It is a dubious distinction that RI makes the list because of 'gansett, which isn't actually brewed in state. Hopefully they will finally get their brewery up and running in Pawtucket soon (cue Family Guy jokes).
I used to deep see fish out of Westerly every year. We used to go to CC O'Brien's in Pawcatuck for dinner and beers.
Ha! I grew up in Westerly.
CC O'Brien's actually used to be my cousin's bar. My Grandfather's brother Al Antoch owned a tiny bar called Al's Cafe up the street for decades. Around the time Uncle Al died, my cousins moved it to the CC O'Brien's building back around 1980. I don't know exactly when they sold it, though, it's been at least 25 years since that happened. That brings back a lot of memories.
