Tröegs Perpetual Imperial Pale Ale will be available in all Troegs Markets by mid-June HERSHEY, PA – Chris and John Trogner, owners of Troegs Brewery, announced today they are adding a new beer to their current year-round line-up. Perpetual Imperial Pale Ale (IPA) will be released starting in late May and will be available throughout their eight-state distribution network by the middle of June.

Perpetual IPA will be available in 12 ounce bottles and half-kegs.

“With the opening of the new brewery and increased production capabilities we’ve wanted to start adding beer to our line-up since opening in October 2011,” said Chris Trogner. “In early March we finally caught up with customer demand and we are excited to finally add a new year-round beer to our roster.”

“In our constant evolution as a brewery, we’ve developed on undying drive to meld the organic and the mechanical,” said John Trogner. “Perpetual IPA is a tribute to building our new brewery and our desire to continue exploring beer.”

Perpetual IPA utilizes our hopback and dry-hopping to engineer a bold Imperial Pale Ale. Perpetual IPA is 7.5% ABV and 85 IBUs. It features Bravo, Chinook and Mt. Hood hops in the boil, Mt. Hood and Nugget hops in the hopback and Citra, Cascade and Nugget hops during the dry-hop stage.

Perpetual IPA was released in 22 ounce bottles and limited half kegs. It sold out almost immediately.

SCRATCH #63-2012 – DANNY’S IPA
RELEASE DATE: 4/27/12
Scratch #63-2012 was brewed to honor Danny Glover, our good friend who passed away earlier this year. Dubbed Danny’s IPA, this Black IPA is modeled after Danny’s favorite beer, Nugget Nectar. It clocks in at 7.0% ABV and 100 IBUs.

Per John Trogner III, “If anyone says it’s not hoppy enough, punch them in the face.”

Rotten grapefruit flavors from Columbus hops dominate Scratch #63. The dry-hopping rate is nearly one pound per barrel creating a dank, piney aroma that gives way to a grassy finish. This beer was dry hopped at a rate of 1.25 lbs. per barrel, more than two times the rate of Nugget Nectar. Tröegs Brewery will donate $10 from every case of Danny’s IPA sold out of the brewery in Hershey to the Gift of Life donation program.

BARLEY Pils, Munich, Crystal, Midnight Wheat
Hints of caramel come from the Crystal malt; the Midnight Wheat gives a dark black color and a hint of roast without the astringency associated with other roasted malts.
HOPS BOIL – Bravo, Columbus, Nugget, Palisade, Apollo
HOPBACK – Bravo, Columbus DRY HOP – Palisade, Apollo, Zythos, Columbus, Summit

SCRATCH #62-2012 – SPRING IPA
RELEASE DATE: 4/18/12
Scratch #62-2012 is a true experiment for us. In 15 years we have never brewed with Summit hops so we decided to crank up the bitterness and knock out a test batch. Spring IPA delivers the taste of fresh-cut grass and pine along with hints of grapefruit and spring onion. The blend of a piney aroma along with grassy and spicy hop notes mask the 8.5% ABV.

BARLEY Pils, Munich, Crystal, Acidulated Malt Munich malt gives a slight bready flavor to the grain bill.
HOPS BOIL – Bravo, Apollo, Nugget, Cascade
DRY HOP – Cascade, Apollo, Summit Grapefruit, pine and spice notes come from the blend of brewing hops. The dry-hopping rate is nearly one pound per barrel creating a dank, piney aroma that gives way to a grassy finish.

For more information on the Trail please go to http://susquehannaaletrail.com/. We look forward to seeing you soon. Cheers!

We just released Scratch #61 in the tasting room! Scratch #61-2012 is brewer Jeff Campbell’s recreation of his wedding beer. When Jeff first homebrewed this barrel-aged imperial stout he shared some bottles with the brewing team and it was immediately tagged for a future Scratch beer.

Scratch #61 was aged on oak chips for three weeks following fermentation adding a bourbon-esque note. Dominated by rich toffee, toasted coconut and vanilla flavors with enough hops to cut through the sweetness this 9.1% ABV and 42 IBU brew is incredibly drinkable with minimal alcohol burn. On tap at the brewery only.
Cheers!

The Tasting Tour gives visitors a behind-the-scenes look at a working production brewery. A small tour group will see the entire production process and taste and smell the building blocks of beer from raw ingredients through fermenting beer to fresh beer from our packaging line.

Can YOU Run An Underwater Marathon? Don’t worry that you can’t run 3 or even 26.2 miles on land. On a HydroWorx underwater treadmill— literally anyone can do it.

Here’s why and how YOU can do it: Water’s buoyancy take away 80% of your body weight (a 200 lb. person is approximately 40 lbs. on the underwater treadmill) Water’s hydrostatic pressure helps remove lactic acid and metabolic waste by optimally "flushing" the lymphatic and cardiovascular system — so, you won’t be sore during or after! The Marathon pool for the event will be a perfect 86-88 degrees so the run will be both enjoyable and therapeutic The HydroWorx underwater treadmills have an adjustable speed control so you can pick your ideal pace.

We had a really great year of artists submitting funky and creative works of art featuring Troegs bottle caps. This year's Grand Prizer winner was Doug Kreiser for his stained glass hop vine entitled "Forever Hops".
Not only did Doug make this hop vine by hand, but he also included a book with it explaining the type of environment that it would grow best in and a watering guide.

To make it more interesting this year, we decided to also include a "Fans' Choice Award" that was chosen via "likes" on Facebook. Denise and Jim Glenn won with the artfully crafted Troegs Light.
