Two Brothers Tap House & Brewery’s new executive chef, Josh Downing, unveiled a revamped menu packed with nearly a dozen new elevated dishes that complement the brewery’s handcrafted artisan craft beers.
Core favorites like the Chimichurri Nachos, Waffle BLT and others remain, but diners will be pleasantly surprised to find more vegetarian options, out-of-the-box appetizers, and chef-driven specialties.
