Newport Craft Brewery & Distillery
From the humble beginnings of an idea in a garage to the present-day manufacturing facility covering more than 10,000 square feet, Newport Craft Brewery and Distillery has solidified themselves as a staple in New England. A portfolio of 16 craft beers, 9 distilled spirits and a multi-state distribution reach puts them among today’s leaders in the brewing and distilling industry.
Newport Craft’s award-winning spirits are perfect straight or in your favorite cocktail. Using the same distilling methods that once made the Ocean State the rum capital of the world, Thomas Tew Rum was ranked amongst the top ten craft rums in America, by USA Today. This delicious spirit can be enjoyed in over 500 restaurants and bars, including Walt Disney World’s EPCOT, and as the official rum of the New York Mets. Their Sea Fog Whiskey is also a crowd favorite and their single malt was awarded a Silver Medal by Whisky Advocate along with scoring it at an 89 for generous body and special qualities while their Rye Whiskey was scored at a 90 for refined character and style. Newport Craft also distills a dry style Gin, an unaged, pure moonshine, and a gluten-free Vodka.
Adding to their portfolio, Newport Craft has acquired Braven Brewing Company and Radiant Pig Beer Company which has more than doubled the amount of beer production and aided with their footprint in the New York market. To accompany the expansion of their portfolio, a $7 million construction project is set to break ground. The multi-million dollar project will include renovations to the existing outdoor covered patio and the addition of a spacious rooftop beer garden in order to better accommodate the rapidly growing number of visitors the brewery sees daily. Once the beer garden is complete, guests will be able to enjoy the best view in the city, surrounded by family and friends, while watching the sun set over the iconic Pell Bridge and glistening Narragansett Bay.
They invite you to relax with their selection of spirits and beer and enjoy an afternoon of lawn games and live music. Their covered, outdoor patio or indoor tasting room is the perfect space to host your next corporate event, wedding weekend or family gathering.

A Mano’s trained chefs have full control of the pillow-y, fresh dough and molds each pizza into a crisp and airy base to top with only the freshest, organic ingredients imported from Italy.

Hilltop Inn
2 Kay Street, also known as “Hilltop,” was erected in 1905 for a prominent physician, Dr. Charles W. Stewart, and his family. Dr. Stewart ran his practice out of his home until 1959 when it was purchased by Paul and Florence K. Murray. A native of Newport, Rhode Island, Florence served in World War II as an officer in the Women’s Army Corps and represented Newport as Rhode Island’s first female State Senator. She continued her life of firsts throughout her career which culminated when she became the first female Justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court.
