignorant types.

    Gulp-this was my first time here! I know, I know. Have had their beers in the past and follow them on social media. Came today to grab the seasonal "Jack" beer-only brewed with sugar pumpkins-no spices. Lots of parking, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Will be returning soon! Follow their page so you know what amazing food truck will be on the premises!!

    Good beer and solid outdoor ambiance. Lots of New England IPAs on tap. Not a lot of options for non-IPA drinkers. Overall great place for a beer and a quick bite from the frequent food truck in their back parking lot.

    Tilted Barn Brewery is a craft farmhouse brewery that opened in Exeter, Rhode Island in November 2014. It was founded by husband and wife Matt & Kara Richardson. The farm on which the brewery sits was originally owned by Kara's grandparents. Purchased in the 1950s, farming was never intended to be her family's primary source of income but rather a hobby. Throughout the years, the family ran a metal and woodworking shop and also raised animals and grew and sold Christmas trees. Fast forward to 2007, Matt and Joel Littlefield (Kara's brother) established 'Ocean State Hops' on the farm. They were the state's first commercial hop farm and supplied other breweries and homebrewers with their hops. Eventually the Richardsons had the idea to open their own brewery on the farm. They purchased the property from Kara's grandparents and converted the century old 'tilted barn' and attached horse stables into their production area and taproom. Not only were they Rhode Island's first farmhouse brewery, but they also opened when the state's craft beer scene was very small. The brewery was so successful that it quickly outgrew its location. A brand new 8,400-square-foot barn was built and opened on the property in November 2020. I recently visited Tilted Barn Brewery while I was cycling some of the excellent bike trails in the Providence area. I had explored Rhode Island's craft beer scene as early as 2014, but was never terribly impressed. Recently I heard that their scene had improved immensely and one name that kept coming up was "Tilted Barn". After visiting Long Live Beerworks in Providence (which I was very impressed with), I stopped at Tilted Barn on my way home. The grounds were just gorgeous! Not only was the barn very impressive with plenty of seating and a 1,800-square-foot mezzanine, but there was also plenty of outdoor patio seating with an outdoor bar and fire pits. Although the brewery doesn't offer traditional beer flights, they do offer short pours. The draught menu featured a variety of styles but many of them were my favorite: hazy New England-style IPAs! I sampled short pours of "Cactus", "The Other One", "The Chosen One" and "Maho Bay". Every single beer was superb! Along with Long Live Beerworks, Tilted Barn has shown me that Rhode Island's craft beer scene is turning into a craft beer paradise! I can't wait to make a return visit!

    The cool building.

    Alright, man, listen up! So we roll up to this joint after a super late lunch, 'cause according to UnTappd, they were supposed to open at noon. But guess what? The hours listed were all wrong, man! We get there around 3:15pm, but turns out they don't open until 4pm. Bummer, dude! So we're just hangin' around, waitin' like forever, man, but finally, they swing those doors open. And let me tell ya, the atmosphere is outta sight! It's like a huge barn-lookin' building with some nice, cool air conditioning inside. On the outside, they got tables with umbrellas and these chill Adirondack chairs everywhere. And get this, dude, it overlooks a meadow where all these vendors are set up for the weekly farmers market. There's even a BBQ and a chowder food truck, but I didn't get to try 'em out, man. Now, the staff, they're super nice and friendly. They're like the cool cats of the joint, spreadin' good vibes all around. So here's the beer situation, man. If you're gettin' your brews at the outside bar, they come in 16oz glasses, and they only have certain ones available. But if you head inside, they got a larger selection at the inside bar, and they serve 'em up in 6oz, 10oz, and 16oz glasses. So, you can totally go for smaller beers if you wanna try a bunch of 'em, you know? Like a brew-sampling adventure! And let's talk about the beers themselves, man. They range from very good to excellent. These guys really know their game! It's like they're playin' the beer symphony, hittin' all the right notes. I wish this joint was closer to home, seriously. I'd be there all the time, like a bee to honey! So, if you're lookin' for an awesome spot with killer vibes, great brews, and a cool farmers market scene, this place is callin' your name, my friend. Just make sure to double-check those opening hours, 'cause you don't wanna be left hangin' like we were. It's all about good times and great beers, man!

Look for a small peaked roof entrance. If you enter this way, you will walk down a long hallway to the brewery entrance. Public restrooms are off this hallway. They are very clean. There are two rooms inside. A bar is located in the first room. Both rooms have a TV and seating. If you choose to drive around the end of the building, park by the beer garden entrance. There are porta johns located here (no smell, but I didn't check them out) for guest use if you choose not to go inside. A band sets up at this end of the garden, the bar is at the opposite end. Follow the business SM page for info on bands and food truck info. The beer garden is covered by sun sails, has some Adirondack seats, fire pits, heaters, picnic tables and a TV. Plus a small flower garden area running along the fence. Train tracks run just beyond the fence. At the time of our visit there were about nine beers on tap, plus a couple of canned/bottled libations. Prices are a bit higher than your local watering hole, but this is local craft brew and the beers are well crafted. They offer a few snacks, and the occassional on-site food truck, but no food service. This is a nice, chill spot to meet up. Call for info on watching your team.

Its in a nice little spot, there was plenty of parking and the space is clearly new which you notice in a nice clean newly paved parking lot. I like when I walked in- there is a small entry - you're not thrown into a big space. I wasn't expecting table service at a brewery - even with a full menu - that was a nice surprise. Our server did have a slight lag where we were thinking wheeerrrrrre did he go? But the rest of the night he was on top of things. I ordered poutine and a couple of beers. The poutine was good - I like shoestring fries. But I have one beloved former RI restaurants poutine taking up too big a space in my heart still, and this didn't quite hit that. But it was a good snack. Great serving size. We sat in a small alcove with like 4 - 4 top tables. I dig the decorations. Christmas lights are festive and fun.

If I went back, I'd probably ask to sit somewhere else or just grab a seat at the bar. The beer was decent, with about 8-10 varieties on tap. You can tell this is a local favorite. What a great place to meet up and connect with friends! Definitely worth checking out.
