Two Roads Brewing Announces Philadelphia Launch Week In April

imageFrom Two Roads:

PHILADELPHIA, PA – Two Roads Brewing is bringing their “road less traveled” philosophy to the greater Philadelphia area with an amazing week of beer tastings and special events!  Beginning on Tuesday, April 7 and running through Saturday, April 11, Two Roads brewers and ambassadors, including Head Brewer Phil Markowski, will be making the trek from Connecticut for this celebration of great craft beer.

Two Roads, in partnership with Muller, Inc., importer of fine beers, will be bringing some of their most creative offerings to the Philadelphia market.  Featured styles will include:  Road 2 Ruin, a bold double IPA brewed with seven hop varieties;  No Limits Hefeweizen, a Bavarian wheat ale with wonderful fruit aroma and a dry finish; Ol’ Factory Pils, a traditional pilsner dry-hopped with German and American hops;  Worker’s Comp Saison, an intensely fruity farmhouse ale that is refreshing and slightly spicy; Lil’ Heaven, a session IPA with an exotic hop profile and tropical fruit flavor;  Honeyspot Road White IPA, a wheat IPA, brewed with an American ale yeast and no spices;  Unorthodox Russian Imperial Stout, a full-bodied stout aggressively hopped with notes of rye, chocolate and espresso;  20 Ton, a blonde barleywine brewed with heirloom malts;  Igor’s Dream, a Russian Imperial stout made with rye and aged in oak whiskey barrels; and Henry’s Farm, a traditional doppelbock with clean malt flavor and incredible balance.
