Is there natural gas in the road in front of your home? How far is your home from the street? These are important questions that need to be known before you can get an answer.

Less important but also needed for pricing: Do you presently have forced warm air, hot water baseboard, or steam heat?

You call it differentiation.

I call it needlessly painting yourself into a corner.

The best way of standing out is making good beer. Given the number of breweries in this state, there are only a few making beer that's better than "fine".

Seems to me a ppp investigation could unlock a lot.

if you go all the way to the end, where the huge rocks are that you can see from Narragansett Beach its dope, I walked out there with my dog, once, I say once because to get there I crossed the do not enter sign, and on my way back out going past the military thing, all the dudes were doin drills right up near the fence. I almost feel they were there just to intimidate me as I walked through. Anyways if you go out there to the huge rocks, theres this weird stone bench right on top, on the bench(if Im rembering correctly its been a while) the word Friendship is chisled into the bench, only thing is, this is weird, the bench is cracked down the middle, splitting the word friendship in two

I wish it was less of a secret! I also wish it ran more frequently than every two hours.

Yes, but the beer market, including craft, is so saturated with more and more of the same that you'd best be looking for a way to differentiate yourself or you'll just get lost in the shuffle.

English beer styles are oddly underrepresented and differentiating yourself that way when it's genuinely what you know and understand in terms of brewing makes perfect sense.

Also, they could make an IPA you know. A real one ;)

Love advice like this. It's like RI inside baseball.

It's part of the Cumberland land trust. Trails go all over the north end of the town. There's train heads in a bunch of spots, in the dollar store lot off Mendon Rd, by the swamp on Nate Whipple, off west wrentham Rd by the power lines. Nice hikes.

Ok well keep bitching about native birds that don't bother your fish then 🤷

RIPTA route 14 serves Narragansett Town Beach every 2 hours. (The schedule may change before the summer season.) Bus fare is cheaper than parking and you don’t have to drive.

I don’t know if it’s an official rookery but I see them all the time on the Barrington/Riverside line. There’s a parking spot for birdwatching on 114 in Barrington where you could park to see them. It’s 5 minutes from the EP/Seekonk Home Depot spot another poster mentioned. There’s actually two birdwatching spots right there, one in Barrington and another a little closer to the radio station

I was there last week actually, and I saw Dels at the Red Sox spring training game, I was surprised to see it!

Last season I believe it was $10/person and $20 for parking. They charge for both from ~9-~5. You can park for free along the seawall, but you'll have to get lucky/early. I'm not sure about season passes for non-residents though. In season is Memorial Day - Labor Day. Both the lot and the beach are free outside that time.

Edit to add: Town Council was/is discussing raising those fees even higher or expanding the window which the beach is charging. There was one fight on the beach last year, which led to all sorts of consternation from the septuagenarians that populate Nextdoor/speak at Town Council meetings that the beach was too accessible to out of towners. I don't know what came of that.

That’s helpful, thank you!

This seems like a question to ask the Town. Just looking on Google Maps, it looks like an old right of way, where Quaker Rd would’ve run through all the way to Rt. 120. This might still be a paper street, where the Town stills own the property, but the road just no longer exists. Residents may or may not be aware of it (which could lead to disputes). Alternatively, residents may have petitioned the Town to abandon it, and then it would all be private property. But if it’s cut and maintained along the route, then that makes me more inclined to believe it’s still the Town’s property, that’s who I would ask.

My koi are at least 20 years old and very happy in my memorial garden and well protected.

"Most English-style breweries"? How many breweries are there in the US that specialize in English-style beers?

I like an ESB on occasion. Shit, one of the best beer experiences I had in recent memory was drinking a Welly on site at Fox Farm.

But let's be honest - the average American beer drinker couldn't give 2 shits about cask ale. The lack of pub beers isn't a supply-side issue. The demand is not there, so breweries follow the consumers' taste, and make what sells - IPAs.

Totally agree. You make what the market demands. If they can stand on their own without a hazy IPA, good for them. I know Purgatory broke down and tried to brew one, outside their wheelhouse and it wasn't great, but there must have been demand. There's a reason why most of the locals have multiple IPA and PA variants, which tend to just be light IPAs. They're popular and people are willing to spend money on them.

This request was quite specific. I’m wondering why you’re interested?

See them all the time on the Blackstone Valley Bike Path. Saw one yesterday in Lincoln between Martin Street and 123 along the riverside. It was a weird spot because usually I see them at the Albion falls

Thank you very much!

It's a great place to escape the summertime crowds too. Such a nice walk through the woods to get there.

Good luck to them but focusing on perhaps the least popular range of beer styles is going to be an uphill battle

It'll be a Bring Your Own Food establishment

English style beers are so unrepresented. And Pizza Fair a half mile away has a pretty good fish and chips.
