McLaughlin & Moran, Inc., launched local craft brews from Union Station Brewery. Located in the heart of downtown Providence in the former Union railroad station’s historic building, Union Station Brewery (USB) offers classic American tavern food made from the freshest ingredients, a diverse and rotating selection of craft beers that are brewed on-site and a growing line of canned beers, as well as a full bar. Its 4-packs are now in statewide distribution for retail sales and bars across Rhode Island. Since 1993, USB has brewed and served its handcrafted beer, and in 2019, a few local restaurateurs and bar proprietors purchased USB, transitioning it from a corporate entity to a true Rhode Island brewpub with a neighborhood feel in the heart of Providence. Offerings include Cranston Thug Life, 6.7% ABV, a New England IPA with flavors of white grape, mango and pineapple; Friartown IPA, 6.6% ABV, an old-school West Coast IPA brimming with American hops for that classic citrus, piney, herbal character; Nautical By Nature, a 5.2% ABV NE hazy pale ale with Citra Cryo; and 5 Minute Major Golden Ale, a 5% ABV special limited release for the Providence Bruins season.
