Rhode Island Spirits is the home of Rhodium brand premium gins, vodkas, and liqueurs; offering creative flavors and distinctive spirits, distilled right here in RI. Fresh botanicals are foraged along the Blackstone River Valley and Rhode Island’s coast and grown by local farmers to create unique spirits that could come from nowhere else. The Industrious Spirit Company produces sustainably sourced vodka, gins, bourbons and specialty spirits, many inspired by their love of the Ocean State. They came to this project with a love for spirits and for making things by hand, inspired by their community. They care deeply about each step of the process—from their regional partners that grow their grains according to regenerative farming practices, to the time spent onsite mashing, fermenting, distilling, bottling and packaging. Join us as we welcome our guest hosts (dates vary) for casual discussion and a special cocktail tasting menu of their spirits along the beautiful Providence waterways!
