One of the biggest minds in the smallest states. The future of Newport Craft with Brendan O'Donnell

---

It’s been over a year since an all-time guest, Brendan O’Donnell, joined the pod, so we took the trip to Newport to catch up! Newport Craft is in the midst of one of the most exciting transformations in Rhode Island’s craft beer history. They plan to triple in size by adding a beer garden with views of the Pell Bridge, a parking lot with room for over 200 cars, and a large space for lawn games. Brendan discusses the transformations that are underway, how they’re maintaining - and growing - the brewery, and the game-changing benefits this will have for the beer industry in Rhode Island, New England, and beyond. We also discuss some of the recent additions to the Newport Craft & Audrain portfolio, and some of the spots you can see the Audrain portfolio around Rhode Island.
