Great beer, good views, great service. Shat else can you expect for a craft brewery! I'm glad we stopped by and defined a place to go if you want a beer and definitely a place I will come back to whenever I'm in the area!

What a great brewery!! Nick and Brandon were awesome!! We especially loved all of Brandon's stories!! Whoever the owners are, you're lucky to have employees speak so highly of your business! We are from our of state, have traveled all over, and visited lots of breweries and wineries. It really says a lot when employees show so much pride, enthusiasm, and are so great!! The beer was great too!! We aren't IPA drinkers, but they had us try one and it was great! Thanks again for an awesome visit!!

I love the new look here! I visited for the first time in over a year this past weekend and was impressed with all the changes. Although the bar was pretty crowded, service was quick. I really enjoyed my berry sour. I tried some of my fiancé’s beer (the special luau IPA) and liked that even more!My only gripe is that when we were there it felt like a daycare. There were nearly as many kids there as adults and they were taking up all the tables in the bar area and running circles around the tables and up and down the stairs. It would be nice if it were 21+. We had planned to stay for a few drinks, but ended up leaving after one drink and going to a different brewery because of the amount of very young kids being loud and running around. Next time I’ll probably try to go later at night or on a weeknight!

Visited this brewery on a weekend trip to Newport. The beer and service were excellent. Bartenders were helpful and the outdoor space is very nice- dog and kid friendly. However, while we there only outdoor seating was available which made for a pretty hot afternoon. They did provide bathrooms and I was told a food truck would be there that evening.

Friendly staff, delicious beer selection. Outdoor seating is plentiful and the outdoor bar is a cool addition

Had a great visit to the Newport Craft Brewery today! The outdoor space is clearly remodeled and stunning. Loved the outdoor bar and seating options in the parking lot. I had the Daybreak Wit & Blueberry- both great and highly recommend! I just wish there were more souvenir items and the indoor area was closed as well. Service was good as well. Forgot to mention - my dog Stormie loved watching the corn hole! Would definitely visit again!

Lucky for us we visited on the reopening of the patio!! It looked beautiful. Awesome ambiance and they had hot dogs as a food option. Which were affordable and delicious. Both bartenders were incredibly knowledgeable. We tasted their single malt and rye whisky. Both were awesome!! I also tried one of their sours. It was a super thick consistency which I prefer for my sours.

We opened them up today at 4 pm after a day of touring the historic houses of Newport. All of that walking worked up a serious thirst in us, and we had "miles to go before we slept", so just had to stop in to pick up what some call the finest brews in New England. We were warmly greeted by numerous folks on the staff, and this really looked like a great place to have some brews and chill, but we were staying an hour away and needed to get back home to plan for the next day of our trip. They are putting some serious money into this place and it shows. Like they say, "Do it right the first time, and you won't have to do it over again later". We bought two beers, the "Juicy Fruit", and "Malasada Stout". Only got to try the stout tonight and it rocks!

Fantastic tour (don't miss it). Includes a taste from either the brewery or distillery.I'm torn on which is better - so I had to try some of both.Can't wait for the construction to be completed. They have a wonderful vision for the place and the beer to match!

Super nice and knowledgeable staff. Double hops beer, their vodka and dark rum are what we tried. All good quality. I'm not a beer drinker, but I enjoyed the double ipa!

Ivan Nazario

Most of the time this visit is good. Yesterday I was surprised by $10 beers and the ONE staffer was not enough for the crowd. He wasnt that friendly either.

LOVED our visit here! We were able to talk in depth about the craft beers/distilling process with the head brewer. Very much appreciated the time and information!! Super cool spot with liquor flights, cocktails and beer. They have a ton of games too to stay busy, super fun spot (fun merch items as well) will be back for sure when in Newport!!!
