Two Roads Brewing Company is hosting a short horror film competition that showcases our spooky good rum-barrel-aged pumpkin beer, Roadsmary’s Baby! Here is your chance to submit a short, independent horror film that features egregiously gratuitous product placement of Roadsmary’s Baby and other Two Roads items in your own film.

The first, second, and third place winners will be announced and awarded during the Screening Party!
