In that spirit, Phil Markowski, their award-winning Brewmaster and 25 year craft beer veteran, has created an extensive lineup that takes a unique twist on classic beer styles.
“We are excited to have the opportunity to team up with Two Roads Brewing in the Maryland and Washington, DC markets,” commented Erin Taylor, General Manager of Legends Limited. “Their reputation, commitment, and level of quality are what attracted us to the brand and we look forward to a successful partnership with their amazing team of people. Their fantastic line-up of beers will make a great addition to our existing portfolio.”

ABOUT SPECIALTY BEVERAGE
Originally founded in 1991, Specialty Beverage began distributing craft and imported beer, cider, wine and non-alcoholic beverages throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. Over the next two decades, as consumer interest and demand for these quality products continued to accelerate, Specialty Beverage was acquired by the Sheehan Family Companies in 2009.
ABOUT LEGENDS LIMITED
Originally founded in 1994, Legends Limited had their beginnings when Pat and Sherri Casey could not find a reputable distributor in the Maryland area for their imported brands. Legends’ first warehouse was located at the old National Brewery building in Brewers Hill, Baltimore. In 2009, they were acquired by the Sheehan Family Companies. Legends Limited proudly offers a portfolio of craft brands, ciders, imported brands, and craft spirits. Legends is committed to working with the best suppliers and to providing the highest levels of customer service and satisfaction to their retailing partners in the Maryland and Washington, DC markets.
