The NEWs on the street is... there's a new brewery in town! N.E.W. Ales Brewery in Middletown strives to make the craft beer experience approachable and unique.

What's N.E.W?

N.E.W. Ales Brewing is a passion project of three best friends that has come to life. The trio spent a lot of time in other taprooms before deciding to open their own brewery. Their goal is to create brews that everyone can enjoy; from those who are new to drinking craft beers, all the way to the more seasoned craft beer fans.

They work to make each flavor unique and special, while also aligning with their individual taste palates as well. The N.E.W. in the brewery name also stands for their names— Nikki, Elizabeth and Wes.

Nikki : Having a background in education and party planning, Nikki helps to spread the word about N.E.W. Ales, set up big events, and innovate with new ideas. If you have questions, want to set up a tasting, or plan an event... reach out to Nikki!

Elizabeth : Although she has a background in criminal justice, Beth always had a passion for craft beer and couldn't wait for an opportunity to open her own brewery business. Beth handles sales to get their brews out and about, as well as assisting with new flavor profiles.

Wes : Creating home brew batches in college is where Wes' love for craft beer all started. As the master Brewer for N.E.W. Ales, he enjoys introducing new flavors to beer and bringing unique ideas to the table.

Together, the three friends have created their dream business. The brewery has an open and welcoming space, including a real gem— the outdoor biergarten with a vibrant mural as the backdrop.
