“Red, White & Brews” Veterans Day event at Newport Craft Brewery will fund Orion scholarships for military children
Newport, R.I. — Something’s brewing for Veterans Day in Newport! Newport Craft Brewing &
Distilling Co., in partnership with Jamestown-based charity, Orion Military Scholarships, will be
sponsoring “Red, White & Brews” on Saturday, November 11, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm. The event
will be held at Newport Craft’s Brewery, 293 JT Connell Hwy. in Newport.
The celebration, which is to honor military veterans, is open to the public, and will offer
specialty beers, a full outdoor cash bar, a heated event tent, live music, an Orion charity raffle
and Wally’s Wiener Wagon. Newport Craft will sell privately-labeled, veteran-inspired “Bravo
Zulu” brew, and a portion of the proceeds will go to Orion Military Scholarships. Orion provides
military children with stable educational opportunities at boarding schools so they won’t have to
interrupt high school when their parents get military orders. Veterans who’ve served will enjoy a
pint on Newport Craft Brewery during the event.
Local musician Peter Dorrien Traisci of Green Arthur music will be playing live from
2:30 to 4:30 pm. Raffle tickets are $5 each, 10 for $40, and 25 for $100. Raffle sponsors include
Audrain Hospitality Group, Sail Newport, Stanley Black & Decker, Ben’s Furniture, Pasquale’s
Pizzeria, Our Table Restaurant, Perro Salado Mexican Restaurant, Conanicut Gift Shop, Jane
Pickens Theater, Lemon & Line, JB’s on the Water, Atlantic Grill, Curiosity & Co. Bookstore
and Wine Bar, and many more.
