Area Two Experimental Brewing

(203) 335-2010

Signature Beer: If you want signature brands, go next door

Five-second Description: This is just a short walk from Two Roads, but I feel many people miss it.  It is a lot nice and newer than it parent Two Roads, however, you should visit both.  They have some beers that you can try that you most likely will not see again.  A nice outdoor patio and an amazing barrel room. They do have food across the street.

Why you should go:  To try some real interesting experimental Two Roads beer.  They also have some standard beers as well if you are not feeling daring.

Signature Beer:  Run Wild IPA

Five-second Description: The setting is an industrial area in a metal building.  The inside is spacious and modern and there are some tables outside next to the parking lot.  They are a non-alcoholic brewery that brews beers with less than 0.5% alcohol.

Why you should go: The only craft non-alcohol brewery that I know of.  Good beer without the buzz.

Signature Beer: Road 2 Ruin Double IPA

Five second Description: This is an amazing and large brewery.  It is so popular it feels more like a large bar than a brewery (which is not a bad thing). They coordinate food trucks all the time and sell snacks at the bar.  They do a lot of contract brewing including “Sip of Sunshine”.

Why you should go: There is always something going .
