Tröegs Brewing Company

The company
Tröegs Brewing Company was established in 1997 by the brothers Chris and John Trogner, who have been working hard to get Central Pennsylvania on the brewing map. Since 1997, these Mechanicsburg natives have been handcrafting world-class beers that combine traditional English brewing techniques with the eclecticism of new American brewing. But how they reached this point is as compelling as where they are headed. 
Today, the brewery produces seven different beers including Hopback Amber Ale, Troegenator Doublebock, Rugged Trail Nut Brown Ale, Tröegs Pale Ale, Oatmeal Stout (seasonal), Sunshine Pils (seasonal), and The Mad Elf (seasonal), and distributes its product in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.

"HAND-CRAFTED BY TWO BROTHERS"

"...an expression of the creativity that has fueled the revitalization of small breweries across America..."
"In each of TRÖEGS' fine hand crafted brews you will experience a piece of the traditional brewing heritage and artisan pride in the craft brewing renaissance." - John Trogner, brewer

Tröegs, Hopback Amber 24/case

This beer gets its unique name and taste from the HopBack Vessel in our brewhouse.  Packed full of whole flavor hops, each batch circulates through the vessel, creating a fresh hoppy aroma, spicy taste and rich caramel note that defines this signature amber ale.
Deep amber in color under a huge creamy head. The aroma is very apparent, bold and spicy with a slight floral character.  Balanced with caramel malt, this well-rounded amber ale has an up-front floral spice that builds with a flush of sweetness.

"For sheer drinkability, it's tough to beat Troegs's signature russet brew, made in Harrisburg with quality ingredients, European techniques, and a heaping helping of American creativity. Defying traditional categorization, it's modishly hoppier than your average amber, a stunner with burgers and BBQ."

Tröegs, Troegenator 24/case

The Troegenator Double Bock, is a dark, strong lager (8.2% abv).  It pours into a glass with a bronze to brown color, fluffy white head and bready malt aroma. The Troegenator leaves a rich, warming feeling and subtle spicy flavors. The style, Double Bock, dates back a century or so ago. During periods of fasting without solid foods, the Monastic brewers relied on the double bock; a stronger, richer beer to fulfill their basic nutritional needs. Known to them as "liquid bread", a double bock has a strong malt aroma and chewy rich body.  Traditionally these brewers ended the name of their double bock with the suffix "ator", ex. Celabrator, Illuminator, Subliminator.....   In the spirit of the tradition we give you the Troegenator to provide warmth and richness through the early spring months. A double bock of epic proportions, beware, the Troegenator is deceiving smooth and delicious.

The Brewers Association (BA) World Beer Cup© 2008, a global beer competition that evaluates beers recognizes the most outstanding beers being produced in the world.

"Tröegs Brewery was awarded a bronze medal in the Traditional German-Style Bock category for Troegenator Doublebock, a smooth, mahogany-colored lager. Owners Chris and John Trogner first created Troegenator—inspired by German monastic brews—five years ago; it became a year-round beer in 2003, and is the brewery’s second best-selling beer."

Troegenator Double Bock won a silver medal at the 2006 Great American Beer Festival Competition (GABF), the largest national beer competition that recognizes the most outstanding beers produced in the United States today. The top three winners in the competition's 69 beer-style categories were announced September 30 at the 25th Annual Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Colorado.
Troegs Brewery was recognized in the Bock category for Troegenator a smooth, mahogany-colored lager.

Tröegs, Dead Reckoning, Porter 24/case

"In the 14th Century, Sailors would rely on sheer skill to get from a starting point to a final destination.  They called this Dead Reckoning.  We see our beer the same way.  We know where to begin and know where to go, but there are hundreds of ways to get there."
Dead Reckoning is unfiltered and weighs in at 5.8% abv and 53 IBU’s. It features Pilsner, Caramel, Chocolate and Roasted malts along with Chinook and Vanguard hops. “The outstanding taste and flavor of Dead Reckoning originates in the chocolate and roasted malts,” says John Trogner. “There is a nice hoppiness in the front of the beer, but the rich, smooth mouth feel is what really stands out.”

Tröegs, Mad Elf 24/case
This is a cheerful creation to warm your heart and enlighten your tongue.  The combination of cherries, honey, and chocolate malts delivers gentle fruits and subtle spices.  Fermented and aged with a unique yeast , this ruby red beer has significant warming strength that underlies the pleasant character of this intriguing yet delicious Ale. The Mad Elf, a jolly and delicious beer for the Holidays.

"For a digestif, try Mad Elf Ale from Troegs Brewing Co. in Harrisburg, Pa. At 11 percent alcohol by volume, it is more than twice as potent as a standard American lager, but it avoids the raw-alcohol roughness that mars many strong beers. A Belgian yeast strain and the addition of honey and cherries give the beer a spicy aroma, a ruddy amber color and a smooth, lingering sweetness with a hint of tart fruit.
Mad Elf is one of the few winter seasonals with overt Christmas imagery on the label. Does the elfin figure in red-and-white fur give a dated feel after Dec. 25? "I don't think it's ever lasted that long," answers co-owner Chris Trogner."

The Brewers Association (BA) World Beer Cup© 2008, a global beer competition that evaluates beers recognizes the most outstanding beers being produced in the world.
Sunshine Pils was awarded a bronze medal in the German-Style Pilsener category. Sunshine Pils was introduced in 2001 as Troegs Summer Beer and became our Summer Seasonal the following year.
“It’s a privilege to win two medals, especially in categories that attract so many European breweries with generations of brewing tradition,” said John Trogner.
