South Kingstown’s Sons of Liberty Beer & Spirits Co. celebrated its reopening with a party kicking off Memorial Day weekend on May 27. The craft distillery originally closed its doors due the COVID pandemic March of 2020 to produce hand sanitizer for the public and the state’s emergency services and remained closed while it increased production and revamped its tasting room and facility. The renovation added 6,000 square feet of space with two new bars, four televisions, a new lounge area and the conversion of an old loading dock into an open-air seating patio. Guests toured the new facility while enjoying live music by the Brian James Quartet and the BT Allstars. Partygoers sipped craft cocktails from Sons of Liberty’s new bar menu and enjoyed tastes of Sons of Liberty’s Chair 2 Light Beer, along with its latest product lines, Lani Sangria and Bar on Board low-ABV ready-to-drink cocktails. To eat, PVD Food Truck Events provided a variety of options to pair with beverage selections.
