Twin River gives to food bank

LINCOLN – Twin River Casino donated $2,500 to the Rhode Island Community Food Bank on Nov. 12.
The gift was presented by John Taylor Jr., the casino’s chairman of the board, and Craig Sculos, general manager and vice president, during a preview party of the opening of the casino’s new Shipyard Pub. “We are pleased to support the Rhode Island Community Food Bank during the holiday season,” said Taylor. “It matters significantly to us that celebrations of this nature are also an opportunity to give back to the community in which we live.”
The pub, which seats 80, will be open seven days a week, and features traditional pub fare with a twist, including unique, healthy dishes that pair well with Shipyard craft beers. A full bar is also available. Twin River will also continue the traditional Shipyard Mug Club whereby guests may purchase a mug and have it stored in the pub, receiving a discount every time it is used.
Shipyard Brewing Company in Portland, Maine, is a family owned brewery. Its 20 varieties of beers are crafted by a team of brewers who learned from renowned master brewer Alan Pugsley.
