WILK Friday BeerBuzz–11 Feb 2011 Troegs Nugget Nectar w/Chris Trogner

2/11/2011 09:28:00 AM ,
WILKFridayBerbuzz7Over the course of 42+ Friday BeerBuzz shows, we’ve sampled a record four Troegs Brewery beers.  From our very first show when we sampled Hopback Amber, to our Scratch # 29 Special and our Mad Elf Holiday Spectacular, we’ve all really enjoyed the brews from our local Harrisburg brewery.  Today we were very excited to not only sample Nugget Nectar (one of my all-time favorite beers), but also to have Chris Trogner on the show to sample it with us. 

imageChris is one of two brothers, that founded Troegs and brewed their beers, so he had some really great info on the past, present and even the future of Troegs Brewery.  Chris was nice enough to not only fill us in on the details of Nugget Nectar, but also chat to us about the new Troegs Hershey facility, the future of the Paxton St facility, and some upcoming Scratch & Splinter brews.  Stay tuned for Scratch # 41 (chocolate stout similar to #27) coming out TODAY and Scratch #42 (an abbey ale w/Chocolate nibs) coming soon!  A great guest and a great beer!…who could want any more.


imageNugget Nectar is a rare and wonderful seasonal brew, so get out there and try some before it’s all gone. 
Thanks
to  Chris, John, Nancy, Joe, Deuane & Bosco for yet another fun Friday.

    All I can say is Wow! I'm a regular listener and text club member, and I couldn't believe when the text arrived that you were having Chris Trogner on the show! Chris was a great guest and I love Nugget Nectar. I've actually been sitting here since the show ended at 9 waiting for you to post so I could be the first to comment. Finally after hitting refresh over and over you posted. I'm amazed at what you guys are doing. Phil Leinhart, Steve Mashington, Briak Boak and now Chris Trogner! I'm literally frightened to know who's next.

    Thank you all for bringing the local craft beer lovers the best beers, the best guests and the best local beer news.

    Psyched to have Chris Trogner on the show and taste my first Troeg's Nugget Nectar. I remain eternally grateful. lol

    Seriously love hops and though Nugget Nectar is about a 93 IBU, it's not a hop bite from the high end range that you'd expect and I now know why people wait with such anticipation for this Troeg's seasonal to roll out in January.

    Thanks Chris, thanks Bill!

    You keep busting out these amazing guests but today wa sthe best. Chris Trogner is an incredible brewer and one-half of the driving force behind what I consider one of the best breweries (period) and the absolute best in the mid-atlantic region. It helped that you busted out their best beer (Nugget). You guys rock!

    We have one of the last cases of Nugget that came into NEPA. I almost crapped my pants when you featured Nugget and had Chros Trogner on the air. Amazing!

    You guys consistently feature the best beers available in our area. Nugget is amazing and i's one of the few beers I buy by the case. On it's own that's amazing. Then we get to hear from one of the brothers and you have now made my life complete.

    While I do read your blog every day, I never comment. Today I'm compelled to say thank you. I love just about everything Troegs brews and this is the first I've ever heard directly from one of the brewers. Thank you for bringing us Chris Trogner and for highlighting one of the best beers ever!

    Thank you for featuring Troegs and for getting Chris on the radio. I love the show and I love your blog. You manage to give us all of the beer news I want without all of the rating and slamming of beer. I hate to see people arguing over beer or giving a beer a score and you don't ever do that. Thank for keeing beer positive and fun like it should be.

    If you mean the beer, yes...lots of it to be had, although Nugget is pretty scarce. If you mean the brewery opening in WB, then we may have to keep wishing....but I'm right there with you!
