Tröegs Independent Brewing was founded in Central Pennsylvania in 1996 by brothers Chris and John Trogner.
We’re not defined by a style. We take bits and pieces from different brewing traditions, layer in 20+ years of brewing experience and try to come up with what we think is a very creative and great-tasting beer. Being independent means we’re able to push our own boundaries, have a little fun and focus on doing what’s right for our beer, our customers and our brewery. We’ve grown a good bit since 1996 and are one of the top 40 breweries in the United States, but our commitment to quality, independence and creativity has never wavered.

Dubbed the Flying Mouflan (for reasons that become clearer toward the bottom of the glass) this strong alluring ale is two beers in one. Cracking open a fresh bottle unleashes hops and heat with more than 100 IBUs emanating from three hop varieties and sweet burn of 9.3% ABV. Cellaring the Flying Mouflan in a cool dark place at 50 degrees for a minimum of four months will mellow out the hops and wash away the heat.

The next installment in our Scratch Beer Series is another German style, the Kolsch. Developed in Cologne, Germany, this particular beer is warm fermented, then cold conditioned (or "lagered") to bolster the fruity attributes present in the Kolsch yeast strain. Pale and straw-colored with a foamy white head, this refreshing, medium-bodied ale offers subtle hop bitterness and a slightly dry finish with hints of white grapes, spiced apple, and citrus fruit.

Troegs hosted fellow 2012 GABF winners to brew a special collaborative beer for Philly Beer Week to commemorate each brewery's success at the festival. Brewers Matt Moninger of The Church (Large Brewpub of the Year) and Jason Oliver of Devils Backbone (Small Brewpub of the Year) joined our own Andrew Dickson, Tim Mayhew, and Matt Hobbs to brew a session-strength Black Rye IPA using peppercorns, three varieties of rye malt, and plenty of American hops. Hand-crafted by three decorated breweries with a combined weight of six gold, three silver, and six bronze GABF medals (in 2012 alone!), Scratch #97 has enough precious metal linked to it to make even Michael Phelps tremble in his speedo...

For the next several batches individual Troegs brewers will create recipes of their choice. First up, The Ticeman had a hankering for a sweet stout, so the Troegs brothers and all the brewers met with Scharffen Berger Chocolate Company engineers to eat ridiculous amounts of cocoa nibs and chocolates over a few pints of beer. This collaboration resulted in the delivery of a special blend of cocoa nibs that were added during the boiling process. In addition to the nibs, lactose was added at the end of the boil to give a little sweetness in the body. The addition of Galena and Simcoe hops lends a subtle fruity balance. After primary fermentation, the beer was aged for three weeks on a blend of cocoa nibs and Ugandan vanilla beans. Dubbed Cocaoabunga, this unfiltered beer has a pleasant cocoa aroma, a subtle sweetness in the mouthfeel, a full-bodied flavor, and hints of vanilla.

For Scratch #28, the Troegs team decided to brew a beer to celebrate the early spring weather. The resulting brew is a take on the Roggenbier style?an uncommon German ale brewed with a portion of rye malt and a weizenbier yeast strain. Scratch #28 is loosely based on our own Dreamweaver Wheat beer recipe, but with several significant changes. First, rye malt makes up 25% of the malt bill, replacing a portion of white wheat. Malted rye gives the Troggen Roggen a spiciness, creamy mouth feel, and fantastic head retention properties. Second, lightly toasted Munich and Vienna malts contribute color and a pleasant breadiness. The Andechs Weizen yeast strain offers a clove and banana profile slightly different from our house weizen strain, and the addition of Hersbrucker and Crystal hops in the hopback give a spicy and lightly citrus end-note to the beer. As always, malted wheat gives the beer a tasty doughy flavor and thirst-quenching tartness. Unfiltered, the Troggen Roggen is a cloudy amber-orange brew meant to be drunk fresh, and in warm weather.

Scratch #29-2010 is a true brewery collaboration with cast of characters involved in recipe formulation, barrel-aging, dry-hopping, bottle-conditioning and finally, taste-testing. Scratch #29 started off innocently enough as a Pale Ale fermented with Westmalle yeast. After fermentation, the beer was aged for twelve days in virgin Pennsylvania Oak barrels supplied by Keystone Coopers. And then the fun began. Even after brief wood-aging the oak?s intensity overwhelmed the Bravo and German Northern Brewer hops used in the boil. But have no fear, a two-week dry-hop with Willamette and Hersbrucker hops dulled the oak and transformed this beer. Bottled-conditioned for three weeks before release, Scratch #29 imparts an intense spicy flavor with grassy notes from the Hersbrucker hops. Hints of orange and a slight alcohol burn come through with the high carbonation leaving pins on your tongue in the finish.

Scratch 31, the brothers and the brewers decided to revisit one of our favorite sweet spots ? IPA ? and have some fun with hop flavors. Dubbed 'Citra of Brotherly Love' in honor of Philly Beer week, Scratch #31 has generous amounts of Apollo, Cascade and Citra hops. This is our first use of Citra hops, which is known for an intense grapefruit aroma and flavor. While showcasing the intense Citra flavor we added additional bitterness with Apollo and Chinook hops as well. Scratch #31 went through a bed of Chinook hops in the hopback and was dry-hopped with Cascade and Citra hops.

Scratch Beer #32 takes us full circle in the Scratch Series ? sort of. Over three years ago, we started brewing the Scratch series beginning with one of John and Chris' pilot brew recipes from their back patio brewing days in Boulder, Colorado. With the recent heat wave, everyone at Troegs has been itching for an easy-drinking session beer, so the brewers took us back to Scratch #1 tweaking the original recipe. Fermenting a lager yeast at slightly warmer temperature is the hallmark of the California Common style, giving this Keystone Common a lager-like smoothness and mild fruitiness. A healthy amount of Vienna malt and a pinch of caramel malt provide bready sweetness. The predominant hop used is German Northern Brewer (mandatory for the style) creating a fruity and earthy flavor. A touch of Crystal and Bravo hops in the hopback finish the picture with a mild aromatic note and deepened complexity. For the dog days of summer Keystone Common delivers a flavorful brew perfect for the back yard if you can brave the heat.

Imperial Stout10.9% ABV
Tröegs Brewing CompanyHershey, PA
Brewed with six different malt varieties, this colossal, palate-numbing Imperial Stout unleashes a barrage of chocolate, vanilla, dark fruit, and coffee on the tongue. Copious amounts of American hops impart a serious dose of grapefruit rind and pine resin. The addition of Demerara sugar (a light brown, partially unrefined sugar) lends a warm caramel note amid a rich, velvety texture and intensely hoppy finish. This Black Friday, there’s none more black.

Scratch #175 furthers our exploration of the experimental hop variety "06277" (aka "Nuggetzilla"). These potent cones from experimental hop fields in Yakima, WA invigorate this session-strength IPA with an intense smack of pine resin and pineapple as well as gentler notes of strawberry and key lime. To put a local spin on this particular Scratch beer, we've incorporated a percentage of malted barley from Deer Creek Malthouse.

Over the years, it may seem like we've poked around virtually every nook and cranny of the IPA spectrum. Of course, we're always searching for new rabbit holes to explore. We highlight the Mosaic hop, a one-of-a-kind American variety with Nugget and Simcoe lineage. The same can be said of this hop variety, which lends itself extremely well to the IPA, a style typically rife with bright citrus or juicy tropical fruits, intense pine resin, and earthy herbaceous attributes.

Scratch #227 represents our interpretation of the classic Saison style. This once near-extinct ale was brewed in farmhouses during the winter months and stored until summer, when it was served to the seasonally working farmers. (Hint: “saison” translates to “season” in French.) Keeping with a French theme, we use a strain of French Saison yeast to enhance the mouthfeel, which lends a rich, silky texture and dry, champagne-like finish. The result is a mouthwatering Saison with a tangy citrus zing, sweet malt backbone, and contrasting peppery spiciness. À la vôtre!
