New Trail Brewing Company, a Pennsylvania-based brewery with a mission to connect people with the outdoors, announced the continuation and expansion of its celebrated State Park Series. This unique initiative brews beers named after specific Pennsylvania State Parks, with a portion of the proceeds from each can sold directly benefiting conservation and improvement projects at the featured park.

Since its inception, the State Park Series has raised significant funds for the Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation (PPFF) and the individual “Friends Groups” that support these vital natural resources. The series not only offers the highly acclaimed beer New Trail is known for, but also serves as a vehicle to raise awareness about the importance of public lands and the need for their preservation.

“Our brand is deeply rooted in the outdoor experience, and we believe that it’s our responsibility to help protect and maintain the natural beauty that inspires us,” said Mike LaRosa, Director of Brewing Operations. “The State Park Series is our way of giving back to the community and the environment. Each can is a tribute to a special place and a direct contribution to its future.”

The New Trail State Park Series has featured a variety of beers, each a tribute to its namesake park. The beers released to date in the series include:

• Keystone State Park (K.S.P.): A hazy IPA that helped fund friends group projects at Keystone State Park.
• Worlds End State Park (W.E.S.P.): An IPA celebrating the beauty of Worlds End State Park and its surrounding forests.

New Trail Brewing Co. continues to work closely with the Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation to identify new projects and parks to feature in the series. Consumers can enjoy a delicious, locally brewed beer while knowing that their purchase directly supports the preservation of Pennsylvania’s natural treasures.

The next beer in the series is currently in development and will be announced at a later date.
