Origin Beverage, a division of Horizon Beverage Company of Rhode Island, hosted a large craft spirits tasting at the Providence Crowne Plaza on September 8, 2014. A number of local distillers, as well as craft spirits suppliers from around the United States showcased for beverage trade guests. Origin Beverage features spirit products that would “otherwise go under the radar for both on- and off-premise purchasers and others in the beverage industry,” said Gabriel Rodriguez, Artisanal Spirit Consultant for Origin Beverage/Horizon Beverage.
