Tröegs Releasing Scratch # 545 English Brown Ale

Another new scratch beer coming from Tröegs Independent Brewing in Hershey, Pennsylvania:

New Scratch Beer alert! With Scratch #545, we’ve taken a trip across the pond for inspiration. This English Brown Ale combines traditional pale and specialty malts with flaked oats to impart a rich nutty character and creamy texture. Classic English Fuggle hops add a tinge of earthy and floral tones. Weighing in at just 3.1% ABV, this traditional brown ale makes for an obvious quaffing delight. Available on draft starting today… only at 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.
