A long-awaited return to the Trinity Brewhouse, Providence, RI


My better half and I had a nice night out in Downcity Providence last Saturday night.  We started with dinner at Bravo Brasserie, which was very enjoyable.  It has a nice atmosphere, a very varied menu (French-inspired American cuisine), and very reasonable prices.

It was still early, so we ducked into the Trinity Brewhouse.  It had been a couple of years since our last visit.  We both had the RI IPA.  This beer has an excellent aroma, and is very full-bodied for an IPA.  It has above average bitterness and hoppiness, and slightly below average sweetness.  I enjoyed it a lot.  Oh, and we got to see the the Bruins dramatic, double-overtime win over Les Habs.  Sweet!

On a related note, we recently tried one of Trinity's bottled offerings, Trinity IPA.  This too is a very pleasing local brew.  I'll post a more complete review when I get a chance, but I definitely recommend giving it a try.

Trinity is a bona fide local gem.  Check them out.
