It is illegal in the state of RI to have free tastings of alcohol outside of your established business. The original permit was denied to Brickyard and the owner circumvented the system under the guise of a fundraiser, selling tickets to raise money for TapIN, making the tasting no longer free. Loopholes.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
