Tröegs Adding Fuzzy Nudge Double IPA 16oz Cans

Today we get our very first peek an exciting new can coming from Tröegs  Independent Brewing in Hershey, PA.  This is Fuzzy Nudge and it will be a double IPA brewed with peaches and apricots.  This former Scratch beer (#378) has an oat-dominated” malt bill and it uses 25-pounds per barrel of fuzzy peaches and apricots.  The beer will be brewed with El Dorado, Lotus and Azacca hops and this new version will roll in at 9%-AbV (down from the previous 9.5%-AbV in Scratch # 378).  You’re looking at the 16oz can and stay tuned here for full release details.

Update 12 July 2019 from Troegs:

PEACH FEST TICKET GIVEAWAY! Brewed especially for The Peach Music Festival in Scranton, PA, Fuzzy Nudge is a brand new Double IPA born from our Scratch Series. If you’d like a chance to win two General Admission tickets to The Peach, tag a friend in the comments below and tell us what band is at the top of your must-see list this year. We’ll pick a winner on Mon/July 15. The fest is only two weeksaway, and Fuzzy Nudge will be there (along with Perpetual IPA, Field Study, Sunshine Pils and Raspberry Tart Ale)! An oat-dominated malt bill gives Fuzzy Nudge a super-soft mouthfeel, and it’s loaded with 25 pounds per barrel of fuzzy peaches and apricots. A hop combo of Lotus, El Dorado and Azacca complements the stone fruit with notes of orange rind and pear, and a fruity yeast pulls in flavors reminiscent of gummy peach rings. Finally, brown sugar balances the brightness of the fruit and nudges fermentation of this lovable double IPA to full fuzziness. Tag that friend, win those tickets, taste the Nudge.
