It started as a wild idea—a challenge thrown around the brewery late one night. “What if beer could be even more portable? What if we didn’t need kegs, bottles, or cans at all?” At first, it sounded like a joke. But at Two Roads, we don’t just dream—we innovate and take the Road Less Traveled. And that’s how Two Roads Powdered Beer was born.
A Brewing Breakthrough
For years, our brewing team has taken the Road Less Traveled, but this was something different. It required rethinking the very essence of beer—breaking it down to its core elements and rebuilding it in a way no one else had ever attempted.
“We wanted to take everything people love about craft beer—real malt, real hops, bold flavors—and put it into a form that could go anywhere,” says Phil Markowski, our Master Brewer. “So we asked ourselves: What if beer didn’t need to be liquid until the moment you wanted to drink it?”
After countless test batches, experiments, and a few happy accidents, we cracked the code. Using a proprietary dehydration process, we found a way to retain the integrity of our beers while transforming them into a lightweight, travel-ready powder.
The Science Behind Powdered Beer
“This was no easy feat,” Markowski explains. “The challenge was maintaining the delicate balance of malt sweetness and hop bitterness without compromising the aromas that make craft beer so distinctive. We used a controlled low-temperature dehydration method that removes moisture while preserving essential flavor compounds.”
The powder is designed to instantly dissolve in water, reforming the exact chemical structure of the original brew. “Think of it like freeze-dried coffee, but way more complex,” Markowski adds. “Hops contain volatile oils that contribute to aroma, and malt sugars provide body. We found a way to lock those in, so when you rehydrate it, the beer is as close as possible to what you’d pour from a tap.”
What’s In the Pack?
Each variety pack contains powdered versions of some of our most beloved brews:
- Road 2 Ruin Double IPA – Bold, hoppy, and packed with flavor.
- Cruise Control Lager – Crisp, smooth, and perfectly balanced.
- Two Juicy Hazy IPA – Bursting with juicy, citrusy hop character.
How It Works
Two Roads Powdered Beer is as easy as it sounds:
- Just add water – Mix with 12oz of cold water, stir or shake, and enjoy.
- Customize your pour – Add more or less water to adjust flavor intensity.
- Drink it dry (if you dare) – A concentrated, bold beer experience unlike anything else.
A Game-Changer for Craft Beer
“This isn’t just a novelty—it’s a new way to experience craft beer,” Markowski adds. “No one else has done this. It’s a game-changer for how people drink, share, and transport beer.”
And just like that, Two Roads Powdered Beer is ready to change the way you drink. Whether you’re hiking, traveling, or just looking for a new way to enjoy your favorite brews, the future of craft beer is now available—one packet at a time.
