The Mass, NY, CA crowd you refer to is more than fine going less than a mile to a new place, the distance between Rolfe square and Buttonwoods is negligible to everyone not from RI

They were fed up with lack of flavor, but craft beer is and has been less than 20% of the market. People still just want Budweiser or other macro lagers. IPA has dominated the market for over 30 years. I'm not saying diversity isn't great, but the average consumer won't order something they're unfamiliar with, it's just basic sociology.

Yeah, not sure how often they'll have but I know they had one recently

I've worked in craft beer for over a decade, consumers don't actually like the option of choice. Humans are creatures of habit, we'll try new things but stick to what we know is safe and we'll like.

There's literally a brewery within walking distance of Rolfe square currently, it hasn't changed shit. Don't be an asshat

Buttonwood have had a few casks lately and Origin does low abv stuff....

There's literally a brewery within sight of pizza fair making English beer currently, Buttonwoods

Unfortunately that's not how it works, having something different gets you lost in the shuffle for some reason

Considering Night Shift fired all of their employees only a few months ago and now only contract brew, I feel pretty confident in my assumption

It's confusing, it says it's separate but then it also references the Mass set up where it's actually just a partnership and Level 99 is the sole business

Feels like a misleading title, a Level 99 is opening in Providence Place that happens to have ties to Night Shift

Oak Bake Shop (owners of PVDonuts new space) and Whisk me away just opened spots in Providence. I think I saw the whisk menu is up and I'm assuming oak will have one of they haven't already
