Tröegs Releases Field Study Summer IPA

HERSHEY, Pennsylvania– Tröegs Independent Brewing announces the return of Field Study Summer IPA, the second beer in its rotating seasonal IPA series. 
 
Inspired by an annual trip to Washington state’s Yakima Valley for hop selection, Field Study began life back in 2018 through the independent brewery’s small-batch Scratch Series.
 
“Field Study started with Scratch #327, when we first began tinkering with some new hopping techniques,” explains Tröegs brewmaster and co-founding brother John Trogner.
 
After multiple trials, Tröegs’ brewing team landed on a hop combination of Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado to deliver the notes of ripe grapefruit, pear, and melon they were looking to achieve.
 
For Field Study’s grain bill, Tröegs uses a portion of rustic pale malt grown and harvested in Pennsylvania and produced by Double Eagle Malt just outside Philadelphia, PA.
 
“We like using local ingredients because it’s easy to try them,” says Trogner. “It’s fun to go out in the fields, get our hands a little dirty, and taste the raw ingredients before we use them in a beer.” 
 
With its bright flavor profile, low bitterness, and 6.2% ABV, Field Study appeals to both IPA fans and non-IPA drinkers alike.
     
Field Study Summer IPA is available on draft and in 12-ounce bottles and cans across the brewery’s entire distribution footprint.  
 
Field Study is also included in the forthcoming Perpetual Exploration variety pack for summer. Each 12-pack features the seasonal beer alongside year-round favorites Perpetual IPA and Sunshine Pilsner. Rounding out the lineup is the new Tröegs Pennsylvania Lager, available for the first time in 12-oz. cans and found exclusively in this pack.
 
Beer drinkers can find Field Study, Perpetual Exploration, and other Tröegs beers near them using the Tröegs Brew Finder.

Family-owned. Independently crafted.
In the past 25 years, Tröegs has grown from two brothers to 250 people, but we’re still very much a family business. Because we stay true to our core values of independence and family ownership, we’ve kept the small-brewery DNA we all hold dear.

Perpetual exploration
Our small-batch Scratch Series and 3-barrel Scratch Lab are where we do the work needed to understand the “why” at the intersection of ingredients, technique and flavor.

Local ingredients
We live and brew in fertile central PA, and we’re proud to support our local farmers. Every year, we buy more than 225,000 pounds of local grain, honey and fruit to use in our beer.
