The season’s iconic pumpkin flavor lingers on with the release of Newport Storm’s new brew, Rhode Island Pumpkin (RIP). Replacing the draft versions of their Oktoberfest Marzen Lager and Winter Porter, RIP is based on the same recipe as their Cyclone Gloria beer, a favorite among Newport Storm fans, and the company describes the brew as a “liquid pumpkin pie.” RIP is available only as a draft and will be sold throughout Rhode Island until December 30.

Celebrating the completion of their yearly grape harvest, Greenvale Vineyards hosts their 15th Annual Harvest Festival, on November 9.

Participating restaurants include The Spiced Pear, The Boat House, Scales and Shells and Malt.

Amidst the blur of the end-of-year holidays and their food-centric traditions, it’s easy to forget about the value of eating healthy. To combat unhealthy diets, the East Bay Food Pantry offers a Healthy Cooking Class, on November 1 at 11am. A class discussion will focus on the importance of incorporating fruits and vegetables into a daily diet, and then attendants will learn how to cook cabbage and sweet potato stew. Afterward, each participant receives a bag of ingredients to prepare the stew at home, courtesy of the East Bay Cares program. To register, call 401-396-9490. Free. 150 Franklin Street, Bristol.
