Brewery Profile

Troegs Brewing Co

For visitors building a beer stop into a trip to Hershey, this is one of the region’s established craft-brewery names rather than a small neighborhood newcomer. Founded in 1997 by brothers John and Chris Trogner, Troegs Brewing Co. operates its primary facility in Hershey and gives visitors a look at a brewery with a long-running production focus. What stands out on arrival is the connection between the visitor experience and the beers made there: the core lineup is part of the draw, but the brewery also keeps experimentation visible through its Scratch Series. That program has produced hundreds of unique small-batch beers, so the experience is not limited to the familiar year-round offerings.

Travelers exploring beer in Pennsylvania and the broader Mid-Atlantic often look for two things: a recognized flagship and a reason to try something less predictable. Troegs fits both patterns. Perpetual IPA is part of the core lineup and is noted as the best-selling IPA in Pennsylvania, making it a reference point for visitors interested in the state’s hop-forward beer preferences. Troegenator double bock offers a darker, maltier counterpoint, useful for anyone who wants to compare the brewery’s range beyond IPA. The Scratch Series adds another layer for repeat visitors or beer travelers who like small-batch releases, since availability can vary and the lineup may include beers outside the regular core.

The Hershey location offers scheduled tours of the production facility, so anyone interested in the brewing side should check the current tour schedule before planning the timing of a visit. Distribution extends across multiple states in the Mid-Atlantic, which means many visitors may have encountered Troegs beer before arriving; the brewery visit is a chance to connect those packaged or draft beers with the place they are made. Specific amenities, hours, food options, and daily beer availability are not assumed here, so the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, especially if the goal is to try a Scratch Series beer. For a practical stop, plan around the tour schedule first, then allow time to see what is currently being served.
