We pop a squat in the dining area and get to it. A bit later John comes out looking like he’s fresh off running a large regional brewery, and he is. As we’ll talk about later in the interview, Troegs doesn’t slouch on their seasonals, and I’m always looking forward to my pints of Sunshine.
Cause really, if I have to stand through another spiel on what barley and hops are on a brewery tour, I’m just gonna lose it.Īrriving around noon, I mosey on up to the gigantic bar and order up a Sunshine Pils. And for the seasoned beer nerd, a self-guided tour through the production facility. More than a place to simply buy a growler of suds or take a tour when there’s no real brewing going on, you get to enjoy all of the brewery’s beers fresh from the source along with being able to see the brewing process from the vantage point of your bar stool. In a thankfully growing trend, more and more well established breweries are creating “destination breweries”. Troegs was once the brewing pride of Pennsylvania’s state capital now the town made famous by a chocolate loving loon named Hershey can claim home to one of the most respected craft breweries in the country. I’m talking about Troegs Brewing Company. But about a year ago, they uprooted from their home of 16 years and laid down roots in arguably a more famous town than their previous digs. I took their Saturday brewery tour no less than 6 times. Before they moved, I had made this trek many times to fill my growlers and belly with delicious brew. The drive there is very familiar for most of the trip.
On a warmer than normal April day, I hop into my trusty vehicle and make the pilgrimage to one of my favorite breweries.
