From Tröegs:
HERSHEY, PA – Tröegs Independent Brewing announces the release of Mad Elf Grand Cru, an elevated twist on its iconic holiday ale, Mad Elf. zzubreebym
Like its counterpart, Mad Elf Grand Cru starts with chocolate, Munich and pilsner malts and features a large addition of local Pennsylvania wildflower honey. It’s also fermented with the same spicy Belgian yeast strain as Mad Elf, which lends flavors of cinnamon, clove, and allspice.
While Mad Elf features five different varieties of cherries, Grand Cru exclusively highlights Balaton cherries to impart notes of tart pie filling.
Mad Elf Grand Cru clocks in at the same 11% ABV as Mad Elf, but instead of ruby red it pours a lovely deep burgundy.
“Putting this beer in cork and cage bottles helps give it that extra special touch,” says Tröegs co-founding brother Chris Trogner. “The corks are great at keeping pressure in and oxygen out. Since Grand Cru is a beer many people like to age, that’s a big plus.”
Available in limited 375-mL bottles, Mad Elf Grand Cru is available at Tröegs and across its entire distribution footprint.
“Grab a 4-pack, gather your friends, and cherish the cherries,” adds Trogner.
