A projected drawing of the expansion of Two Roads Brewing Company in Stratford.

Two Roads Brewing Company announced plans to build a 25,000-square-foot building dedicated to sour and barrel aging. The $12 million facility will feature a 50 barrel ROLEC brewhouse, foudres, a coolship and storage for 2,000 wood barrels. The new addition will also feature a tasting room to accommodate 120 visitors overlooking preserved wetlands. This expansion will allow the brewery to increase production on its tropical Lambic Hexotic, Framboise Noir Black Raspberry Lambic, Urban Funk Wild Ale, Worker’s Stomp White Wine Barrel Aged Saison, and new styles. The company will break ground in 2017 and the new facility will open by 2018.
