Tröegs Second Cut Returns For 2024

From Tröegs:

HERSHEY, PA  – Tröegs Independent Brewing announces the release of its brand-new Second Cut Mango Double IPA.

The 8.5% ABV Double IPA joins the Hershey, PA-based brewery’s rotating Once-a-Year series, which includes iconic beers like Mad Elf, Nugget Nectar, and Nimble Giant.

Second Cut features two complementary ingredients – citrusy Simcoe hops and sweet mango.

Tröegs adds more than 12 pounds per barrel of real mango during the fermentation process to lend a sweet, fruity finish to the beer. Second Cut’s combination of hops and fruit yields notes of juicy mango, pineapple, and raw honey.

The inspiration behind the beer’s name is twofold. It’s a nod to hop farmers, who dust off their pruning shears and prep their hop bines for a rich growing season. Also, it’s a callback to the independent brewery’s fan-favorite First Cut IPA.

“We’re always searching for new flavors to showcase in our seasonal beers,” explains Tröegs co-founding brother and brewmaster John Trogner. “Over the years, First Cut has become a cult classic, so we thought we’d create something bigger and bolder for those fans.”

Second Cut Mango Double IPA is available on draft and in 16-ounce cans across the brewery’s entire distribution footprint.

Beer drinkers can find Second Cut and other Tröegs beers near them using the Tröegs Brew Finder.

Introducing Second Cut Mango Double IPA. As the hop growing season flourishes, farmers dust off their pruning shears. Trimming back those extra shoots helps bolster the bines for a rich harvest. A mouthful of silky Simcoe hops and juicy mango, this new once-a-year release is a nod to those rituals, without which the world would be a less hoppy place.

[Editor’s Note]: For 2024, the beer will hit 8.5%-AbV)
