Brewery Profile

Protectworth Brewing

For visitors exploring Newport’s beer options, this brewery offers a locally made craft beer stop with a recent connection to the city. Protectworth Brewing began in 2019 in Springfield, New Hampshire, founded by Tim Fraser and Adam Bray, and moved to Newport in 2024. That same year, Tony Grasso joined as a third owner and operator. A visitor walking in should expect a brewery centered on its own beer rather than a broad multi-brand bar program: the beers are designed and hand-crafted in-house, with fresh pours served directly from the tap. Its Newport presence is still a newer chapter in the brewery’s history, but the operation itself has several years behind it.

Travelers moving through this part of New Hampshire often seek out small breweries as part of a wider regional itinerary, whether they are looking for a local pint after outdoor time, a low-key stop between towns, or a chance to taste beer made close to where it is served. Protectworth fits that pattern by offering direct access to its own production, rather than packaged beer encountered far from the source. The specific styles available on a given visit are not listed here, so the most accurate expectation is a rotating or current tap selection determined by what the brewery has produced and is pouring at the time. For visitors who like to ask about process, ingredients, or what is newest, the taproom setting is the right place to do that.

Practical planning should be based on current information from the brewery, since details such as hours, seating setup, food availability, events, and to-go options are not provided in the known facts. The taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, and checking ahead is sensible before making a special trip to Newport. What is clear is that Protectworth Brewing’s public-facing experience is built around in-house beer served fresh from the tap under its current ownership team of Tim Fraser, Adam Bray, and Tony Grasso. Visitors should treat it as a straightforward craft brewery stop: go for the beer made by the brewery itself, ask what is available that day, and plan the rest of the visit around confirmed current details.

Protectworth Brewing was founded in 2019 by Tim Fraser and Adam Bray in Springfield, New Hampshire. The brewery expanded its team in 2024 with the addition of Tony Grasso as a third owner and operator. That same year, Protectworth Brewing relocated to a new facility in Newport, NH. All of their beers are designed and hand-crafted in-house, with fresh pours available directly from the tap. The brewery maintains its focus on producing locally made craft brews under the direction of its founding and current ownership team.
