It’s impossible to forget your
first Nugget. Once a year, as the newest humulus lupulus harvest arrives at Tröegs, we blend these super-fresh hops into an Imperial Amber Ale. Excessively dry-hopped, Nugget Nectar is an explosion of pine, resin and mango.

Beer and food. They’re better together. Here at Tröegs, we’ve thought long and hard about not just what foods pair with our beers, but why. We’re not out to tell you what to eat, but to inspire you to create pairings that perfectly suit your own palate.

21 Years of Nugget Nectar
The new year is upon us, and we’re ringing in 2025 with the release of a true Tröegs icon. A lot has changed about our brewery over the last 21 years, but for us, Nugget Nectar has been a constant. And this year, our iconic Imperial Amber Ale comes of age!
