Two Roads Brewing expands Connecticut campus with golf simulators, cabanas, more

Two Roads Brewing Co. has made some cool additions to its brewery campus in Stratford, Conn. — a mix of indoor fun and outdoor lounging — to enhance its aura as a destination for on-site consumption and general good times in any season.

As I type this, it is 30 degrees outside, so I am starting with this: the new Two Roads Tee Box. Located just alongside the brewery’s recently-opened Food Hall + Bar, this full-on golf simulator, with Augusta National among 300 iconic courses all over the world, can be reserved by the hour and booked for private events. With space for six golfers, rentable clubs and delivery of food, beer and cocktails from the Food Hall next door, there’s something for everyone, from beginner duffers to scratch handicappers.

“In true road-less-traveled form, we’re always thinking about how our campus experience can go beyond what our fans might expect,” said Ben Paré, Director of Hospitality of Two Roads Brewing Co. “Our latest additions were inspired by all the places our fans enjoy Two Roads – from the golf course to the comforts of their own home or backyard – and give them tastes of those experiences right here at the brewery.”

Other recent additions to the campus include:

• A family-friendly lounge in the brewery’s main Tasting Room. With comfortable leather couches and three new hi-def TVs, the lounge offers a more relaxed space for guests to sit back and unwind with the whole family, right down to highchairs for the littlest ones.
• A new shuffleboard table. Also located in the Tasing Room, indoor shuffleboard means never having to wait for warm or dry days. Community tables have also been added throughout the space to give guests even more seating options for drinking, eating, hanging-out and board-gaming.
• For warmer months, a suite of five cabanas located outside in the Hop Yard is available first come first serve or to reserve for large gatherings in the summer months during festivals and events. Each cabana can fit up to ten guests, who can order from the Hop Yard’s new cocktail menu – including all-new slushie and froze inspired cocktails.

In addition to the campus enhancements, Two Roads is also debuting a revamped menu at its Food Hall + Bar. The new menu includes tacos made with brisket, pork and chicken braised or marinated in Two Roads beer and beverages, artisanal flatbreads, smash burgers and an extended list of “shareable” items perfect for groups.

“We got a lot of great customer feedback over the past couple months,” added Paré. “We’ve worked hand-in-hand with our Director of Culinary, Tim Lonzak, to launch new items that we know our guests will be excited to try, share and enjoy.”
