Our Partnerships

URI

We are thrilled to announce our partnership with University of Rhode Island Athletics! This features two athletic-themed beers: Rhody Ruckus Lager and Rhody Ram IPA. Both beers were crafted by Newport Craft and will be distributed and sold throughout the state. A portion of every sale from the Lager and IPA will go directly to supporting URI and Rhody Excellence.

The beer will be available at Ryan Center, in our tasting room, and at bars and stores near you!

“This partnership reflects our shared vision of excellence and our dedication to fostering growth and innovation in Rhode Island,” said Brendan O'Donnell, CEO of Newport Craft Brewing.

Thorr Bjorn, Director of Athletics for URI, added, “As the landscape of college athletics evolves, we continue to develop partnerships that help support the mission of Rhody Athletics.”

Providence College

As part of the partnership, Newport Craft will work collaboratively with Providence Athletics to support a Friar NIL Fund, creating opportunities for Providence student-athletes to engage with the community through autograph sessions, meet-and-greets, brewery appearances, and other promotional programming.
