Two Roads Brewing Company was founded in 2012 by four friends who dreamed for years of starting a craft brewery. We foster a “road less traveled” philosophy in the beers we make and how we make them. In that spirit, Phil Markowski, our award-winning Brewmaster and 27 year craft beer veteran has created an extensive lineup that takes a unique twist on classic beer styles. Two Roads was named one of the ten best breweries in America by Paste Magazine and has won many awards including gold for Belgian Lambic style Ale in 2016 at the Great American Beer Festival.
Two Roads isn’t just the logo on our brewery building, it’s our philosophy. Life always seems to offer up two ways to go. It just so happens, we prefer the one less taken and having some fun along the way – in our lives, our careers and especially for our beers! Now our “road less traveled” philosophy is being brought to life in the beers that we create and how we create them.
Brad Hittle
Brad’s own road in life took a detour on the road less traveled when after getting a college degree, he immediately decided that working on an offshore drilling ship in Southeast Asia would be a better way to launch into life. He later got his MBA degree at Kellogg and then spent time in the corporate world at Johnson & Johnson and Unilever— but he quickly learned that beer was a lot more fun and interesting. Brad’s career in beer most recently included being the Chief Marketing Officer at the Pabst Brewing Company until 2010, where he lead the success of brands like PBR, Lone Star and Primo, among others. Prior to that, he worked on marketing for Rolling Rock. If ever there was somebody with beer in his veins, it’s Brad. And of course we don’t mean that literally!
Phil Markowski
Master Brewer Phil Markowski comes from an engineering background. After dabbling in home brewing and winning a few competitions back in the 1980’s Phil made the bright decision to go into the craft beer world as a career. A long career at various breweries has led to dozens of medals from the GABF and WBC, along with many other medals at regional and international competitions. Phil also wrote the book on Farmhouse Ales, literally, and is thrilled to be in his dream job: working with friends to create a brewery from scratch with state-of-the-art equipment.
Clement Pellani
After starting his career working as an engineer in the F18 radar lab at McDonnell Douglas, Clem quickly took a left turn and got on a more fulfilling road that led to a career in beer (and happiness). In addition to having a brewing degree from the Siebel Institute of Technology, Clem’s beer experience includes marketing at Labatt USA on the Rolling Rock and Labatt brands where he developed a line of craft beers. He also headed marketing and sales at New England Brewing Company, worked as a Marketing Director at E. & J. Gallo Winery, and was a consultant to Pabst Brewing Company on their new craft portfolio introductions.
Peter Doering
Peter spent the last nine years as CFO and Project Financial Manager at a large regional shipyard in Connecticut. While there he coordinated the construction of a 280-foot motor-yacht, the largest luxury yacht ever built in America. Ironically, early in his career, Peter took the road less traveled, working his way up the ladder to foreman on an offshore drilling ship in Angola. How that translated into an MBA is worth ponder, but Peter did go and get one from Harvard which he now uses to win games of “Liar’s Poker” and calculate cost per mile in his 2004 Ford Explorer. He makes sure the other three guys don’t give away too much beer to friends.
John Rehm
Director of Brewing Operations
John grew up in Stratford but spent much of his early career in Philadelphia, PA where he mastered the art and science of brewing great beer. He is now finally back home and living the dream at Two Roads.
He hopes to one day drive the Two Roads float in the Stratford 4th of July Parade.

Truly love helping to make all of the fantastic beers at Two Roads, and being able to watch co-workers faces when I make them drink off-flavor beer under the guise of "sensory training".

Shift Brewer
After more than a decade I realized that playing music and looking at spreadsheets in the service of distributing the tools with which to produce it are two vastly different tasks. One really fun; the other not so much. In considering that producing things for people to enjoy is as enjoyable as enjoying the things people produce to be consumed for enjoyment I decided I should enjoy what I do every day. So...here I am.
Kaleb Remski

Kaleb is a Long Island native who came across the sound for a woman, and found a brewery. He fell in love with craft beer and began home-brewing many years ago. Now he is making his passion a reality and loving every minute of it! Prost, Slanche and all the rest!

The basketball great Michael middle name “Air” Jordan and my mother share a birthday, so I like to pretend he is my father in some non-skill absorbent way.
My favorite thing in life: cereal, specifically Captain Crunch. Horatio Magellan Crunch is a grain eating adventurer much as myself. And it doesn’t cut the roof of your mouth, that’s slander and libel spread by soft cereal.
If I was a beer I would be retailed at 5.99 a six pack and have the aroma of barely millennial with the taste of avocado toast.
