Known for American Lager · New England IPA

Foolproof Brewing Company is based in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and was founded by Nick Garrison, a former homebrewer from Massachusetts who first brewed beer for his own wedding in 2008. The company was originally conceived as High Jinx Brewing but was renamed Foolproof before its public launch in early 2013 to avoid trademark conflicts. Garrison formally began commercial operations in December 2012, with the brewery opening to the public in 2013. Foolproof became known for packaging most of its beers in cans, promoting cans as the superior vessel for flavor preservation.
