Dauphin County (Pa.) Legislator Visits Troegs Independent Brewing
 
Representative Tom Mehaffie was the latest Pennsylvania legislator to participate in the Brewers of Pennsylvania "Brewer For A Day" program, when he visited Troegs on July 17, 2017.

This was the BOP’s eighth successful Brewer For A Day event, a program that's designed to give state legislators a hands-on, fun, insider’s perspective on the brewing process. It also serves to further educate PA Senators and Representatives on the direct economic impact craft brewers have on communities throughout the state.

Rep. Mehaffie, Pa. District 106, serves Dauphin County, and owns Breski Beverage in Harrisburg.

Rep. Mehaffie toured the brewery, added hops to a scratch beer, and engaged with the state-of-the-art automation that helps Troegs produce some of Pennsylvania’s finest craft beers.

“Troegs Brewing Company was one of the first on the Central Pennsylvania craft beer scene, and seeing firsthand how their business has grown over the last twenty years is evidence of the growth of the microbrewery industry as whole,” said Rep. Mehaffie. “I enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about its operations in Derry Township, which employs 220 outstanding individuals, and I look forward to working with Troegs and other breweries in my district to ensure this unique industry continues to thrive.”
