Tröegs Releasing Scratch #380 Trail Day & Crimson Pistil Returns

From Tröegs:

Scratch #380: Trail Day

Step by step, our Scratch team has been walking toward a brand new pale ale, and our compass is pointing in this direction. A malt bill with more than 50 percent oats gives Scratch #380 a smooth mouthfeel, and unmalted wheat adds haze and props up the bright hop combination. Citra takes center stage with notes of passionfruit and lychee, Lotus adds hints of orange rind and vanilla cream, and El Dorado works with a new-to-us yeast to pull in flavors of candied peach.

Watch for a special 16-oz. can release here at the brewery next week!

We have good news and good news. First up, yes, we are open 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Thurs/July 4. Independent beer on Independence Day. No brainer. Second, we’ll be celebrating with a special 16-oz. can run of Scratch #380, a brand new dry-hopped pale ale. A malt bill with more than 50 percent oats gives Scratch #380 a smooth mouthfeel, and unmalted wheat adds haze and props up the bright hop combination. Citra takes center stage with notes of passionfruit and lychee, Lotus adds hints of orange rind and vanilla cream, and El Dorado works with a fruity yeast to pull in flavors of candied peach. Cans and draft available only here at the brewery til they’re not. #

Limited: Crimson Pistil Hibiscus IPA

Good news for those who love this glorious tangle of berry-like tanginess and sticky tropical notes. On Thurs/June 27, we’ll be releasing a limited run of Crimson Pistil Hibiscus IPA here at our Hershey brewery. Have it on draft in the Tasting Room or in 12-oz. cans to-go from our General Store. We taste: passion fruit, tart berry and grapefruit zest.
