Grey Sail Brewing of Rhode Island
Grey Sail Brewing of Rhode Island was founded by husband and wife Alan and Jennifer Brinton, officially opening on November 11, 2011, in Westerly, Rhode Island. The brewery is housed in a circa-1920s building that originally served as the Westerly Macaroni Factory, later used by the U.S. Postal Service and then NAPA Auto Parts before being repurposed as a brewery. Grey Sail's first beer was Flagship Ale, and its double IPA Captain's Daughter became the beer that put the brewery on the map regionally and nationally. In 2016 the Brintons opened an outdoor beer garden at the property, and the brewery has since distinguished itself by becoming the first craft brewery in Rhode Island to capture and reuse its own CO2 emissions.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
Flagship Cream Ale
Their beers place in the Top 45% of the catalogue on average, across 3 ranked beers. One clear standout well ahead of the rest.
