Tröegs Independent Brewing has announced a new look for its iconic, dark, and crisp Troegenator. The award-winning year-round doublebock is also now brewed with a portion of local Pennsylvania grain.
The malt-forward Troegenator has been a staple of the Hershey, PA-based craft brewery since its early days. The beer calls for so much grain, Tröegs had to custom-build its brewhouse around it. As of 2021, the brewery will use 50,000 pounds of Pennsylvania-grown and malted two-row barley annually, as part of the beer’s massive grain bill.
“When people think of local ingredients, they often think of hops,” says John Trogner, Tröegs co-founding brother and brewmaster. “But the quality and quantity of the grain in Pennsylvania lends itself to brewing. On top of that, we’re reinvesting in our community. Sending a local grower a check feels good.”
Troegenator is layered with notes of smooth caramel, stone fruit, and freshly toasted grains. This malty, crisp, and deliciously dark doublebock is a beer for people who love beer.
Troegenator is available year-round on draft and in 12-oz. bottles and cans everywhere Tröegs is sold.
