Troegs - Cultivator Comes To Anthology Pack & Scratch Beer Updates

From Troegs:

We’re excited to kick off 2014 with a brand new seasonal beer program. As we revealed in last month’s issue of Tröegs Tales, the program is based on the cyclical nature of the four seasons.  Emerging from springtime’s fertile ground, Cultivator celebrates the start of The Hop Cycle as sprawling fields of hop rhizomes climb and tether to hop bines. This spring bock delivers hints of toasted grains, fresh baked bread and delicate floral hops. Cultivator is available in 12oz. cases and 6-packs as well as 1/6 and 1/2 kegs. Additionally, we will release our new Anthology Spring variety package to coincide with the release of Cultivator. Anthology Spring features a sublime collection of your favorite Tröegs brews including HopBack Amber, Tröegs Pale Ale, DreamWeaver Wheat and, of course, Cultivator Helles Bock. We will begin shipment to wholesalers throughout our entire distribution footprint during the first week of February, so you can expect to see both Cultivator and Anthology Spring in stores by the week of February 10. Check out our Tröegs Events listings at the bottom of this issue for some great Cultivator promotions across all of our distribution markets.

The Troegenator is ready to awaken! After hibernating for six months in bourbon barrels, we’re excited to report that we will release Bourbon Barrel-Aged Troegenator at the brewery on Thursday, February 6 at 11am. The barrel-aging process has transformed Troegenator into a lush Double Bock with undertones of vanilla, oak, and toasted coconut amid a warm blanket of tangy bourbon notes. Bourbon Barrel-Aged Troegenator is packaged in 750mL cork and cage bottles and available only at the brewery through the General Store for take-out as well as our Tasting Room for on-premise consumption. The price per bottle is $17.99 and there is a two (2) bottle limit per person.

We’ve also got a variety of Scratch Beers planned for release in February! First up is a Dunkel Lager scheduled for release on Thursday, February 6. The Dunkel (German for “dark”) Lager is a traditional Bavarian style characterized by a smooth, malty flavor and deep reddish brown coloration. We will follow this up with our first-ever IPL (India Pale Lager), a relatively new hybrid beer style combining lager yeast and cold fermentation with an assertive hop bill. Tentative release date for the IPL is Thursday, February 13. Later in the month, we’ll also release an Oatmeal Stout, another variation on a Chocolate Stout, and a Rye Pale Ale. All five aforementioned Scratch Beers will be available on draft and via growler fill in our Tasting Room at the brewery only.

Nugget Nectar

Last month, we announced that we’d be shipping Nugget Nectar region by region to ensure the freshest beer possible for our customers. Throughout the month January, we unleashed our much-anticipated Imperial Amber Ale across all of Pennsylvania to the delight of hopheads in our home market. Folks residing outside of PA, never fear! Distribution will expand into NJ, MD and DE the first week of February, followed by OH, VA, NY and MA in mid-February. “The concept has always been to deliver that fresh hop flavor and aroma,” said John Trogner. “When it comes off the bottling line, it goes into trucks and right out to retailers.” Nugget Nectar is available in cases and six-packs of 12oz. bottles as well as 1/6 and 1/2 kegs. We are also in the process of packaging 22oz. bombers, which will be available this month. Also, Nugget Nectar is currently on draft in our Tasting Room, and bottles are available through our General Store at the brewery. Grab some while it’s fresh and prepare to pucker up!
