Some look at the idle, old manufacturing buildings that dot the landscape throughout New England and see blight. When we saw the proud old “U.S. Baird Building”, we saw a beautiful symbol of America’s past manufacturing might, and the opportunity to revitalize a great piece of history (Not to mention an ideal building for a brewery)!
Our brewery features everything from a large tasting room to enjoy our beers, to many cool spaces for events and private parties – all revitalized with care taken to reclaim and reuse as much of the original materials as possible and to keep the original character intact and functional for modern use.
See our FAQs for more information about our tours.
We’re also closed on Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, and open only until 5 pm on Christmas Eve & New Year’s Eve.

This is a common and perfectly reasonable question that we often get asked. When the fermentation and aging of a beer are completed the next phase before packaging is filtration. Filtration is necessary because a certain amount of yeast or hops have settled to the bottom of the fermenting vessel. At Two Roads we choose to only partially filter our products in order to preserve the maximum degree of fresh beer flavor. This is typical of many craft breweries who tend to emphasize flavor and aroma over appearance. The more aggressively you filter a beer the more the delicate flavor components tend to be taken out of the product.
Sediment found in bottles occurs over time and is entirely safe and natural. It is not unlike the pulp sediment that accumulates at the bottom of a container of fresh-squeezed fruit juice. It is a sign of an unprocessed food product.
Sediment can be more pronounced in a highly hopped beer such as our Road 2 Ruin, Honeyspot Road IPA and Ol’ Factory Pils. This is because hops form a precipitate over time that may settle to the bottom of the bottle. Craft brewers refer to this as the “snow globe effect”. You won’t see this in a large industrial brewery as their approach favors appearance over flavor.
Remember, this sediment is completely safe to consume. It’s presence simply indicates a beer that has only been lightly filtered. Some people choose to mix it in when pouring into a glass while others prefer to decant off the sediment when pouring. It’s a “dealers choice”!
We occasionally offer internships. Please refer to our careers page for current openings.
Brewmaster Phil Markowski has taken a “bahn” less traveled to create our version of the classic Bavarian wheat brew –perfect for the warming temperatures. Beautifully cloudy with a generous head of foam, a wonderful fruit aroma and a dry finish, our Hefeweizen is a refreshing version of the original; with just a little bit more of everything.

A big, hoppy Double IPA with plenty of bite! Our assertive, hop-centric Road 2 Ruin is our take on a classic West Coast IPA. With a lean malt character and brewed with six Pacific Northwest hop varieties including Cascade, Centennial, Amarillo and Citra, this beer is not for the timid!

Live life in the slow lane with the ultimate easy riding lager. Malt-forward in character, exhibiting bready, toasted grain aromas, and a herbal hop character with a subtle bitterness and a hint of sweetness.

Traditional in concept with a Two Roads twist…dry hops. We use a combination of classic German as well as American hop and malt varieties in our Pils. We renovated a 100 year-old factory building and designed this Pils to have “extra” aroma…so, pardon the pun! Crisp…refreshing…refined.
