Two Roads Brewing and Stop & Shop Team Up for Beers & Bites

Proceeds from Charity Dinner will Aid in Stop & Shop’s Food for Friends Campaign That Supports Local Community Members Facing Food Insecurity

Stop & Shop’s 32nd Annual checkout campaign, Food for Friends, is ongoing this June, and local brewery, Two Roads Brewing, is joining in to assist in the fight against food insecurity. All donations raised by the Food for Friends campaign at Connecticut Stop & Shop stores will benefit Connecticut’s largest food bank, Connecticut Foodshare and its partner agencies. To further aid Connecticut Foodshare, Two Roads Brewery and Stop & Shop have teamed up to host a first-of-its-kind charity Beers & Bites tasting on Friday, June 10.

Beers & Bites, which will begin at 5:30pm in Two Roads’ Area Two, will offer attendees an assortment of carefully selected Two Roads brews paired with various Stop & Shop private label Nature’s Promise, 1855 Black Angus Beef, and Taste of Inspirations appetizers and entrees.

“Food insecurity is an issue for so many across Connecticut, and it’s exciting when local companies can come together to build a stronger community network with a goal of helping neighbors in need,” said Maura O’Brien, Stop & Shop’s External Communications Manager. “Stop & Shop is proud to support Connecticut Foodshare year-round but working to further combat food insecurity in this unique way with Two Roads is an exciting new approach. We look forward to seeing many community members on June 10.”

"Both Stop & Shop and Two Roads are built around the members of the Connecticut community. To partner together and give back for all they have given us is truly an exciting opportunity,” said Brian Duprey, Senior Director at Two Roads Brewing. “We are honored to work together in a unique way through both the program and our exciting beer dinner, to provide a donation that helps Connecticut Foodshare provide meals to those in need."

“This event is an example of two organizations working together to make a great impact in their community. We are grateful for their continued support of our mission and our vision of a thriving community free of hunger,” said Monica Obrebski, Connecticut Foodshare’s Chief Marketing and Communications Officer.
