Two Roads Brewing Co.

Two Roads Brewing Co. is the latest beer company to hit the craft beer scene in Massachusetts. Hailing from Stratford, Connecticut this brewery has an unique philosophy of "taking the road less traveled." This way of life has led Two Roads to create refreshing and fun beer.

For year-round offerings there are six beer styles to choose from:

Ol' Factory Pils

Lil Heaven Session IPA

Road to Ruin Double IPA

Workers Comp Saison

No Limits Hefeweizen

Honeyspot Road White IPA  

The two seasonal options to be released this Fall are Ok2berfest and Roadsmary's Baby. If you enjoy pumpkin beers, make sure you try Roadsmary's Baby. It is a traditional pumpkin ale that is aged in rum barrels. The result is a complex flavor profile of pumpkin, spices, vanilla and oak. Since Two Roads just came to this state two months ago, I have not been able to sample what sounds like a solid pumpkin beer... so stay tuned for a review.

I am partial to the No Limits Hefeweizen for the summer months because of its light nature. Yet, the Road to Ruin Double IPA is the stand out in the group. It pours a hazy orange with a slightly off-white fluffy head. On the nose, classic DIPA aromas: piney, floral, tropical fruit notes accentuated by some caramel malt. The beer tastes of a light to medium sweetness, while the hops provide notes of tropical fruit. On the finish it leaves a fresh bitter hops finish with a bite of a boozy bite.

If you live in Massachusetts be sure to look for Two Roads beer, or better yet take a drive to Connecticut and visit the brewery (they even have a food truck there)!
