Tröegs Releasing Pennsylvania Light Lager & Scratch # 531 Nitro Cream Ale For Father’s Day

From Tröegs:

Need some quality time with Pops?

Dads are our top priority this weekend, which means Tröegs is the place to celebrate Father’s Day. Today, we unveiled our new Tröegs Pennsylvania Light Lager. This lighter, even more crushable version of our Pennsylvania Lager clocks in at 4.2% ABV and is just what dad ordered. Brewed with an old-school yeast used by some PA heritage breweries, this is a retro beer for the modern age. Try it on draft in the Tasting Room or snag some 6-packs of 16-oz. cans to-go in the General Store.

Also released today is Scratch #531 Nitro Cream Ale, the latest beer in our Brewers’ Choice series. We brewed this R&D-sized batch with pilsner malt and flaked corn at a low mash temperature to produce a dry finish. “I really enjoy the mouthfeel of a cream ale,” says brewer Karl Herzig, “and pouring on nitro will just enhance that.” Light-bodied yet full of character, this easy-drinking ale is clean and exceptionally smooth.

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.
