Thanksgiving at The Beer Thrillers household usually means one thing: yes, the kids are arguing over who gets the wishbone, the pies are cooling on the counter, and the Macy’s parade is droning in the background — but most importantly, a Pennsylvania craft beer is getting cracked and poured into whatever dish I’m cooking. Because if you’re not using local beer in your holiday feast… what are you doing?

This year, we’re going with a full-on PA-powered centerpiece: a Maple–Brown Ale Glazed Turkey, roasted low and slow, basted in a malty, caramel-rich glaze made with one of Pennsylvania’s best fall beers: Troegs’ Troegenator Doppelbock or Victory’s Festbier (both work beautifully and are easy to find statewide). The result is a turkey that’s juicy, glossy, sweet, savory, and unapologetically Pennsylvanian.

Below is the complete recipe, along with a few craft-beer-pairing side suggestions to turn your Thanksgiving table into a full flight of PA brew goodness.

Maple–Brown Ale Glazed Turkey (Made with Pennsylvania Craft Beer)

Beer Recommendation

Pick one of these PA craft beers depending on your flavor goals:

• Troegs Troegenator Doppelbock – Dark fruit, caramel, toffee; slightly sweet.
  Perfect for a deep, rich, almost BBQ-like glaze.

• Victory Festbier – Clean, bready, slightly sweet malt.
  Lighter, more delicate, but still beautifully malty.

• Weyerbacher Merry Monks – If you want a more Belgian, fruity twist.

For the recipe below, I’ll assume Troegenator, because very little says “Pennsylvania in November” more than that purple-labeled doppelbock.

Ingredients

The Turkey

• 1 whole turkey (12–16 lbs), thawed

• 2 tbsp kosher salt

• 1 tbsp black pepper

• 1 tbsp smoked paprika

• 2 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp dried thyme

• 1 tsp dried sage

• Olive oil or melted butter (2–3 tbsp)

Aromatics (for inside the turkey)

• 1 orange, quartered

• 1 small onion, halved

• 3–4 garlic cloves

• Fresh rosemary, thyme, and sage

The Beer–Maple Glaze

• 1 ½ cups Troegenator Doppelbock (or your PA beer of choice)

• ½ cup pure Pennsylvania maple syrup

• ¼ cup apple cider

• 2 tbsp soy sauce

• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 1 tbsp brown sugar

• 3 tbsp butter

• Pinch of salt & pepper

Instructions

1. Prep the Turkey

1. Remove giblets and pat the turkey dry.

2. Mix the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, thyme, and sage.

3. Rub the turkey generously with olive oil or butter, then coat with the seasoning blend.

4. Stuff the cavity with the orange, onion, garlic, and herbs.

5. Place on a roasting rack in a large pan.

2. Make the Beer Glaze

1. In a medium saucepan, combine Troegenator, maple syrup, cider, soy sauce, Dijon, and brown sugar.

2. Bring to a simmer and reduce by roughly one-third (about 15–20 minutes).

3. Whisk in the butter until glossy.

4. Remove from heat and set aside — it will thicken slightly as it cools.

This stuff smells like caramelized heaven. Resist the urge to drink it.

3. Roast the Turkey

1. Preheat oven to 325°F.

2. Roast the turkey uncovered for 1 hour.

3. Start basting with the beer glaze every 20–30 minutes.

4. Continue roasting until the internal temperature hits 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh (usually about 3–3.5 more hours).

5. If the bird is browning too quickly, tent with foil.

Your kitchen will smell like a brewery decided to host Thanksgiving. This is a good thing.

4. Finish & Rest

When the turkey reaches temp, remove from oven and let it rest 20–30 minutes before carving. Brush once more with warmed glaze for that Instagram-ready shine.

Flavor Notes (Because This Is The Beer Thrillers)

A Troegenator glaze gives you:

• Deep caramelized sugar from the doppelbock malt

• Notes of date, fig, and dark fruit

• Rich mahogany color

• A slightly sticky, sweet–savory crust

• Incredible drippings for gravy

If you go with Victory Festbier instead, the turkey comes out lighter and more bready-malt forward — still spectacular, just less intense.

Suggested Pennsylvania Craft Beer Pairings

Serve your turkey with any of these PA craft beer gems:

• Troegs Blizzard of Hops – juicy, bright, seasonal, balances the turkey’s sweetness

• Neshaminy Creek Shape of Hops to Come – for hopheads who want bitterness with the rich glaze

• Rotunda Cran-Gose (Annville) – tart, salty, and the sleeper hit of the meal

• Imprint’s Schmoojee Cranberry variants – dessert in a glass, but pairs amazingly well

Bonus: “Beer in Every Side” Pairing Ideas

Because why stop at the turkey?

Hop-Infused Mashed Potatoes

Stir ½ cup of slightly warmed Troegs Sunshine Pilsner into your mashed potatoes with butter and cream — it adds a grassy, herbal brightness.

Brown Ale Stuffing

Use Lancaster Brewing’s Winter Warmer or Yards Brawler in your stuffing liquid. Absolute game-changer.

Stout Sweet Potatoes

Glaze roasted sweet potatoes with Yuengling Hershey’s Chocolate Porter (still PA! still craft-adjacent enough!). Chocolate + sweet potato = chef’s kiss. (If you have any left. They stopped making this two years ago. A good new substitute would be Troegs Chocolate Elf.)

Final Thoughts: A Thanksgiving Made the PA Way

If you’re a regular reader of The Beer Thrillers, you know that Pennsylvania isn’t just a craft beer state — it’s the craft beer state. From the giants (Tröegs, Victory, Yuengling) to the small-town killers (Boneshire Brew Workst, Rotunda, YAH Brew, Sworn Brewing, Sterling Pig, Forest & Main), the Commonwealth knows how to brew something for every season.

And Thanksgiving — with all its comfort, nostalgia, chaos, and warmth — is the perfect canvas to show off what Pennsylvania beer can do in the kitchen.

If you end up making this recipe, send pictures or tag us on Instagram/Facebook/Twitter. And let me know which PA beer you picked — I’m always curious what everyone’s pouring and cooking with.

Happy Thanksgiving, and cheers from The Beer Thrillers!

After four years of being one of the top, and greatest premier craft bottle and beer shops in the Central PA area, West Connection Beer Vault is closing its doors. Located up on the Hershey Hill overlooking Hummelstown, between Weiss and what used to be K-Mart and is now a host of other businesses (including a gym and a Tractor Supply), at 1164 Mae St, Hummelstown, PA 17036. They just posted on their social media accounts moments ago about the upcoming closure.

West Connection Beer Vault Announces Closing

Announcement

After a four year run of great beers and even better conversations, The Beer Vault is closing the doors for good in mid, to late January. This was not an easy decision to make and we are very grateful for all the support and friendships we’ve built with our customers and staff over the years. Thank you for being a part of our story!

We will continue to operate as normal through the holiday season and will always bring the best customer service that you have come to expect until our last day. We have stopped selling gift cards and suggest you redeem them before the new year.

Cheers!

As the leaves fall and the nights grow longer, it’s time to dive into the seasonal brews that bring all the thrills of October to your glass. For fans of craft beer and the spooky season, there’s no better time to explore Pennsylvania’s haunted-hops landscape. Below are five beers brewed by PA breweries that lean into Halloween vibes—names, labels, stories and all.

Pennsylvania Halloween Themed Beers (can art is our creation, for their labels see below)

1. Master of Pumpkins (2025) — Tröegs Independent Brewing (Hershey, PA)

Master of Pumpkins by Troegs Independent Brewing

One of Pennsylvania’s most iconic fall-season beers, Master of Pumpkins returns for 2025 with all its harvest-pumpkin glory. The Hershey-based Tröegs brewers source 3,000 lbs of Pennsylvania-grown longneck pumpkins every year, roast and purée them, then brew a rich, spiced ale that leans deep into autumn.

Abram-style: Sweet caramel malt backbone, pumpkin depth, spices (cinnamon, clove, ginger, nutmeg) and at 7.5 % ABV, hearty enough for a brisk October night.

 

2. Young Pumpkinstein — Neshaminy Creek Brewing Company (Croydon, PA)

Young Pumpkinstein

A fun twist on the pumpkin-beer tradition: Young Pumpkinstein is described as a Märzen-style lager brewed with allspice, candied ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg, finishing dry yet spiced.
Specs: 5.2 % ABV, 23 IBU.

---

3. Michael Meyer’s Lemon IPA — Pizza Boy Brewing Co. (Enola, PA)

Pizza Boy’s Michael Myers Lemon IPA

Here’s a wild card on the Halloween list: a lemon-hazy IPA that uses horror theme branding to good effect. According to its description:

“Brewed with predacious amounts of oat and pilsner malt, fresh meyer lemon zest and a maniacal amount of Amarillo, Mosaic and NZ Motueka hops … Notes of supernatural citrus, blood stained everything, sharp knives and inside-out William Shatner masks.”
It clocks in at 6.66 % ABV.

4. Reaper’s Revenge Blood Orange & Pomegranate Ale — Wallenpaupack Brewing Company (PA)

Reaper’s Revenge by Wallenpaupack Brewing

Lending a hint of theatricality, this beer is tied to a haunted‐attraction experience and embraces the spooky side of fall. While I couldn’t find full specs, its marketing says:

“Just in time for the Halloween season … a beer that not only captures the essence of the season but … embodies the thrilling, hair-raising experience.” (via the brewery)
This beer joins the list to highlight a more theatrical style of Halloween craft brew—bold names, fruit twist (blood orange & pomegranate), an event tie-in. Great content for a blog segment like “Not just pumpkin: Halloween beers that think outside the Jack-O-lantern.”

5. Batch No. 666 — Appalachian Brewing Company (Harrisburg area, PA)

Batch 666 by Appalachian Brewing Company

Bringing classic Halloween flair: devilish name, dark-bronze hue, and a clear “in the spirit of Halloween” tagline. The brewery describes it as:

“Produced with 1,666 lbs of malt along with three 6 lb hop additions. The result is a dark bronze colored brew with tons of flavor, and a delightfully clean finish! Be careful, this one can sneak up on you and take you to the dark side. We’re sorry, the devil made us do it!”
Vintage/specs: Strong Ale / American style, 7.7 % ABV.

Fuzzy Few Festival 2025

Happy National IPA Day, everyone!

You know, there’s no shortage of IPAs in the world. From the hazy juice bombs of New England to the palate-wrecking resin bombs of the early West Coast era, we’ve seen the IPA evolve into a hundred sub-styles and “IPA-adjacent” beers. But every once in a while, a brewery takes a classic template, sharpens the edges, and gives you something that makes you remember why you fell in love with hops in the first place.

For me this National IPA Day, that beer is Leaf Seeker IPA from Tröegs Independent Brewing.

I got to try this for the first time at Ffej of July just a few weeks ago, and went out and got me a can of it, it definitely deserved to be drank again!

(See our article: Troegs Brewing Releases Leaf Seeker IPA to Replace Hopora)

Leaf Seeker IPA by Troegs Independent Brewing

Beer Review

Leaf Seeker is replacing Hopora in the Troegs Brewing release schedule. Let’s see if it lives up to the replacement and deserves its own spot on the calendar!

First Impressions

Crack open the can, and it’s like you’ve just walked into a Pacific Northwest hop farm mid-harvest — dank pine needles under your nose, sticky citrus oils clinging in the air. The pour is a crystal-clear golden amber, with a lively white head that sticks around just long enough to leave a lace map of your drinking pace. No haze, no murk — this is a beer that wears its West Coast style on its sleeve.

Aroma & Flavor

Leaf Seeker IPA is all about balance without losing the bite. The aroma jumps with bright grapefruit, orange zest, and mango from the Citra and El Dorado hops, grounded by earthy, resinous pine from Chinook and CTZ. The first sip leans crisp and bitter up front — a throwback bitterness that makes your tongue sit up straight — but the bitterness doesn’t bulldoze. The malt backbone, courtesy of Pilsner and Vienna malts, keeps things grounded with a lightly biscuity sweetness that fades into a dry, lingering finish.

It’s 6.4% ABV, but drinks lighter, thanks to a snappy, clean body. That’s dangerous on a warm August afternoon.

Seasonal Vibes

Leaf Seeker is a fall seasonal, but it’s debuting just in time to bridge the gap between late summer patio sipping and crisp autumn evenings. I can already picture drinking this while watching the leaves just start to turn, hoodie on, fire pit crackling. The name isn’t just clever branding — it feels like the kind of beer you’d bring along on a road trip through the Appalachian backroads when the foliage hits peak.

National IPA Day Context

Today is National IPA Day, so I’ve been running through my mental catalog of IPAs I’ve loved over the years — Heady Topper, Pliny, Bell’s Two Hearted, Tröegs’ own Perpetual. Leaf Seeker doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, but it polishes it until it shines. It’s proof that a clear, bitter, West Coast IPA still has a place in 2025, even in a haze-heavy market.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve been craving a clean, hop-forward, no-nonsense IPA with just enough nuance to keep it modern, Leaf Seeker should be on your radar. On National IPA Day, it feels fitting to celebrate with a beer that respects the roots of the style while still feeling fresh and relevant.

Untappd Rating: 3.75 / 5 – Crisp, piney, citrusy, and a perfect seasonal sipper.
Global Untappd Rating: 3.83 (as of 8.7.25)
Would I Drink Again? Absolutely — especially outdoors in the fall.

Tröegs Independent Brewing is excited to unveil its latest seasonal release: Leaf Seeker IPA. This West Coast-style IPA joins their esteemed rotating seasonal lineup, alongside fan favorites like Field Study and Blizzard of Hops.

Leaf Seeker is a nod to the bold, hop-forward beers that defined the early days of the craft beer revolution. No strangers to the style, Tröegs already boasts Pennsylvania’s best-selling craft brand with Perpetual IPA.

West Coast IPAs are experiencing a recent renaissance of sorts, with Leaf Seeker, we wanted to connect the dots between those big, hoppy IPAs from California and Colorado with our own East Coast culture.

– says John Trogner, co-founding brother and brewmaster at Tröegs.

As with many Tröegs brews, the journey of Leaf Seeker began in the hop-rich fields of the Yakima Valley in the Pacific Northwest. Leaf Seeker IPA started off as Scratch 508, then became Scratch 515, all on its way to becoming Leaf Seeker.

We go to the Yakima Valley every year to make sure we get the right hops. To me, it’s the most important ingredient selection we do. We have so many hop-forward beers, so the stakes are high.

– John Trogner

This year’s harvest brought an abundance of Citra, Chinook, and El Dorado hops, giving Leaf Seeker IPA its signature notes of sticky citrus, dank pine, and tropical fruit. Complemented by a backbone of pilsner and Vienna malts, this IPA strikes the perfect balance at 6.4% ABV, delivering just the right amount of bitterness to accompany fall’s changing leaves.

Availability

Leaf Seeker West Coast-style IPA is available on draft and in 12-oz. bottles and cans throughout Tröegs’ distribution network.

It also kicks off the brewery’s fall Perpetual Exploration rotating variety pack, featuring:

• Perpetual IPA

• Graffiti Highway IPA

• Leaf Seeker IPA

• Forthcoming Oktoberfest Lager

Check out the Tröegs Brew Finder to locate Leaf Seeker and other seasonal favorites in your area.

On June 5th, 2025; the Giant is set to make its much awaited return.

Tröegs Unleashes the Return of Nimble Giant Double IPA

Tröegs Independent Brewing has officially brought back one of its most sought-after seasonal beers — the bold and juicy Nimble Giant Double IPA.

Brewed just once a year, Nimble Giant is a fan favorite that rivals Tröegs’ iconic Mad Elf in the hype it builds leading up to its release. This limited-release Double IPA is now hitting shelves and draft lines across the brewery’s distribution network.

The beer’s journey began in the experimental Scratch Series, where Tröegs brewers first explored the layered complexity of Mosaic hops. It was during these small-batch tests that the ideal hop trio took shape.

“We loved our earliest trials with Mosaic,” says John Trogner, Tröegs brewmaster and co-founding brother. “But when we started dry-hopping with Mosaic and Simcoe together, we knew we had something special. Once we brought Azacca into the mix, it clicked — and we couldn’t turn back.” Weighing in at 9% ABV, Nimble Giant is a showcase of hop expression and balance. Expect vibrant notes of tropical fruit, pine resin, and honeysuckle, all built on a smooth base of pilsner and Vienna malts that give the beer its rich amber-orange color and silky body.

With an “Outstanding” rating on BeerAdvocate and regular top-10 appearances on Untappd’s trending list, Nimble Giant continues to impress both critics and hopheads alike.

This annual release is now available in 16-ounce cans and on draft wherever Tröegs beer is sold. Nimble Giant is available on draft and in 16-oz. cans across the brewery’s entire distribution footprint. To track down Nimble Giant near you, visit the Tröegs Brew Finder.

Craft beer and railroads share an unlikely bond: both were born from industrial grit, designed to bring people together, and perfected by those obsessed with precision. For beer lovers in the Harrisburg–Hershey region, that connection is no longer just metaphorical. Within a few hours of Central Pennsylvania, several historic railroads and scenic train lines now offer beer-focused excursions or sit within easy reach of excellent breweries.

If you’ve ever wanted to swap a brewery crawl for a train whistle and a pint, here’s your guide.

Rails and Ales – A Great Way to Travel and See New Breweries

New Hope Railroad’s “Brew Hope Express” (New Hope, PA)

About two hours from Hershey, the New Hope Railroad offers one of the most beer-centric rail experiences in Pennsylvania: the Brew Hope Express. This vintage excursion pairs a nostalgic train ride through Bucks County with onboard beer tastings and light charcuterie.

Expect scenic countryside views, smooth pours of rotating craft beers, and a relaxed, almost European beer-train atmosphere. It’s ideal for a low-stress day trip — short, focused, and built specifically for craft beer fans.

Why it works from Central PA:
It’s a straightforward drive and one of the most polished “beer train” experiences in the state.

Stourbridge Line + Runaway Train Brewery (Honesdale, PA)

If you want something more immersive, head northeast to Honesdale, where the Stourbridge Line teams up with Runaway Train Brewery for a full rail-and-brewery adventure.

This experience typically includes:

• A scenic vintage train ride along the Lackawaxen River

• Beer samples served onboard

• A guided brewery tour once you return to town

• A sit-down meal at the brewery

This feels less like a novelty and more like a craft beer event built around history, scenery, and production. It’s also one of the most complete “rail + beer” combinations within reach of Hershey.

East Broad Top Railroad’s “Broad Top Brews” (Central PA)

The most “local pride” option for Central PA drinkers is the East Broad Top Railroad near Rockhill Furnace. This narrow-gauge historic railroad runs a special Broad Top Brews train that turns a heritage steam-era ride into a rolling beer festival.

You’ll sample beers from regional breweries, ride through wooded ridges and farmland, and return to a festival-style environment with live music and food vendors.

For residents of Harrisburg and Hershey, this feels like a home-region event rather than a long-distance destination.

How to Build Your Own “Rail & Ale” Weekend from Central PA

Even without official beer trains, you can easily create your own brewery-and-rail adventure using commuter or regional rail lines.

From the Harrisburg–Hershey area, a good strategy is:

Drive to a station → Ride a scenic or regional train → Walk or rideshare to a brewery → Repeat.

Philadelphia and its suburbs are especially rich with breweries within short distances of stations. You can turn a simple regional rail trip into a personalized brewery crawl without worrying about city parking or long drives between stops.

Why This Works So Well for Central PA Beer Fans

The Harrisburg–Hershey area sits in an underrated sweet spot:

You’re close to:

• Historic narrow-gauge railroads

• Scenic mountain lines

• Multiple day-trip brewery towns

• And a surprising number of rail-based beer events

You don’t need to fly. You don’t need a big budget. You just need a free Saturday, an appreciation for good malt, and a willingness to let someone else drive the train.

Final Pour: Are Beer Trains Worth It?

If your idea of a perfect beer experience includes:

• Real pints instead of sample-fest chaos

• A slow pace

• Scenic views

• And actual conversation without brewery-crawl exhaustion…

Then brewery trains might be one of the most underrated beer experiences in the Mid-Atlantic.

For Harrisburg and Hershey drinkers, they’re not just accessible — they’re practically in your backyard.

Englewood Brewing Temporarily Closes with Announced Rescheduled Opening in 2025

Englewood Brewing has just announced that they will be (ceasing immediately) closing their restaurant operations. “Temporarily pausing our restaurant operations”, as of Monday – October 14th, 2024. They made the official post on their social media moments ago – (a pre-scheduled posting at 10:00 AM, Monday October 14th, 2024). They edited it shortly after due to comments to include the “ceasing immediately” and defining the date as of Monday, October 14th, 2024 that they will be closing the restaurant operations.

Their Facebook post reads:

Exciting Changes Coming to Englewood Hershey in 2025!

To our amazing Englewood Hershey family,

We want to thank you for all the love and support over the years. As we look ahead to 2025, we’ve decided to temporarily pause our restaurant operations, effective Monday, October 14th, to make some exciting improvements and deliver an even better experience when we return next year!

While we take this time to reboot, you can still join us for concerts, private events, weddings, and coffee at Englewood Hershey. We’re hard at work behind the scenes, getting ready to bring you the very best of Englewood Hershey in the new year.

This isn’t goodbye – it’s just a brief pause. We’ll be back better than ever in 2025! Stay tuned for updates, sneak peeks, and everything we have in store.

Thank you for your continued support, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you soon!

Englewood Hershey Pauses Restaurant Operations for a Refresh: Reopens in 2025 with New Look and Menu

Englewood Hershey, the popular restaurant and music venue in Derry Township, has announced a temporary closure starting today. Located at 1219 West End Ave. in Hershey’s “vibrant” West End, the venue is pausing its restaurant services to undergo significant changes aimed at enhancing its dining experience.

(See: A Taste of The Englewood – Our Review Of The Englewood’s Opening Day)

Why Englewood Hershey is Closing: A Strategic Hiatus

Co-owner Rick Russell shared that this temporary closure is a strategic decision to “evolve” the restaurant into something more in line with their original vision. “Restaurants go through evolutionary periods, and we are experiencing that right now,” Russell explained. “We’re fortunate enough to be able to pause operations and make these changes.”

The plan is to keep the restaurant closed through the start of 2025, but the venue will remain open for private events, live concerts, and comedy nights during the interim. Brewing operations will also continue without interruption, ensuring that Englewood Hershey’s craft beers will still be available to guests.

A Reboot for Englewood Hershey: What Changes Are Coming?

Englewood Hershey originally opened its doors in 2020, housed in a historic barn, as part of a multimillion-dollar project. The establishment quickly became a staple in the Hershey area for its combination of great food, craft beer, and live music. But, according to Russell, the experience has drifted towards a more casual atmosphere than initially intended.

Russell and business partner Jeff Sharp, who operate under Loto Station, LLC, are committed to refining Englewood’s identity. The reboot will include changes to the dining room, a refreshed menu, and an overall more upscale vibe.

Russell emphasized that these updates are necessary to keep Englewood relevant in the fast-paced restaurant industry. “It’s a reboot, and I think it’s part of the evolutionary change of restaurants,” he said. “We want to make it stronger and more customer-focused.”

Englewood Hershey’s Brewing Continues – And So Does Roasting

Though the restaurant is on hiatus, guests can still visit Englewood Roasting Company. This establishment, located at the former Cocoa Beanery on the same property, will remain open with extended hours and an expanded lunch menu during the restaurant’s closure.

Past Closures and Challenges: Water Damage Issues

(See: The Englewood Re-Opens)

Englewood Hershey has had to close twice in the past due to water damage. In late December 2022, a cold snap caused pipes to burst, forcing a seven-week closure. A year prior, a faulty sprinkler system also flooded parts of the venue, resulting in a temporary shutdown. Despite these setbacks, Russell and his team remain committed to ensuring the long-term success of the venue.

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!

We are working on a massive project here at The Beer Thrillers. We are creating a map of all of the breweries across the United States. State by state we are adding maps of all of the different states with every brewery in each state. (We will eventually get to the US Territories, as well as the Canadian Provinces, and possibly more countries; as well as doing some fun maps like a map of all the breweries we’ve been to, and other fun maps.) You can find the brewery maps here:
