Great little brewery!!! Decent variety of beers to try. We found this place on a flyer @ our hotel. Looked online & wanted to try the thin ice beer (tasted a lot like Girl Scouts thin mints). It was good but the stout o gold was the best!!! We have lived in Germany for years and since moving back to the U.S. and have found nothing comparable to a German dunkel until we tasted the stout o gold. Lots of good vibes here. Loved that this is a veteran owned establishment & dog friendly. I thought the prices were very reasonable. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a great place to try a variety of different beers and a good time with your partner or friends. Also, if looking for a good comparable German/Belgium beer then this is the place to go!

A fun place to visit a little off the beaten path but worth the trip a great selection of beer and a few snack items friendly staff some great merch to pick up I had a great time here and will be back to try and get my pick on the wall for kicking the keg that's when you get the last glass from any keg

Awesome Veteran owned business! The red is my favorite! You have to experience this place for yourself, especially if you are a local! I cannot believe this place is in Newport! you will love it for sure!

Really was glad to come to this place because I've never seen this area or town before! It's not difficult at all to find and seems very comfortable to locals.. inside had lots of tables but we wanted go outside in back patio.. very cool murals on building and lots of seating. Dog friendly too.. our bartender was Ashley and she was great! Gave us info on all beers where they came from, what sells best and gave us paper to fill out for our flights of 4 beers.. beer was very good but my personal favorite was sandy white peaches.. light with slight taste of peach not super sweet .. if you pay attention to board where list of beers are you'll see kick the keg... if your one gets last bit of one of beers in house you get pic on wall and tshirt.. pretty cool idea.. I'll be back

Nice little brewery. Good place to stop for a beer. They have to-go beer in cans, crowlers, and growlers.

Great craft brewery! Service is always excellent and the beer garden is a great outside seating option!!

Used to be a pretty cool place, great beer, but completely overrun with poorly supervised children on my last few visits

Nice brewery with lots of variety. Bartender very helpful. Clean environment. Beers are a bit young tasting at this point in time IMHO. Stop in try flight and decide for yourself.

Bought a beer and 2 sodas, chips and dip, asked for napkins and was told I can get some paper towels from the bathroom :( I couldn't believe it. Immediate turn off. I have never been to a place that serves drinks or food and has no napkins for their patrons. The young woman at the counter didn't thing it was a big deal. Disgraceful.

Meh. Have been a few times as we are veterans and locals. Beers were pretty boring unfortunately and did not taste at all as they should. We didn't even finish due to it tasting like the lines needing to be cleaned.
