Newport Brewing Company

i have missed this place the last couple of times through, so it was awesome to finally get to check them out. its just a few blocks up the hill of the main drag down along the water, an easy walk, plenty of parking up here too though. a great space with some cool views from their large front patio space. they had a stage and live music set up when we were there which was cool, dog friendly outside, very welcoming staff. inside is cool too, a long and slightly narrow space with the bar running the length of the right wall, cool marine themed art, kitchen in the back and a really tasty looking food menu but we didnt eat, and the brewery off to the right of the building separated from the main bar. relaxed oceanic vibes in here, we posted up outside at a picnic table. service was prompt, friendly, and super personable, great chatting and she was eager to share samples of all their stuff. i liked the beer pretty well in here, a rather diverse menu. the flagship ipa was solid, but we liked the peanut butter imperial stout and the hazy pale ale as well. i was a little less impressed with the tangerine beer, the hazy double, and the lager, but they seem to have a good thing going, and even do some canning, neat art on these too. we will make more time and definitely eat here next time through, the beer was solid, the service fantastic, and the whole experience happening at a nice chill pace. good vibes abound in here! cool this small town can support a number of breweries too, great little coastal scene here growing up!

Big metal barn a few blocks off the main drag with an interesting view of the bridge over the bay. Long straight bar perpendicular to the entrance seats about 25, with some tables along the wall opposite the bar, and a few on the patio out front. Great octopus mural on the back wall. 14 beers on tap. Friendly bartenders. I did not try the food.
