The Ocean State Waves Brew Tour, an annual brew fest and fundraiser celebrating local craft beer, fine wines and Rhode Island cuisine, returned to The Towers in Narragansett on Dec. 17. Guests enjoyed beverages from Whalers Brewing Company, Greenvale Vineyards, Grey Sail Brewing, Shaidzon Beer Company, Newport Craft Brewing + Distilling Co., Narragansett Brewery, Revival Brewing Co. and Foolproof Brewing Company, with food from Rhode Island eateries George’s of Galilee, Filippou’s Twisted Pizza, Arturo Joe’s, Breachway Grill, Vittoria’s NY Style Pizza, TwoTen Oyster Bar & Grill and PHIL’s Main Street Grille.
