PROVIDENCE — Cramped quarters are now a thing of the past for Long Live Beerworks. The brewery's 3,500-square-foot new location opened this week in the renovated Mechanical Fabric Company factory complex on the West End.

Owner Armando DeDona, who started Long Live Beerworks in 2016, has moved the business from its initial home in a tiny storefront on West Fountain Street to a two-level space in the former mill. The new brewery has a 15-seat bar, 18 tap lines, and an upstairs loft area with several tables and views of the production floor.

“We had outgrown the [former] space,” said Jessica deBry, Long Live Beerworks' general manager and DeDona’s wife. “We wanted to create a more comfortable experience that will allow people to linger longer.”

The inviting interior, with exposed brick, a mural and detailed metalwork, was designed by Providence-based HB Design. The firm has also worked with PVDounts and Bayberry Beer Hall.

While Long Live does not have a flagship beer, brewer DeDona tends to favor New England-style IPAs and stouts. The larger space will allow him to offer an increased selection of pours, and make more cans available for fans to bring home.

He also plans to start a barrel-aging program in an area near the main taproom.

More space also means more food. Long Live will be regularly hosting culinary pop-up vendors in its new location. In addition, pressed sandwiches will frequently be available through a new catering company, Solid Gold Provisions, co-owned by deBry.

Solid Gold Provisions is working out of a nearby commercial kitchen space now operated by Knead Doughnuts. The businesses are part of the same former mill complex, redeveloped by Rooms & Works.

Another brewery, Beer on Earth, is in the process of moving from North Kingstown to Long Live’s former location on West Fountain Street.
