As you have read on our site previously, Tröegs has been quite busy lately releasing new beers, including the very popular Double Nugget Nectar. Well, the brewery is back at it again this month with another new exciting release. Add “Triple Nator” to the list of beers to look for.
Triple Nator is a triple bock lager brewed with some PA-grown Pale malt as well as Munich, Pilsner, Caramel, Special B, and Chocolate malt. The beer will clock in at 13.2% ABV and be available in 12.7oz bottles.
Brewery owner, John Trogner had the following to say about the beer:
“I’m very excited about this recipe. It has its roots in Troegenator, but we didn’t want to just turn up the volume. We asked ourselves, ‘Is it possible to brew a beer above 13% ABV but still nuanced in flavor?’ That was the goal. To that end, we boiled the wort a long time, reducing it in volume by about 30%. That’s how we got the high gravity, and the extra fermentables from the Demerara and Belgian candy sugars helped nudge up the ABV. We’re at 12.5% and counting right now, but we’ve retained a crisp, malty profile. Not too much sweetness. This one is definitely meant to cellar. I’m picturing legendary vertical tastings every year when the new vintage is out.”
Stay tuned for release details, we will follow-up when they are available.
