Great big parking lot (although there are tons of pot holes). Easy access to Diego's food next door that they'll walk over while you're in the brewery (LOOOOVE Diego's!) It was too chilly today to sit outside but the outdoor seating area and new mural look like a fun place to hang out with the water view right there (chairs don't look too comfy though, eek). The taproom has funky decor with local business stickers, horror movie memorabilia, mini toy machines, arcade games, and comfy bar stool chairs and armchairs. It's bigger in here than I imagined it would be. I got the Toasted Coconut Porter (love that it has a toasted note, you don't see that a lot). The first few sips were yummy but then it had a medicinal / syrupy note to it after that which I wasn't crazy about. The music is fun - heavy alt/indie/rock/emo vibes and ties in to the overall vibe of the decor and branding, I could see it being offputting to some if that's not your taste and you got a particularly heavy/screamy song, so head's up there. I like the vibe and want to hang out here again, so I'd try it again, although the types of beer they make aren't especially my favorites. Amazing location and will be fantastic to hang out once it's warmer! read more

When I think of great breweries, the checklist usually consists of good beer, good service, great atmosphere, and some solid food to munch on; Rejects has all the above. The service is ALWAYS great, and the staff is a highlight here. The vibe is awesome, with some sweet arcade games and a store for some cool merch. Next door Diego's delivers their solid Mexican food. Then to top it off they have an excellent view looking out towards Easton Pond & Easton beach across the way. Def check this place out. read more

This is a hidden gem in the Newport area, off the normal Newport circuit but close enough to make the rounds. Also, a summer favorite in when the out door tables in use and the big doors are open. Friendly bartenders, Beer is good, lots of variety, and there plenty of food locally that you can grab a bite at. Right on the water (reservoir) with great sunsets. Word of caution... parking is difficult/limited when it's busy/nice out. My buddy parked across street once in back of Atlantic Grill/Elemental Skate in an empty parking lot on a Tuesday. Just as we were crossing street a maniacal blonde woman waving a dishtowel comes out of Atlantic Grill and starts screaming at us that we can't park there, saying she owns the lots. Very rude and quite comical. Just beware. read more

Stopped in while on vacation the first week of September. We instantly loved it! Friendly bartender, great space and wonderful beer! We sat outside because it was gorgeous out. The garage door was wide open to the inside where there was seating as well. read more

Recently visited on Monday for their trivia night and taco bar! I am more of a sour girly myself, but they didn't have any on tap that day. The bartender recommended the Mexican lager which was basically a lime sour - I say this in the best way possible! I ordered two over the course of trivia and they went perfectly with the taco bar provided by Diego's next door. The space was so cool, like 90s grunge meets a brewery. On a warmer day I might have ventured to the patio overlooking the water (not directly, there is a parking lot). Another plus, super dog friendly! We'll definitely be back ! read more

Cool dog friendly brewery with awesome decor inside! This spot is pretty small but they have a nice outdoor patio in their back lot. Not a ton of choices for beer but I enjoyed their Gose. The staff was super cool and helped answer some of the questions we had. And did we mention they're dog friendly? :P Great spot to stop in for a few hours as your driving out of Newport! read more

Interesting location outside of Newport, RI with even more interesting decor. The place seems to be in a basement of a larger building - not sure what is upstairs. Tried a few beers (the German hose sour, the cream ale, coastal access, and the light lager) they were all decent. Reject also works with the restaurant Nextdoor, Diego's, for delivery right to the brewery. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and they were set up for music. We didn't see a live band though. read more

If you want to know where the locals go. Reject's is it. The place is very chill. They do all sorts of activities there. Karaoke, trivia, etc and even wrestling. The beer is solid. You will not have a hard time finding one that you will love. The staff could not be friendlier. Tourists to Newport craft. Locals go to Rejects read more

They have added some more outdoor space & a balcony upstairs. They have started to really find a groove with brewing the beers & finally have several good choices at any given time. read more

Great place for beer , fun, and friends. But, mostly beer. LOL. Great friendly staff that will cater to your needs, except for food. They do not serve food only the good stuff Beer and more beer. Enjoy a pint, enjoy a gallon, but most of all enjoy. CHEERS! read more

A tucked away brewery that plays very loud punk music. What can I say - i just can't do the loud music anymore. A wide assortment of brew and there is a water view. Oh, and some pinball machines! I am here for a film screening and it is a nice set up. A Mexican restaurant is just above us, so I grabbed a plate of quesadillas. The bartender was nice! read more

Decent little dive bar. No food service but you can have it delivered from the food truck next door. Bar tender was friendly and drinks were cold, so that's a win in my book! read more

Visited this fun brewery twice this year. Rejects is part of the Diego's family of restaurants, so I knew it would be good. Combo'd both visits with trips to Diego's Cantina next door. Staff here is friendly and helpful. Check social media for the list of what's on tap. Vibe and a casual and low key. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Dog friendly. Arcade games. Water view from the patio. Great branding too. Free parking out back. Look forward to watching their portfolio of beer evolve. read more

Beer was 3.5/5. great new spot to check out with the Big Lebrewski tickets. It was a nice spot by the water, little small, but also had fun arcade games. The bartender was friendly, fast service! read more

It's a perfect example of a Small batch brewery at it's BEST. Well arranged taproom with lounge are and a clean bar and brewing area. This Taproom had an appealing arrangement of decor, a knowledgeable bar staff and amazing Mexican food served by Diego's (mom and pop Mexican restaurant) right next door. The brewery had a dope merchandise (merch) shop on location with a wide array of wearable clothing and collectibles. read more

Been there several times. Beer mediocre. Location OK. Music is loud and horrible. 90's head banking punk/grunge. They have turned the volume down a bit recently. Used to be so loud you couldn't hold a conversation. read more

Stopped in for a quick drink and fell in love with this place. Great beer and fantastic location. They allow dogs too!! We grabbed a couple beers and sat out on the front patio and even played a quick game of cor hole!! Definitely going back read more

I rolled up on this place because I had some time to kill. Glad I did. Upon entering, I was greeted by Dave, with whom I had unintentionally seen at Galactic Theater weeks prior. He was pouring hot sauce into a beer, so I asked him about it. He cheerfully explained it was Mexican beer and he was trying to get a Chelada vibe going, then offered me to try it. Actually wasn't bad. I tried the Mole Beer and I loved the subtle heat on the back end along with the chocolatey flavor and easy drinkable profile. I got along with the other people at the bar that chatted me up which was cool. Definitely will be checking this place out again some time soon! read more

I love a good sour beer and Rejects Beer delivered. Came in on a Saturday afternoon. The sun was shining on the back patio overlooking the water. Formed in 2020 after more than a year of planning and construction, Rejects is 1880 foot garage. Fun music and cool decor. It features a retro counter culture vibe with funky merch and an 80's basement vibe. They are not a brew pub, but have seasonal outside vendors and offer to go. It was definitely a fun scene at Rejects Beer- right down to the little stickers on the bar. I will definitely be back this summer! Cheers! read more

Stopped by for a few drinks on a Friday afternoon with the family. Friendly staff, interior a little "dark" but it was overcast outside and dog friendly. Good home brew and some free "old school" arcade games. Would recommend. read more

Nice brewery with an industrial feel and great Mexican food from the food truck. And DOG-FRIENDLY!

Visited on a Friday night and whoa! There was quite a crowd! I loved it that it gave an amazing vibe with the locals and def a gem in the hood. The beer menu isn't big but they pack quite a punch. I would love to see a bigger selection as they establish their presence in Newport! i recommend giving it a visit if you're in the area! read more

Great vibes. Good bartenders. Not an extensive beer selection but the few we tried were fantastic. One IPA and one ale, both would get again. You can order food from Diego's next door and bring it in. Roughly $8 a beer which is pretty cheap for a brewery. read more

Stopped in to try this brewery we stumbled upon. Go down around back to a fun bar/game room/man cave with outside seating. The beer is great! Bar tender was super nice. We were told the beer menu constantly rotates. read more

Great place to watch a band and have some awesome beer. Very friendly bar staff and a unique setting.

Just driving along the road and came across this brewery. The name caught our attention. Nice selection of beer and beautiful view of an inlet. Allegedly great sunsets as well. Staff very friendly and the beer is good. read more

Rejects Beer - Breweries Near Me - Middletown, Rhode Island

Tiny new spot in the burgeoning Middletown beach community. They have a small fridge with product, but it's not shelved, messy display. Yet the swag and gear are set up very neatly. Odd for a new brewery to focus their efforts on swag instead of selling their beer... However, I asked for the sour beer and the dude went downstairs to fill a giant 32 oz growler can, and it tasted amazing! I have high hopes for this little underdog read more

The best beer ever? Maybe.. at the very least it's the best addition to the area in a long time. Their first beers are delicious, well-balanced and almost too easy to drink and I can't wait til their next ones drop and the tap room opens! read more

Really good beer! We really enjoyed this brewery. Very laid back and we had a good time.

I know that beer is a very personal thing. For me, I was not a fan of any of their beers. I found them to be too thin and not particularly complex in their flavor. I do love what they've done with the Tap Room, but I'm unlikely to spend any time there. I was actually disappointed because I wanted their beer to be really good. Again, my personal take. read more

Always a good time spent at Rejects. Chill vibe and good beer. I understand they are newer, so excited for them to have more brews on their menu. Only warning would be that the countless times I've been there, the music is beyond loud and it's hard to converse with anyone if you decide to sit inside. read more

Awesome new brewery, might be my new favorite on the island. Beers good and the gears cool. The sour and the barley wine were both worth getting again read more

No prices posted anywhere. $8.50 a pint.. All the beers have a bad astringent (not hoppy bitterness) likely from over graining the wort or bad water chemistry.. Also they only do Valet parking.. read more

Found this place by accident, and glad we did! What a cute retro brewery! The beers were great! There is outdoor seating and some small arcade games in the back. The only problem was the music. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and there were a few families there. The music choice was unacceptable! The cursing and the subject matter were not appropriate at all for the crowd. The N word was repeated over and over again in different songs, but the same narrative. And the music was very LOUD! read more

WOW! Quick service, great beer options, servers (Cass and Jen) couldn't have been more helpful when I wasn't sure what I wanted. Got Diego's Cantina delivered right to the bar for a quick bite! 10/10 recommend. read more
