The Brewery

Founded by Nick Garrison, Foolproof thinks about beer a bit differently. To them beer is not just an alcoholic beverage but an experience that should be thoroughly savored and enjoyed. That’s why when they brew each beer, they think about specific life experiences and what style of beer would be absolutely perfect for that particular occasion. That’s how they came up with the concept of “experience-based brewing.” Each of the beers serves as a tribute to a sacred beer drinking experience—whether you’re watching a baseball game, relaxing at home on a rainy day, or just catching up with friends at the local pub, Foolproof’s goal is to create a unique and fulfilling beer experience for you. Cheers! And remember, it’s Your Life. Your Beer.

The Beers 

Foolproof produces limited production seasonal and speciality beers and four year-round beers: Barstool, a golden ale; Raincloud, a porter; La Ferme Urbaine, a farmhouse ale; Backyahd, an IPA which draws its name from the Eastern New England pronunciation of "backyard. The company markets its beers by naming them after "experiences," or common beer-drinking contexts, for which each is intended.

Unusual for a small brewery, Foolproof releases most of its beer, and in particular its core year-round brands, in cans, and promotes the use of cans for better flavour. Foolproof's brewmaster, Damase Olsson, is a former chemist and brewer at Nashoba Valley Winery and now-defunct Pennichuck Brewery.

In January 2014 the brewery released a line of beer-based soaps in collaboration with Newport-based soapmaker Spindrift.

Foolproof Company says...

At Foolproof, we think about beer a bit differently. To us, beer is not just an alcoholic beverage but an experience that should be thoroughly savoured and enjoyed. That’s why when we brew each beer, we think about specific life experiences and what style of beer would be absolutely perfect for that particular occasion.
