Tröegs Partners With Patagonia Provisions To Introduce Kernza® Lager Releases

Patagonia Provisions – Troegs Brewing and Patagonia team up for Kernza Lager series

Tröegs Independent Brewing is excited to announce its latest collaboration with Patagonia Provisions, the food and beverage division of the renowned outdoor apparel company, Patagonia. This innovative partnership has given rise to a new lager-style beer, brewed with the regenerative perennial grain, Kernza®.

A Unique Partnership for Sustainability

Last summer, Patagonia Provisions introduced its pilot brewery partnership program, collaborating with independent craft breweries across the United States. Each brewery has been tasked with creating region-specific beers using Regenerative Organic Certified Kernza and other organic ingredients. Tröegs Independent Brewing now joins this pioneering initiative, alongside twenty other breweries, to promote the use of regenerative and organic ingredients. This effort aims to enhance soil health, restore ecosystems, and foster a sustainable food chain.

“This is our first time brewing with this unique grain,” shares John Trogner, co-founding brother and brewmaster at Tröegs. “Fifteen percent of the grain bill is Kernza, which we combine with organic Pilsner malt to build a crisp backbone.” The result is a remarkably drinkable lager, lightly hopped with organic Perle hops. It boasts notes of rustic crackers, bright wildflowers, and a touch of grassiness, making it a refreshing choice for beer enthusiasts.

Commitment to Local and Sustainable Ingredients

For over 26 years, Tröegs has remained dedicated to its core values of independence and family ownership. This commitment is echoed by Paul Lightfoot, General Manager of Patagonia Provisions, who states, “They support their local farmers in central Pennsylvania, buying more than 225,000 pounds of local grain, honey, and fruit every year.” This collaboration not only highlights Tröegs’ dedication to local agriculture but also aligns with Patagonia’s mission of environmental stewardship.

Exclusive Availability

Kernza Lager is now available exclusively on draft at Tröegs Independent Brewery in Hershey, PA. Beer aficionados and sustainability advocates alike can enjoy this exceptional brew while supporting a movement towards a more sustainable and organic future.

They are releasing these in very small batches (less than five kegs each) when they release them, so get to the brewery when they get tapped because they will definitely be going fast.
