Storm the Field

Storm the Field, as we mentioned here – Troegs Brewing Teams Up with Sworn Brewing, Antifragile Brewing, and Warwick Farms Brewing for Storm the Field – was brewed for the Hoppy Valley Brewfest. I got to try the beer out, both on draft, and in can before the brewfest, and then at the brewfest I brought the remainder of the four pack for the hotel, and we all got to try it – Josh, Drew, Amy, and I, while playing board games.

From our Storm the Field article:

A couple of weeks ago we announced and shared information on our social media pages of Sworn Brewing, Antifragile brewing, and Warwick Farm Brewing being at the Troegs Brewery to collaborate on an upcoming beer for the Hoppy Valley Brewfest. The three visiting breweries met up at Troegs Brewery to brew a West Coast Double IPA. Part of a series of collaborations for the year that Troegs Brewing is doing (they’ve also collaborated with Dewy Beer Co, Tonewood Brewing, Free Will Brewing, and more).

Troegs Tasting Notes: Brewed in collaboration with Antifragile, Warwick Farm and Sworn brewing companies, we’re celebrating at the 50-yard line with this Double IPA. Storm the Field leans into juicier, modern West Coast-style flavors atop the pilsner and Vienna malt bill. Azacca, Nectaron and Citra hops build notes of nectarine, peach and a touch of pine. Crisp but not intensely bitter, WE ARE … pouring this at the inaugural Hoppy Valley Brewers Fest.

Untappd Description: Brewed in collaboration with Antifragile, Warwick Farm and Sworn brewing companies, we’re celebrating at the 50-yard line with this Double IPA. Storm the Field leans into juicier, modern West Coast-style flavors atop the pilsner and Vienna malt bill. Azacca, Nectaron and Citra hops build notes of nectarine, peach and a touch of pine. Crisp but not intensely bitter, WE ARE … pouring this at the inaugural Hoppy Valley Brewers Fest.

Overview:
“Storm the Field” is a collaboration between Tröegs Independent Brewing and three other Pennsylvania breweries—Antifragile Brewing, Warwick Farm Brewing, and Sworn Brewing. This West Coast-style Double IPA is brewed to celebrate the inaugural Hoppy Valley Brewers Fest, bringing a unique blend of flavors to the table.

Appearance:
This beer pours a golden amber color, with a slightly hazy appearance and a frothy white head that leaves a nice lacing on the glass.

Aroma:
On the nose, “Storm the Field” offers a vibrant bouquet of citrus and stone fruits. The Azacca, Nectaron, and Citra hops contribute notes of nectarine, peach, and a hint of pine, creating an inviting and aromatic profile.

Taste:
This Double IPA is crisp yet not overly bitter, striking a balance with its juicy West Coast flavors. The malt bill of pilsner and Vienna malts provides a sturdy backbone that allows the hop character to shine through without overwhelming the palate. Expect flavors of ripe peach and nectarine, with subtle pine undertones.

Mouthfeel:
At 9.2% ABV, the beer has a medium to full body, offering a smooth and slightly resinous mouthfeel. It’s both refreshing and satisfying, making it a good choice for those who enjoy a well-rounded Double IPA.

Overall Impression:
“Storm the Field” is a standout beer, especially for fans of West Coast IPAs. The collaboration between the four breweries results in a brew that is both flavorful and well-balanced, making it a great addition to any beer enthusiast’s lineup.

Sworn Brewing

Sworn Brewing is a new brewery (not even a year old yet) from Mechanicsburg, PA. Fast getting a name for themselves for their incredible beers. To get a look at their brewery from when we had a sneak peek before they opened, check out our article here:

• Getting Sworn In: A Sneak Peek at Sworn Brewing Company
• Troegs Brewing Teams Up with Sworn Brewing, Antifragile Brewing, and Warwick Farms Brewing for Storm the Field

Antifragile Brewing

Another fantastic brewery, from the heart of State College, PA. We got to visit Antifragile last November after Amy’s Alzheimer’s Walk to End ALZ in State College, and its a great brewery with amazing beers. Definitely check them out when you are up in the area.

Warwick Farm Brewing

Warwick Farm Brewing is located in Jamison, PA on a wonderful farm brewery setting. With gorgeous views, fantastic beers, it is a fantastic brewery to get to visit, drink, and hang out at. Picnic tables outside, large open spaces outside and inside, perfect summer drinking spot.
