"Good beer brings people together. Great breweries make you want to stay." We came to Two Roads Brewing for a UConn alumni basketball watch party, and it turned out to be a really fun place to catch a game. The biggest highlight was easily the beer selection. The variety was impressive, with a wide range of styles that made it easy for everyone in our group to find something they enjoyed. Whether you prefer something light and crisp or something a little more bold, they seem to have a beer that fits the mood. Food was honestly the weaker part of the experience. It was fine and did the job, but it was not particularly memorable. Nothing was bad, it just did not stand out compared to how strong the drink program is. Service was excellent. The staff were extremely kind and attentive throughout the event. Even with a busy crowd watching the game, they stayed friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience feel welcoming. The ambiance is where Two Roads really shines. The brewery space is large, lively, and perfect for group gatherings. Watching a game there with a room full of fans creates a great energy, and the open brewery atmosphere gives the place a fun and social feel. Four stars for a brewery that delivers great beer, great service, and a lively place to watch a game, even if the food is not the main attraction. read more

The service at Two Roads is next level. My friend and I visited all three buildings and everyone was awesome. The bartenders were really knowledgeable and explained every beer we asked about and Jason in Area 2 told us all about how they make their Whiskey it was a really cool process made us appreciate the drink more. You'll definitely have a great time here there's so much to do we loved trying the beer and espresso martini flight. Will definitely be back I love the quiet area in the tasting room and all the games they have! read more

I came in for the factory tour, which does come with included beer samples. :-) And I stayed for absolutely incredible food off their menu and maybe a few more drinks. My dad and I had a great tour, the person giving the tour was incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly and deservingly very proud of their excellent business and business practices The entire thing is built into an old machinery factory that maintains some very nice historical wood details and local history displays They're locally produced clam chowder is some of the best I've ever had read more

Two Roads Brewing - Great tour! - Breweries Near Me - Stratford, Connecticut

I have been to the Two Roads Campus multiple times and I have had Two Roads beers more times than I can count. In terms of public facing facilities, the Two Toads Campus has an Experimental building called Area Two that focuses on Wild Ales and Sours and things like that, there is a golf simulator building, there is a food hall and there is a primary brewery building and tap room that has a gift shop and Two Roads' primary beer offerings. Although I have been to and like Area Two quite a bit, and had some food in the Food Hall, I've only visited there as part of comped Food Blogger visits. That's why I'm limiting my review to my visit with a friend last weekend and other times when I have bought Two Roads beers. I think Two Roads is at or near the top in beer production among CT Craft Breweries. And I think their beer is well above average in terms of quality. I enjoyed my Two Roads Jackpot Juice and hanging out in the main tap room. They had a lot of seating and preseason games on. The space is cool and service is friendly. Two Roads Campus is definitely must visit if you're a beer enthusiast. 4.25 Stars read more

We came here for the paws and pints event where you could bring your doggie for multitude of activities. It could be a little overwhelming, but there was plenty of space for the doggies to go. There was live music, food vendors and many doggie vendors with an array of food, treats, and other items for pups The line was long but the service was quick for both the hotdog line and the beer garden. read more

This local CT brewery has a pretty cool setup with multiple buiĺdings- a food hall, the brewery, area two and the hop yard. Apparently they host many community events.

Only stopped in for Drinks late Sat aft. I know it's considered the "OG" of local breweries, but my wife and I were not too impressed with several of the beers we tried in our flight. Very Friendly staff and a great setting (inside and out), but in my opinion, they should focus more on refining the tastes of their beers, as opposed to trying to become a Distillery as well. read more

Two Roads brewing is great, we didnt' get the factory tour, we had a great time sitting at the bar watching sports. There was a run club that had clearly had a halloween run from the place. Parking was ample, the taproom was a little tricky to find. Wasn't really sure we could order food from the bar. I had tacos and a side of guac and chips. The guac and chips order has more chips than 4 people can eat, and less guac than two people can eat. The beer is excellent. The hard seltzer is less so, but can be tasted in a flight, which was a nice way to not drink a whole one. read more

Two roads brewing was a hit for me. I enjoyed my meal here. We got the side winder fries. The chicken dippers and the alla vodka pizza. I was pleased with all three meals.

Fun place and great live entertainment, the food is excellent, we had the wedge salad and the margherita flat bread pizza and it was so good . Also tried the NO LIMITS beer and that was by far the BEST brewery beer I've ever had . Service was great and everyone was so friendly and helpful . My only issue if with the bathroom , they only have bathrooms inside the building up a longggg flight of stairs ,not really very helpful if you don't have an elevator . And the outside bathroom is ports porta potty so not exactly very nice . They should consider building a small bathroom outside . Aside from that the place is awesome , plenty of space inside and out . Go check it out !! read more

We had a wedding party here for 175 guests and they handled it perfectly My daughter got married 6 weeks previously at a small family wedding at the Gray Barn in Norwalk - but they wanted a party for they rest of friends - both were perfect. To begin - Ronnie, the event manager was incredible. He worked his tail off. All the staff was great as well The apps at cocktail hour were great, and food at the buffet was excellent- and beer and drinks... everything was perfect My daughter and her husband told me their plans for a party at Two Roads - including the music- the iconic CT band - 8 To The Bar - everything left me gobsmacked. No hesitation recommending this for wedding or party read more

Absolutely a blast to sit back and enjoy Two Roads Brewery. First beer I had was the Honeyspot, 16 oz glass was delicious and very refreshing after a ling day of walking. We akso ordered a flight with Lushee Passion fruit, Summer Heaven, Road to Ruin, Fruity Juicy, dos caminos and the honey spot. The lushee passion fruit cuts right to the point, i was having a burger and it just cuts thru the fat with a high level of citrus. The summer heaven is nice, subtle but very well rounded beer. The fruity juicy surprised me, its very berry like but it went great with the chicken wings with pineapple sauce. The least favorite beer was the dos camino- cery mineral and flat. We order churros to taste it with our flight of beer. The chirros kick ass. For sure a good way to finish the meal. read more

This warehouse style brewery is a fun spot to stop if you're in Connecticut. From the old two roads painted van outside to the brew tanks inside adorned with large artwork from local artists, there is a lot to visually take in at this location. I opted for the flight which was placed on a two roads logo shaped board. The beer was solid with varying styles from a cherry quad to a hazy ipa to a berry sour. The staff was friendly and helpful and aided me in bringing back some of their various merch home with me. Would visit again! read more

I highly HIGHLY recommend going on a brewery tour here! It's only $5 and you get several samples of beer. Amanda was awesome and taught us so much! I feel like on most tours you just learn a little bit about hops and malt, but here we learned all sorts of niche interesting facts. They only have tours on Saturdays at 1:30 and 3:30 because that's when production is closed. Overall this was a top tier brewery experience! The staff here are so friendly and nice. We had two flights for $15 each and the flight pours are honestly massive. That allowed us to try pretty much everything on the menu. This brewery is more focused on the classic IPAs whereas the Area Two across the street has more of the experimental brews. The gift shop is great too, they have plenty of Two Roads gear for the beer lover in your family. There's not a whole lot to do in this area, but it's worth coming here for Two Roads alone! read more

On October 5th, 2024, my niece and I went to Two Roads to try flights of their beers. We left feeling welcomed by the staff that we now consider family. Bryan was our bartender. He was extremely knowledgeable about the beers, giving us his honest opinions and really wanted our feedback once we tried the beers we selected. We were given a food menu. Two Roads owned a restaurant across the brewery called Two Roads Food Hall + Bar: A Fork In The Road Less Traveled. This is mostly a quick and easily hand held bar food but it's top notch. My neice had the Mac and cheese while I also had Mac and cheese but with barbecue pulled pork. Absolutely delicious. Creamy cheese and perfect pasta but that pulled pork was generous, cooked properly and seasoned just right. An enjoyable experience. A must return to try other items on the menu. We asked about a tour of the facility. For just $5, paid at the gift shop, and I'll get to that later, we had a well guided tour by Amy. We absolutely loved Amy. She gave us the history of the brewery, the beer brewing process, and the many steps all the way up to bottling or canning. We felt at home with Amy and she answered many questions. Amy also gave us a quick tour of Two Roads' newest brewery, Area Two Experimental Brewery. We didn't have a lot of time to try what the brewery had to offer but we were both impressed with the atmosphere and the potential of this being THE spot to celebrate with friends and family. Maybe I'll return to do a review for Area Two. Hopefully, we will see Amy again. Before we left, my neice and I fell in love with the brewery and had to check out the gift shop. Makya tended the shop and she was just as pleasant and helpful as the rest of the staff. We bought a lot of items. A lot! We took home some beers in cans, tee shirts and hooded sweatshirt, the flight paddle with 5 glasses plus more but as you would guess we went overboard but it just a perfect way to end the day. Any glass we purchased was carefully wrapped by Makya and it arrived home without any cracks or chips. We entered the gift shop twice and Makya held on to our purchase when we went into the tour for us. We went back a second time to get more merch. This brewery really is the best in the state. Prove me wrong if you must but Two Roads serves exclusively their own beers, cans other beers like Lawson's Sip of Sunshine from Vermont, and is currently about to branch off to new territory with Area Two that will distill gin, rum, and whiskey and more. You need to come here to try the beers and get a true experience of the great friendly staff and a pride of Connecticut brewing. This is a destination for a perfect travel guide to the state. read more

Two Roads Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Stratford, Connecticut

Two Roads, an excellent addition to the Connecticut brewery scene, is a usual stop for us when we are in the area. The tap room is long and narrow, with views overlooking the main brewery operation on the other side of glass windows. We sampled several different beers, as well as the cocktails and seltzers. Good - The cocktails were a hit with the ladies, made with vodka, they were a fan favorite. - The selection of IPAs is immense. - The taproom is lively, well decorated and spacious. - Favorite beer: Summer Heaven, very tropical with a strong hoppy note. - The options are varied for any type of beer drinker. There are light beers, IPAs, dark beers, seltzers and canned cocktails, as well as N/A beers. Meh: - The ok2berfest beer was quite weak. Not the finest we've had. - No TVs - No food options in house We enjoy Two Roads and have frequented it in the past. Definitely a must stop if you are sampling beer in the area and a good place to hang out with family and friends. Stop here if you like hoppy IPAs especially. read more

Went over Memorial Day weekend and to our surprised it was not as crowded as we expected. Started at the main hub and walked over to Area two.

Looking forward to going back read more

Two roads is a must stop when touring breweries in CT. So many options for beer and other beverages. My husband tried a non alcoholic brew they offered and it was great tasting. I had one of their new canned drinks by Guy Fieri- a take on a half and half hard beverage (lemonade and iced tea). Super refreshing! It's a fun spot with a bunch of people and things to do. You could easily spend a day here between visiting the brewery, area 2, and the food hall! read more

Another Oktoberfest at Two Roads! The event as a whole was good - good beer, good food (an excellent selection that would appeal to just about any palette) and fun entertainment! The biggest disappointment was that the event email stated free shuttles would be running all day from BOTH the train station AND the High School. We arrived early at 11:30 (the event began at 12) to catch the first shuttle. We waited until nearly 12:20 for the shuttle to arrive. We were waiting with nearly 100 people. Someone called and, at first, got a vague answer, then upon a second call, discovered the first shuttle was still 15 minutes away. We had to walk (in 80 degree heat with no water as outside beverages were not permitted) to the brewery. NOT COOL. After 8 years you would hope the biggest brewery in the area would have their act together. read more

Stopped in on the way back to NYC and each got a flight. Due to personal issues I have to take my time with drinking beer and especially when they are varying types of beers of various ABVs in a flight with fluctuating sugar content. At around 5:45, the music was abruptly shut off and they started cleaning up around us. I was trying my best to finish my last two 4oz samples. A guy working there was cleaning and putting up chairs and angrily says to us "You gotta finish up, we are closing." It was 6:06. At that time, I had one small 4 oz glass in front of me. I felt like I was intruding despite us closing out our tab and using the bathroom right after the lights went up. I felt unwelcome and clearly couldn't explain my current medical reasons for having to drink slowly so I left angry, defeated, and unlikely to return, all due to this man's desire to go home (which I can understand but also hey it's only 6 minutes past closing, cut me some slack). I left upset and won't return. read more

Grab your drinks upstairs at the bar and head back outside to the patio! Great atmosphere and good beer. I wish the beer was a tiny bit colder (maybe refrigerate the glasses?) but it was good overall. Fun to taste the flight. They technically don't allow modifications to the flight but you can order flight sized portions of any beer you want. Order from PizzaCo while you drink! They will run the food over to you. We had a great pizza and a great Nutella pizza! read more

We had the best summer day at Two Roads! We hung out at The Hop Yard with great live music, fun yard games, and the drinks were great. The slushie and Daybreaker Cocktail were especially refreshing! There were plenty of tables with umbrellas to hang out in the shade, and when they noticed that most seats were taken, they would bring out more Adirondack chairs to make sure everyone was comfortable. We even got to go on a tour of the main brewery and Area 2, which was so cool and very well done. I appreciated that they had a shuttle available between the two parts of the campus so that we didn't have to walk on the main road. I was truly amazed at how Two Roads was quite literally a campus; I've never been to a brewery this large before! I will definitely be back here to hang out with friends! read more

I had never been to Two Roads before, but chose them as the venue for my husband's surprise 30th birthday party - and I could not be happier! We worked with Ronnie, who was an absolutely flawless collaborator. There was no question he could not answer or problem he could not solve - including helping a very pregnant lady (me) get all of her party supplies upstairs! Knowing that my husband is a huge pumpkin spice fan, Ronnie went above and beyond to bring in their pumpkin beer to the Vault Room for him, even though it was for the tasting room only - so conscientious and thoughtful! Because I was pregnant and could not taste what I heard were delicious beers, Ronnie also made sure a non-alcoholic beer was available for me to feel like part of the fun. Our party was in the beautiful Vault Room, which was the perfect size for our 50 guests. It would be a great space for a bridal/baby shower, rehearsal dinner, or birthday party for sure! The vibe was very cool and could have totally stood on its own even without decoration. It had its own private unisex bathroom as well as immediate access to hallway bathrooms, the gift shop, and the tasting room. We were able to play our own music, set up a projector, and even have cornhole going. So, from planning to setup and breakdown, every part of our party at Two Roads was fabulous. Every guest enjoyed the variety of delicious beers, the cool vibe of the space, and the atmosphere of fun Two Roads creates. I would highly recommend Two Roads for any event! read more

Two Roads was an amazing spontaneous choice on a nice Saturday afternoon. Two Roads was not busy at all like I expected from other reviews. We were greeted immediately and asked if we wanted to sign up for the tour. That was the main reason for our visit so we immediately signed up before spots were taken. My husband and I grabbed two 4oz beers each after signing up for the 1:30 tour and sat at a wooden spool table. The bartenders were quick and kept everyone hydrated. Our beer tasted great and we were ready to learn how Two Roads makes their beer. The party of 5 never showed up to the shared tour which was great because my husband and I had one on one attention with the knowledgeable tour guide (who also is hands on with crafting the beer). We got to try two other beers during the tour (probably got 6oz total each which is really generous) and smell the dark and light wheat and hops, which was really neat! The tour was probably 30 minutes but we learned a lot AND got to see one of the new beers in production. After our tour, we received two coins to take to Area 2 Experimental Brewing next door (about a 5 minute walk) for two free 4oz beers. We definitely didn't go home dry that day but we did go home happy after trying so many different types of beer. read more

Two Roads Brewing - Haze - Breweries Near Me - Stratford, Connecticut

Two Roads Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in Stratford, Connecticut in December 2012. It was founded by business partners Brad Hittle, brewmaster Phil Markowski, Clement Pellani and Peter Doering. Prior to careers in the beer industry, the four partners had either worked as engineers or in the offshore drilling industry. Markowski got into homebrewing in the 1980s and eventually decided to go into brewing as a new career. He worked at several breweries over the years and in the process won several medals and wrote a book on Farmhouse Ales. Hittle and Pellani did marketing for beer brands such as PBR, Rolling Rock, and Lone Star. Eventually the four got together with a dream of starting their own craft brewery. The location they picked to house their dream was the 100-year-old U.S. Baird Factory in Stratford. Both the name of the brewery and their slogan "The Road Less Traveled" are references to the Robert Frost poem "The Road Not Taken". They don't just think of it as their slogan, it's the philosophy for everything that they do. Since opening, Two Roads has become not just the largest brewery in Connecticut but also one of the Top 50 independent craft breweries in the United States (out of 8,000+). I recently rode my bicycle down to Two Roads in time for their noon opening. It's a 30-mile trek from my house so I was very thirsty. The brewery is very special to me because I actually had a part-time job there as a bar back from 2014-2015. Although I no longer work in the craft beer industry, I definitely learned a lot from my time there. I still like to stop by every now and then and see all of the changes and additions they make. Compared to when I worked there, their roster of beers has grown immensely. After looking over the menu, I decided to order their "Hazy Flight" of various hazy New England IPAs. This included "Lil' Juicy", "Cloud Sourced", "Hay-Z-Boy", "Two Juicy" and "Mega Juicy". I enjoyed them all but the latter was my favorite of the bunch. It's always good to get back to my old stomping grounds and try their new offerings. read more

My wife and I stopped into Two Roads today rather spontaneously because we were in the area and had some time to kill, so we decided to see about doing the brewery tour or maybe just visit the tasting room. We walked in the front door, up some stairs, and past a party room where they were holding a baby shower (fun idea). We signed up for the tour at the gift shop and then each ordered a couple 4oz samples in the tasting room while we waited. Lucky for us, the other group was a no-show so we received a private tour where we could bombard the guide with a million questions and take our time inspecting every stage of the process. We were given a couple more samples while on the tour, then when it concluded we received a couple wooden tokens to be exchanged for free samples at Area 2, their experimental brewery division down the street. So we took the short 4 minute walk down the street to Area 2 where we redeemed our tokens. The experimental beer menu was so enticing that we also ordered a flight. The $10 Chips & Salsa also really hit the spot. Five different salsas to choose from (jalapeño pineapple was great!) and a whole bag of chips was such a pleasant surprise. I'm a little upset that I've slept on this place for so many years! They weren't busy on a beautiful Saturday afternoon so the service was immediate, and the entire staff was friendly and helpful from start to finish. This is how you run a business! read more

One of the top microbreweries in the country and I am here to sing it's praises. No food just beer - feel free to bring your own beer or buy from the food trucks - can be a very lively social setting with a nice crowd. They know and love their beer and it shows in their enthusiasm, creativity, their sophistication and expertise, and clean and marvelously organized facility. Do take the tour you will learn so much about the process of making high quality brew and what differentiates between them. Lots of tastings and lecture about the process and individual beers along the way - when I asked they even showed me their cool PerkinElmer ICP MS quality control instrumentation Go. Great fun and beer in a beer cathedral. read more

I learned that this is one of the biggest brewery in the state of CT and main distro to many other brands. Average size place and like most breweries, reasonably priced. Flights cost $12 for 5 options. Seating was a bit challenging on this Sunday afternoon. The upstairs bathroom in the rear is unisex as a heads up. Overall, enjoyed my experience and most of my IPA samples for the day. read more

I have been to Two Roads on multiple occasions but had to go again recently to check out the TwoConn collaboration as a UCONN alum... the beer, as advertised, is light and easy to drink; which I appreciated as I am not the biggest of beer drinkers. There is ample parking and usually a food truck on site... you are also able to bring your own snacks. The taproom is cozy and rustic; although it is large seating does fill up. Prices are fair, staff is friendly. A great place to spend your afternoon or evening. read more
