Rhode Island's Newest Brewery Is A Beautiful Place To Spend An Afternoon
It isn’t easy to open a new business during a pandemic, and it’s also not always fun to open one during winter. But Moniker Brewery was a plan two years in the making, and so they managed to do both of those things successfully. Moniker just opened their doors in January — and even if you’re not typically a beer drinker, you just might become one when you spend some time here.

Moniker is co-owned by Bryan Benedict and Jeff Goodno, with Ben Estes serving as the head brewer.

After all, a great beer is only as good as the company with which you share it.

Ben Estes is a longtime professional who started home brewing while in graduate school at SUNY ESF in Syracuse. He formerly worked at Proclamation Ale Company in Warwick as a technical manager, but he's happiest when he's brewing beer.

The beer garden currently has a bit of a ski lounge vibe, but we can't wait to see what it's like in the summer.
