The smallest state is already spoiled for choice when it comes to good beer, but Pivotal is leaving its mark on the scene, churning out sought-after hazies, boozy stouts, and crisp lagers.

Owner Cliff Rhoads has big plans for the rest of the property, including a private rental space, a permanent stage for live music and entertainment, and an on-site Airbnb.
