Protectworth Brewing (Craft Beer & Brewery in Newport NH)

Protectworth Brewing in Newport, New Hampshire, is the sort of place that makes you wonder how anyone ever survived on bland lagers. With 17 rotating tap lines you’ll never be short of a new experiment, and the house‑special p‑Dub’s hard seltzers sit proudly among the ever‑shifting lineup. The operation recently shifted into a spacious new brewhouse, where the only thing larger than the tanks is the ambition to keep the beer list fresh.

The taproom is a riotous homage to Star Wars—lightsabers and all—while arcade cabinets and 80’s gaming classics keep the vibe as lively as a Saturday night karaoke showdown. Beer lovers can sample everything from a silky Scotch Ale to a brooding Imperial Stout, then settle into a cozy corner where the seating options make you feel less like a tourist and more like a regular. The owners (who happen to know their hops from their barley) run trivia nights with a know‑how that turns a simple quiz into a masterclass in craft culture. All the while, Protectworth supplies its neighbours’ pubs, proving that great beer can be both a local treasure and a community‑wide celebration.
