From Tröegs:
HERSHEY, PA - Tröegs Independent Brewing announces the release of Hopora IPA to usher in the fall season. Part of the Hershey, PA-based brewery’s seasonal series, Hopora sits alongside three other seasonally rotating beers including fan-favorites Field Study Summer IPA and Blizzard of Hops Winter IPA.
A tribute to the hop spirit for a bountiful crop, Hopora showcases the radiant tropical fruit and citrus notes of Solero hops.
“To me, Hopora captures the best of both IPA worlds – West Coast and hazy,” says Tröegs brewmaster and co-founding brother John Trogner. “It’s got just the right amount of bitterness that rolls into tropical aromas with notes of mango and passionfruit.”
Built on a backbone of pale malt, oats, and wheat, Hopora IPA clocks in at 6.2% ABV. Citra and Chinook hops round out the hop bill with supporting notes of grapefruit rind and subtle pine.
Like many of the independent, family-owned brewery’s recent beers, Hopora came to fruition through its 3-barrel “Scratch Lab” nano-brewery.
Designed by BrauKon, the Scratch Lab replicates the temperature controls, pressure, and geometry of the brewery’s 100-barrel production brewhouse.
“The Scratch Lab allows us to experiment and get even more granular with recipes,” says Trogner. “We can test different hop combinations and yeast strains side-by-side, which we couldn’t do with our larger Scratch brewhouse.”
Hopora IPA is available on draft as well as in 12-ounce bottles and cans everywhere Tröegs beer is sold. Beer drinkers can find this delicious IPA near them using the Tröegs Brew Finder.
Look for Hopora alongside three other Tröegs beers – Pennsylvania’s #1-selling Perpetual IPA, Graffiti Highway IPA, and Oktoberfest Lager – in the forthcoming Perpetual Exploration variety pack for the fall season.
