Protectworth Brewing
Protectworth Brewing Company began in a Springfield garage, where small-batch brews and a loyal Saturday crowd laid the groundwork for what it is today—a laid-back riverside brewery in Newport.
Set just off John Stark Highway along the Sugar River, Protectworth is the kind of place you can roll into straight off the Rail Trail or on your way through and stay longer than you planned. With 17 rotating taps, tasting flights are the way in, offering a chance to try a little of everything, from creative house brews to hard seltzers and local collaborations—like their hard cider made with Beaver Pond Farm.
There’s usually something going on: Pizza Hero Food Truck serving up slices on site, Monday night trivia, and live music—such as JD and the Stonemasons on the first Thursday of each month. Dogs are welcome on the patio.

May 18, 2026 · Google ReviewThe atmosphere was great, and the owner, Adam, was super friendly! The only downside was that we didn’t get to order pizza because they were so backed up—but that just gives us something to look forward to next time we visit.
