Troegs Brewing Releasing Cordial Elf

The Most Cordial Elf

The Elf has gone from being mad to Cordial now. Aww, how sweet. And just in time for Valentine’s Day! As Troegs Independent Craft Brewing recently announced – they will be releasing “Cordial Elf” this Thursday (2.9.23) for the first time ever.

This Cordial Elf will join the ranks of:

• Mad Elf
• Naked Elf
• Wild Elf
• Mad Elf Grand Cru
• Chocolate Elf (Mad Elf and Grand Cacao)
• Mad Dreams (Mad Elf and Dream Weaver)

(There was also a ton of different variants of the above, firkins with different hops or other ingredients added, and the such throughout the years.)

Release Announcement

From Troegs Independent Craft Brewing’s Facebook page:

Only at Tröegs – it’s Cordial Elf! Starting Thursday, find this new twist on everyone’s favorite holiday ale. Starting with the cherries and honey you already love, we aged Elf on cacao nibs and vanilla. Then, after fermentation, we added more Bing, Lambert, Van, Royal Ann and Montmorency cherries, bestowing a frothy, market-fresh juiciness. Fall madly in love with notes of a luscious bonbon. Just here in Hershey in limited 16-oz. cans or on draft in the Tasting Room. Two 4-pack per person limit. troegs.com/visit #CordialElf #MadElf #Troegs

Thanks For Reading

As always, thank you everyone for reading! Today was a busy day with work and the site blowing up with the news of LoveDraft’s Brewery Being Sabotaged. That’s certainly horrible news. So I’m glad this is at least a little bit more upbeat. The site and blog certainly have been busy. I hope you all have been liking all of the articles that we’ve been writing and posting.

If you do like the articles and our writing, please be sure to like, follow, subscribe, comment, share, etc, etc, etc. It really does help. Its all free, and it helps us with the various Google, Facebook, metaverse, etc, algorithms.

Speaking of writing – we’ve been approached by a few breweries and marketing groups for writing projects. So stay tuned for more information on these projects coming soon.

One week done with the month and we have been very busy. 2023 is turning out to be a much busier year for the blog. Ironically – it seems that we are doing less travel this year than last year (thanks Scarlet…). Doing more and more writing, but not hitting the road for travelogues and other activities, and not doing as much out and about as we did last year. By this point last year we had went to the Cushwa 5th Anniversary Celebration Beerfest, did a big trip through Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania, as well as separate trips to Virginia. This year so far we’ve just made the one trip out to Hackensack and Little Ferry for Hackensack Brewing, Brix City Brewing, and The Alementary.

But don’t worry, we are definitely going to be doing a lot of trips once the weather starts warming up. We have the Craft Brewers Conference in Nashville in May. The annual trip to AC for the AC Beer and Music Fest. As well as planning a big trip up through Vermont, New Hampshire, etc.

So there will certainly be a lot of articles and travelogues for the year. I promise!
