Tröegs Celebrates the Season with 2nd Annual Frost & Foam Winterfest

HERSHEY, Pennsylvania – Tröegs Independent Brewing announces its 2^nd Annual Frost & Foam Winterfest, a celebration of the winter season, set to take place right outside of the Hershey, PA-based brewery on Saturday, February 21.  
 
The five-hour event kicks off at noon and will feature a variety of activities for the entire family. Throughout the day, attendees can enjoy a visit from Hawk Mountain Sanctuary including a live raptor, a Tröegs ice sculpture carving demo and reveal, a fire artist performance, and a competitive Chili Cook-off featuring several local restaurants. 
 
Other highlights include food trucks, local vendors, face-painting, a fun try-your-luck fishing game with prizes, and musical entertainment featuring live performances by Blank Pages from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. and The Bad Toupees from 3:15 to 4:45 p.m. 
 
Whether temperatures dip below freezing or not, attendees can stay warm and toasty inside a heated tent or gather around several communal Breeo Fire Pits. 
 
In addition to local food vendors, Tröegs will open its Beer Garden food truck to serve up a variety of cold-weather favorites like Smash Burgers, Troegswurst, Loaded Tots, Barbacoa Tacos, S’mores Kits, and more.  
 
Of course, a wide variety of Tröegs beer will be available to purchase inside and outside the brewery. Attendees can also experience “Bierstacheln,” an old-world German tradition of using a hot poker to caramelize the beer and add toasty and smoky notes. 
 
“This event is a celebration of everything we love about winter,” says Tröegs co-founding brother Chris Trogner. “We hope you’ll layer up and join us outside the brewery for a few hours to enjoy all the season has to offer.” 
 
Frost & Foam Winterfest will take place at Tröegs Brewery, located at 200 E. Hersheypark Drive, Hershey, PA. Admission is free and open to the public. All ages are welcome to attend.

We’re a bunch of family, friends and kindred spirits who share a love of great beer. Together, we make Tröegs.

Founded in Pennsylvania in 1997 by brothers John and Chris Trogner, Tröegs is driven by a sense of adventure and curiosity.

You might know our Perpetual IPA, the best-selling IPA in Pennsylvania. Or the dark, malty and crisp Tröegenator. Maybe you’ve tried one of the hundreds of experimental Scratch Series beers we’ve brewed. Or taken the “Best Brewery Tour in America” here at our Hershey home.

Whether you’re already a member of our extended family or you’re just getting to know Tröegs, there’s always something new to discover. Crack a Perpetual and stay awhile.

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.

Community
From bike rides that fund local trails to new beers that help preserve critical forests, our partnerships improve the places where we live, work and play.
