Brewery Profile

Taproot Brewing Co / Newport Vineyards

In Middletown’s beer scene, Taproot Brewing Co. stands out because it operates as part of Newport Vineyards rather than as a standalone neighborhood bar. A visitor walking in finds a beer program built around small, fresh batches brewed on a seven-barrel system, with the vineyard’s broader food and wine offerings close at hand. Established in 2018, Taproot keeps its list changing, with new releases appearing each week. The lineup has included styles such as Hazy New England IPA, Belgian Wit, Lager, and White Stout, along with beers like F-BOMB, Hoppy Karma, Reel Easy, and Whiteout. The setting makes it possible to approach the visit as a brewery stop, a vineyard stop, or a combined tasting and meal.

Travelers in coastal Rhode Island often look for places where local drinks and food can be part of the same outing, especially when moving between Newport, Middletown, and nearby beaches or historic sites. Taproot fits that pattern by pairing its beer list with Newport Vineyards’ farm-to-table dining menu and house-made pretzels. Beer drinkers can focus on rotating pints or flights, while others in the group may prefer a wine tasting from Newport Vineyards. The brewery also draws on the vineyard’s background in agriculture and winemaking, which includes more than a century of family farming experience and nearly three decades of winemaking expertise. That connection gives the stop a broader beverage focus than a typical taproom visit.

For practical planning, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, since the beer list rotates and new releases are introduced weekly. Pints, flights, and four-packs are available, making it easy to sample on site or take beer to go where permitted. Visitors interested in food should know that the brewery’s offerings are integrated with the vineyard’s dining program rather than limited to beer alone. House-made pretzels are part of the known food experience, and wine tastings are available through Newport Vineyards. Details such as current hours, reservations, seasonal changes, and the exact day’s beer list should be checked directly with the venue before making a trip.
