Two Brothers expands brewery, distribution

WARRENVILLE - Two Brothers Brewing Company said it plans to add three new 200-barrel fermenters to its brewery in Warrenville.

The additions will increase Two Brothers' brewing capacity to 88,000 barrels.

The three fermenters, which are made by Paul Mueller Company in Springfield, Missouri, will be installed and online by the end of May.

"This new equipment will allow us to continue our growth and have the beer needed to satisfy the marketplace." Two Brothers Brewing Company co-founder Jason Ebel said. "Investing in our facility and our company is part of our long-term plan. We believe in controlled growth that benefits everyone involved."

Two Brothers Brewing Company is also expanding nationally, beginning distribution in Connecticut. Full distribution has just launched through Sarene Craft Beer Distributors.

"We are very excited to be included in Sarene's portfolio as they work toward becoming the premier craft beer wholesaler for the state," said Ebel. "We have been eager to expand our presence in the Northeast. There has been a lot of demand for our products in that area."

Connecticut joins Illinois, Florida, Indiana, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Arizona as the 12th state to offer Two Brothers beer.
