Pennsylvania craft beer has always had a strong relationship with lagers, and Tröegs Pennsylvania Lager fits right into that tradition. It’s a beer that doesn’t try to force the issue or show off too hard; instead, it focuses on being clean, balanced, and easy to enjoy. That approach works especially well here, because this is the kind of beer that can quietly become a regular go-to.

First Impressions

The beer pours with a bright, classic lager appearance that immediately suggests refreshment. It looks crisp in the glass, and that first visual impression lines up nicely with what the beer delivers once you take a sip. There’s a straightforward charm to it that makes it feel familiar in the best possible way.

Aroma

The nose is subtle but inviting, with grainy malt notes leading the way. There’s a clean, fresh quality to the aroma that keeps the beer from feeling too soft or too neutral. It gives you the sense that this is a carefully made lager, one that values precision and drinkability.

Flavor and Mouthfeel

The flavor profile is smooth and well-composed, centered around a solid malt backbone with a crisp finish. It doesn’t overload the palate, and that restraint is part of what makes it work so well. The body lands in a comfortable middle ground, giving the beer enough presence to feel satisfying without becoming heavy.

The mouthfeel is especially important here because it reinforces the beer’s overall sense of balance. Each sip feels clean and steady, which makes it easy to keep reaching for the glass. That kind of drinkability is often what separates a good lager from a forgettable one.

Overall Impression

Tröegs Pennsylvania Lager succeeds because it understands what it wants to be. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel, and it doesn’t need to. Instead, it offers a polished, reliable lager experience with enough character to keep it interesting and enough restraint to make it highly drinkable.

For fans of well-made Pennsylvania beer, this one is worth checking out. It’s the kind of release that feels equally at home on a casual weeknight or alongside a good meal, and that versatility makes it an easy recommendation.

Rating: 4.25 out of 5 pints

Tröegs Independent Brewing has announced the statewide release of Pennsylvania Lager, a new year-round beer that is now joining the brewery’s core lineup. The Pennsylvania lager is being added alongside longtime favorites such as Perpetual IPA, Graffiti Highway IPA, and Troegenator Double Bock as part of Tröegs’ expanding portfolio of year-round offerings.

Inspired by the broad appeal of easy-drinking lagers brewed during the pre-Prohibition era, Pennsylvania Lager first began taking shape in April 2023. The beer was developed with a focus on tradition, drinkability, and craftsmanship, making it a natural fit for fans of classic American lager styles and Pennsylvania craft beer.

“Lagers have been a huge part of our DNA since the beginning,” says Tröegs co-founding brother and brewmaster John Trogner. “Beers like Troegenator and Sunshine Pilsner really helped to build our brewery, and they continue to delight today.”

With a long history of brewing acclaimed lagers, Trogner and the Tröegs brewing team aimed to create a retro-inspired beer built for today’s drinkers. Like many of the family-owned brewery’s newer releases, Pennsylvania Lager was developed through Tröegs’ 3-barrel Research & Development brewhouse, known as the Scratch Lab.

“Our Scratch Lab is where we get to tinker with the latest flavors, ingredients, and brewing techniques,” explains Trogner. “After seven different test batches, we landed on a final recipe everyone loved.”

Pennsylvania Lager is brewed with 100% malt and no filler, using decoction mashing, open fermentation, and a Pennsylvania heritage yeast strain. Those traditional brewing methods help give the beer its crisp character, full flavor, and classic lager profile.

“It really caters to folks who just want a refreshing, no-frills beer,” adds Trogner. “But it’s also nuanced enough that beer geeks will appreciate the extra work we put into crafting such a full-flavored beer.”

Pennsylvania Lager has already proven popular in Tröegs’ Tasting Room since its initial brewery-only release in February. At just 5% ABV, the beer is designed to be a crisp, thirst-quenching premium lager with broad appeal for craft beer fans across Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania Lager is now available on draft and in “PA Pounder” 12-packs of 16-ounce cans as well as 6-packs of 12-ounce bottles. It will appear throughout Tröegs’ home-state distribution footprint in the coming weeks, with additional states planned for 2026.

(The following is a press release.)

Tröegs Independent Brewing announces the return of 717 Collaboration Beer, a joint endeavor among the Hershey-based brewery and six other popular local breweries.

717 Collaboration Team Up Photo (showcasing all of the people who worked on the 717 beer) (photo courtesy of Troegs Independent Brewing)

A collaborative effort between Appalachian Brewing, Boneshire Brew Works, Ever Grain Brewing, Pizza Boy Brewing, Wolf Brewing, Zeroday Brewing, and Troegs Independent Brewing, the beer serves as a reminder of the camaraderie that exists among breweries thanks to the thriving craft beer industry in Central Pennsylvania.

Some of the brightest ideas have been developed among sharing stories and laughs with friends over beer. Whether we’re Central PA natives or transplants, we’ve all come together in the 717 with one common goal – to brew great beer and cultivate great friendships.

– John Trogner, Co-founder of Troegs Independent Brewing, and head brewmaster for the 29 year old Central PA brewery – which opened in Harrisburg and then later moved to Hershey

The Resurrection of the 717 Collaboration Beer

As you can see from the team up photo above, the beer was created by Troegs Brewing, Appalachian Brewing, Boneshire Brew Works, Ever Grain Brewing, Pizza  Boy Brewing, Wolf Brewing, ZeroDay Brewing, and YAH Brew, created at the ZeroDay Brewing facility. Also in the picture includes various people from other breweries like Hemauer Brewing, YAH Brew, and helpers such as the Harris Family brewers, and more.

The 717 Collaboration label (photo courtesy of Troegs Independent Brewing, as seen on Untappd and the various websites and social medias of the breweries involved)

Brewed at Zeroday’s brewing facility in Harrisburg, the West Coast-style Pilsner weighs in at 6.3% ABV and highlights Mosaic, Nelson Sauvin, and Solero hops. The beer combines the light, malty and crisp attributes of a pilsner with the hop-forward aroma and dry bitterness of a West Coast-style IPA.

Collaboration brews are always fun. When you put seven breweries in the same place to come up with a recipe, you’re going to generate awesome conversation and ultimately come up with a great beer. It’s proof that beer brings people together, and this collaboration is a reminder of that spirit.

-Hannah Ison, Director of Brewing Operations at Zeroday

Distribution

All seven participating breweries will unveil the 717 Collaboration Beer on Thursday, July 17. The limited beer will be available exclusively on tap at each brewery’s tap room.

 

(Note: This is a press release. This beer’s release also comes on the heels of Appalachian Brewing Company announcing the closing of their Harrisburg Brewpub.)

Java Head Stout by Troegs Brewing (original logo)

Troegs Brewing is Bringing Back a Fan Favorite – Java Head Stout

A fan favorite is coming back to Troegs Independent Brewing – Java Head Stout! Originally replaced by Grand Cacao back in 2020 as the stout on record at Troegs. One of the most frequent questions at the Troegs General Store has been “when is Java Head coming back” and its safe to say — soon!

No official date on the release or when it will be coming back exactly, but there is details to discuss as it is currently fermenting. First, it will most likely be back end of October / beginning of November, and it will be in 16 oz pounder cans rather than the previous bottles. (Like most beers at Troegs Brewery, they have shifted from being produced in bottles to that of cans.) It will also most likely be a temporary or a once and done release, and not become a seasonal or flagship release, and it will also most likely be a brewery exclusive or near brewery exclusive (perhaps a few local distributors like West Connection Beer Vault and Breski’s Beverages getting it as well).

Java Head Stout

From the original entry at Troegs Brewing’s website:

JavaHead is like a day at Tröegs; it’s hard to tell where the coffee ends and the beer begins. This creamy oatmeal stout is infused with locally roasted, cold steeped coffee to release subtle hints of cocoa, roasted nuts and dark mocha.

Java Head Stout – Troegs Website

Its safe to assume that the beer will be nearly identical to the original brew, but might not be 100% the exact same recipe. However, the original was a 7.5% ABV and had 60 IBUs, and used Chocolate, Crystal, Oats, Pilsner, Roast malts and Cascade, Chinook, Cluster hops.

We will release more information when we have a date and when it will be coming out! So be sure to check back soon!

Troegs Independent Brewing – Mad Dreams

Its all a Mad Dream….

For the first time ever, Troegs Independent Brewing is canning Mad Dreams – a combination of Mad Elf and DreamWeaver. A fan favorite in the brewery (and at homes and bars willing to make it), Mad Dreams is a blend of Mad Elf and DreamWeaver. (Other similar concoctions are “Chocolate Elf” which is Grand Cacao and Mad Elf, or Pumpkin Elf; which would be Master of Pumpkins and Mad Elf; and some have done various other ideas over the years like Java Head Stout and Mad Elf, Grand Cru Mad Elf and DreamWeaver, etc.)

Served at the bar either as a 50 / 50 (50% of each) or 60 / 40 (60% Mad Elf / 40% DreamWeaver) for those who want it a bit more ‘cherry’ or ‘higher abv’.

This is the first time though that Troegs Brewing has canned it to go!

Troegs Brewing to Release Mad Dreams This Winter

Exciting news is brewing at Tröegs Independent Brewing in Hershey, PA, as they prepare to launch Mad Dreams, a new variant of their beloved Mad Elf holiday ale. This innovative brew combines the rich flavors of cherries and local honey, resulting in a delightful 50/50 blend of Mad Elf and DreamWeaver wheat. With an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 7.9%, Mad Dreams promises to be a standout in the winter beer lineup, packaged in convenient 12oz cans.

What to Expect from Mad Dreams

  • Flavor Profile: A harmonious blend featuring the sweetness of cherries and the floral notes of local honey.
  • Alcohol Content: 7.9% ABV, making it a robust choice for winter festivities.
  • Packaging: Available in 12oz cans, perfect for sharing or enjoying solo.

As the holiday season approaches, keep an eye out for more details on this exciting release! Tröegs has a tradition of crafting exceptional seasonal beers, and Mad Dreams is sure to become a favorite among craft beer enthusiasts. Be sure to check your local retailers and Tröegs’ distribution channels for availability. Stay tuned for updates on the release date and where you can grab your cans of Mad Dreams this winter!

Mad Dreams vs. Mad Elf: A Flavorful Comparison

Tröegs Independent Brewing’s new release, Mad Dreams, offers a unique twist on the classic Mad Elf ale, making it an exciting addition to the winter beer lineup. Here’s how these two beloved brews differ:

Alcohol Content

  • Mad Elf: This holiday ale boasts a robust 11% ABV, delivering a strong punch that many craft beer lovers appreciate.
  • Mad Dreams: In contrast, Mad Dreams has a slightly lower 7.9% ABV, making it more approachable for those looking to enjoy a festive beer without the higher alcohol content.

Flavor Profile

  • Mad Elf: Known for its rich flavors, Mad Elf is brewed with cherries and honey, complemented by subtle hints of spice. The cherry and honey notes are present but not overwhelming, allowing for a smooth finish with a slight alcohol warmth
  • Mad Dreams: This new variant enhances the original by blending Mad Elf with DreamWeaver Wheat, introducing a refreshing twist. The addition of local honey and cherries remains, but the wheat base adds a lighter, more effervescent character to the beer, making it distinctively different from its predecessor.

Brewing Approach

  • Mad Elf: Traditionally brewed as a once-a-year holiday ale, Mad Elf has become a staple in winter seasonal offerings, celebrated for its complexity and depth.
  • Mad Dreams: As a blend of two existing beers, this variant represents Tröegs’ innovative approach to brewing, showcasing their ability to create new experiences from beloved recipes.

Packaging

  • Both beers are available in 12oz cans, making them convenient for sharing during holiday gatherings or enjoying by the fire.

In summary, while both Mad Dreams and Mad Elf share foundational ingredients of cherries and honey, Mad Dreams offers a lighter experience with its wheat blend and lower ABV. This makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a festive yet refreshing winter beer. Keep an eye out for the release of Mad Dreams to experience this delightful twist on a classic!

That Time of Year Again

Its August…. so you know what that means….. Oktoberfest! (No seriously, hear me out, its time for Oktoberfest.)

Although already out in the wild via the newest variety pack – Perpetual Exploration Variety Pack 3 – the Oktoberfest by Troegs Independent Brewing officially hits the shelves of their brewery on Monday, August 5th 2024. It will be going out to distribution shortly thereafter. (The variety pack started showing up in places like West Connection Beer Vault and others as early as July 26th. The variety pack includes Perpetual IPA, Graffiti Highway IPA, Hopora IPA, and the Oktoberfest.)

Oktoberfest will be on draft starting the following week – August 12th – at the brewery.

(Last year Oktoberfest was released on August 1st.)

Tröegs Oktoberfest

By boiling a portion of the mash, we create a bright, dry maltiness.

John Trogner – Tröegs brewmaster and co-founder

Tröegs Oktoberfest is 6.1% ABV – not too high and not too low either. The lager is true to its origins, a good toasty lager that would make any Bavarian happy. Brewer tasting notes for the Oktoberfest are caramel, toasted oats, sweet caramel, fresh baked bread, and flowering herbs.

Troegs Independent Craft Brewing collaborated with German artist David Leutert to make the can label and some of the artwork on merchandise. They have also collaborated with another artist for the tee shirts that will be released to celebrate the Oktoberfest season. Leutert took inspiration from the Bavarian flag and the traditional bier halls of Bavaria to create the design. Festzelte is the Bavarian bier gardens that you see traditionally in pop culture with the tents and the white and blue everywhere.

Lagers

Troegs Brewing has several lagers to scratch any lager fan’s itch. They have the year round Troegenator Double Bock, they have the Sunshine Pilsner, they also currently have When in Doubt (a helles lager) and they’ve had some recent scratch lagers – Scratch 511 and 514 in particular. The Oktoberfest Lager joins their Long Live Lagers celebration series.

(See also: The Rise of Craft Lagers in Pennsylvania Breweries)

Oktoberfest Lager can be found in 12-oz bottles and 12-oz cans. You can use their Tröegs Brew Finder to find it.

A collage of some of our recent Patio Beers (as seen on our Instagram page)

There is Something About Those Back Patio Beers

There is something about those out back patio beers.  Wait, it’s too damn hot out today for that.  We will be having this evening’s beer inside!

Henry Hill laughing in the Goodfellas

While I was pregnant with our daughter, Scarlet, Ben took his first crack at hardscaping a patio area off the back porch.  I’ll spare you the details, but it was a long daunting process that quickly got out of hand.  I mean, nothing goes as simply as you hope but, when it involves a large hole in the ground and 10 feet on concrete it gets crazy.  No, this isn’t the start of a mob movie!

You can understand when Ben finally finished the original plans for the patio, we were very grateful.  Even on humid evenings we have been grabbing some patio time with a beer since early in the year.  The little spot that was created to find peace and relaxation needs a beer to go with it.

(As always – you can check out our Instagram to see all of our beer pics, adventures, behind the scenes photos and videos, reels, memes, and links to some of our other articles and maps, hike pictures, board game pictures, and all kinds of things.)

The latest brews we have enjoyed together are Idiom Brewing out of the Blue on July 1, Heavy Seas Hazy Cannon and Tropicannon on July 1 , Idiom Brewing Emotional Rollercoaster July 4th, Last Thursday 11th Schnitz Ale Brewery Boozendorf ale.

Each time it feels like a major relief to relax outside with a well-crafted beer and finish out the day.  Especially being able to chat and vent about a stressful day with a friend or the love of your life.  The patio beer also counts if you are alone though. This is the beer that when you finish you feel refreshed.  Given the time of year patio beers are normally fruity or light.

No matter where you live or frequently hang out, grab yourself a “patio beer”, preferably from a local craft brewery and relax!

This wasn’t our patio but we did have beers in a “patio” at Boneshire this past Friday (The Beer Thrillers at Boneshire Brew Works – Instagram).

Ben had the AuZealand and I had the Flying Hawaiian.  And yes, we had these in the parking lot picnic table area.  It still counts as part of the patio beer discussion.  This isn’t like Cheers but each brewery we tend to write about should make you feel like you belong.  Like it’s your 3rd home.

We also enjoyed a patio beer at YAH Brew Kolsch for CJ June 30th  (Benefit for CJ) (The Beer Thrillers at YAH Brew – Instagram). It’s a small patio outside of Yah Brew but it continues that vibe of feeling welcome at the neighborhood watering hole.

Some of our other fav patio spots to have a beer: Sworn Brewing, Cold Spring Brewing Company , Wolf Brewing, Boneshire Brew Works, Ever Grain Brewing’s open patio area, Troegs Brewery’s patio and beer garden; and honestly there’s so many more – too many to even begin to list really! But here is some pictures from the different places.

Amy Out

Thank you for reading down our bit of memory lane and viewing some of our patio beer pics. Ben wants to do even more with the patio in the future, including building a paver based bar, as well as an outdoor brick oven (a pizza oven). He also wants to set a block up of cement to take the handprints of the girls as well as our dog Leela.

Thank you for joining us today, and make sure to join us on our Instagram page, please follow us on there, we are hoping to hit 1K followers by the end of summer!

Troegs Brewing Summer of Sunshine Variety Pack

Summer of Sunshine Variety 15-Pack

This Monday (April 29th) Troegs Brewing is releasing the Summer of Sunshine Variety 15-Pack. This is a big explosive pack of fifteen cans – five different beers, three cans each – that will be perfect all summer long. This is a perfect beach pack or hanging out for a summer picnic.

Summer of Sunshine Variety Pack Includes:

  • 3 Cans of Sunshine Pilsner (12 oz)
  • 3 Cans of Sunshine Salt and Lime Lager (12 oz)
  • 3 Cans of Summer is Here (12 oz)
  • 3 Cans of Leisure Cruise (12 oz)
  • 3 Cans of Perpetual Haze (12 oz)

Sunshine Pilsner is a pilsner (obviously), Sunshine Salt and Lime Lager is a lager (obviously), Summer is Here is a lager, Leisure Cruise is a raspberry wheat, and Perpetual Haze is a New England – Hazy – take on Perpetual IPA (so an IPA).

Leisure Cruise and Sunshine Salt and Lime Lager are brand new beers. Summer is Here is a yearly released beer for summer and Perpetual Haze is an irregular member of the Troegs Brewing family. Sunshine Pilsner is a full time flagship beer for the brand.

For Sale Tomorrow

The Summer of Sunshine variety pack will go on sale tomorrow – April 29th – in the brewery, as well as go out to markets and hit distribution (may take longer for them to reach full distribution). You can find it using the Troegs Brewery “Brew Finder“.

For more information check out their beers page: Summer of Sunshine (Beers at Troegs).

Rumor has it – you have to tell the bartenders “one ticket for the Leisure Cruise please” to be able to order a pint of it.

]]> 14980 First Cut IPA Releasing Thursday – February 22nd https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/02/20/first-cut-ipa-releasing-thursday-february-22nd/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=first-cut-ipa-releasing-thursday-february-22nd Tue, 20 Feb 2024 13:30:41 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=14415

First Cut – Mango IPA – by Troegs Independent Brewing is releasing on Thursday, February 22nd, 2024.

First Cut – Mango IPA – Is Coming

The fan favorite First Cut IPA is coming out on Thursday – February 22nd. This year its coming out in 16 oz pounder cans for the first time ever. It will also be seeing a small local distribution footprint, ontop of being released at the Troegs Brewery in Hershey, PA.

First Cut has achieved “cult following” at this point, and there’s no reason to wonder with how delicious this beer is. First Cut IPA is always a highly anticipated release at the Troegs Brewery. First Cut marks the beginning of the hop season (though its coming out earlier and earlier each year, its coming out a little bit before the first shoots of the hops are popping up…. there is still snow on the ground in Hershey and Central PA afterall). Signaling the beginning of the hop growing season, when the first shoots start to break through the surface, and the hop farmers cut some of the early shoots (they make an excellent meal – check out our hop omelet recipe: Hop Shoot Omelet), to help facilitate the growth of the hops.

Its early spring and this is the growing season – or will be shortly – and the return of green to Central PA. So come on out to Troegs Brewery on Hersheypark Drive in Hershey, and pick up some First Cut IPA to celebrate!

First Cut IPA Notes

First Cut IPA is an American IPA, clocking in at 6.2% ABV and 45 IBU. It has a global average rating of 3.79 on Untappd (as of 2.20.24), and the description there reads: “Each spring, hop growers dust off their pruning shears and trim the first shoots, bolstering the bines for a rich growing season. First Cut – a mouthful of silky Simcoe and a touch of mango – is a nod to this ritual, without which the world would be a less hoppy place.”

You can find out more information on First Cut IPA at the Troegs website here: First Cut – Mango IPA.

Each spring, hop growers dust off their pruning shears and trim the first shoots, bolstering the bines for a rich growing season. First Cut – a mouthful of silky Simcoe and a touch of mango – is a nod to this ritual, without which the world would be a less hoppy place.

We taste: juicy mango, green pineapple, honey

]]> 14415 Troegs Independent Brewing is Releasing Scratch 500 and Scratch 501 – Double Perpetual IPA and Triple Perpetual IPA https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/10/09/troegs-independent-brewing-is-releasing-scratch-500-and-scratch-501-double-perpetual-ipa-and-triple-perpetual-ipa/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=troegs-independent-brewing-is-releasing-scratch-500-and-scratch-501-double-perpetual-ipa-and-triple-perpetual-ipa Mon, 09 Oct 2023 14:35:00 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=12671 (Article Updated to include new photos.)

Troegs Independent Brewing Is Hitting a Milestone

Who would have guessed when Troegs Independent Brewing started their unique scratch system – their version of research and development – that here we would be; at Scratches 500 and 501

In recent years they’ve been pumping them out nearly weekly between their Scratch System and their even smaller R & D Scratch System. Leading up to their Oktoberfest Week they released several scratches all at once – Scratch 497: Schwarzbier, Scratch 498: Lemon Lime Radler, and one – that John Trogner himself said they would never make – Scratch 499: Rauchbier (a smoked beer).

Feels like it was just yesterday and I was drinking the Scratch 400 and reviewing it: Scratch 400 – Pre-Prohibition Lager. And here we are, three years later, celebrating the release of scratch 500 (and 501).

Scratches 500 and 501 will both be released on Thursday, October 19th, 2023 at the Troegs Brewery on Hersheypark Drive in Hershey, PA.

Scratch 500: Double Perpetual IPA

Scratch number 500 is Double Perpetual IPA. Take the Perpetual IPA you love… and double it! (Well, more like 1.5x it… for a real double Perpetual IPA… we’ll get to that in a bit).

Double Perpetual IPA will be clocking in at around 9-9.8% ABV. (Perpetual IPA is 7.5% ABV.) Double Perpetual IPA will be a brewery exclusive release on October 19th, 2023.

This is being both canned and kegged, so there will be four packs and cases, as well as draft at the brewery. Unlike the debacle that was the nightmarish release of the first batch of Double Nugget Nectar – this release; Double Perpetual IPA – will most likely have some sort of case or four pack limit.

Over the course of the run of Scratch Series Beers – numerous beers have “graduated” to become full fledged beers. Like Grand Cacao, Haze Charmer, Nimble Giant, and most recently Cyclops Teardrops.

Perpetual IPA (the original, the singular, the highest selling IPA in Pennsylvania) was one of the very first graduates of the Scratch Series and the research and development system used by Troegs Independent Brewing.

Expect this beer to have even more citrus, even more sticky and piney notes, and be even MORE Perpetual… it’ll be DOUBLE PERPETUAL!

Scratch 501 – Triple Perpetual IPA

Did you think Double Perpetual IPA was enough? No way! We need a Triple Perpetual IPA!

If you thought Perpetual IPA was a big IPA at 7.5% ABV…. and then if you thought Double Perpetual IPA at 9-9.8% ABV was a BIG BIG IPA…. then wait til you get ahold of Triple Perpetual IPA… rocking in somewhere from the 11 – 13 % ABV range (or so the legends go).

All of your favorite hops from Perpetual IPA – Cascade, Chinook, Nugget, and Citra are ramped up to the max for this big strong, powerful (triple) IPA.

This will be kegged only, and be released on draft only at the Troegs Brewery. You will be able to get crowlers and growler fills of it to go.

You can look for Triple Perpetual IPA to be released October 19th, 2023 when the Troegs Brewery opens at 11:30 AM.
