    West Passage Brewing Co.

    North Kingstown, Rhode Island, United States

    West Passage Brewing company was born out of desire to share with the local community our enjoyment of the comfortable place to enjoy artisan brewed beer, great food and an environment that is welcoming to all. I started brewing some thirty years ago because of a real lack of diversity. While that has significantly changed today, there is still no comparison to locally crafted beer. Enjoy the beer, enjoy the food, enjoy your time with your friends and family, and remember enjoyment is about not taking things too seriously, we don't!
