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.
