Remember the news of Phil Markowski’s move to Two Roads Brewing (a new brewing venture started by former Pabst Exec Brad Hittle?) Well it looks like Two roads brewing has received a state grant to rehab a the former US Baird Factory in Stratford Ct. From ctpost":
Two Roads intends to offer public tours culminating with a beer-tasting in the planned sampling room overlooking the brew house. Private events and outdoor festivals may also be hosted on the 6.6-acre site.
Aiding the transformation of the contaminated manufacturing warehouse into a state-of-the-art brew house is a $500,000 state grant recently awarded to the site for remediation.
Hittle and his partners -- Phil Markowski and Peter Doering, both of Connecticut, and Clem Pellani, of California -- say the grant, awarded to the site by the Department of Economic and Community Development, will allow them to refurbish the site simultaneously as it's being remediated. More details here.
I hope this work is being done by union contractors or prevailing rate with that nice grant money!
