Troegs Brewing Company near Hershey, PA

Beer lovers can get their fill of that yeasty and hoppin' brew with a tour of the Troegs Brewing Company near Hershey, PA. Established since 1997, this brewing company was started by a pair of brothers who had long been fascinated with beer and the brewing process.  They don't compete with the big guys in the business and instead devote their time to crafting the best specialty beers around.

The brothers' attention to detail is evident in their line of beers includes everyday favorites available like Hopback Amber Ale, the Rugged Trail Ale, the Troegenator Doublebock and the Troeg's Pale Ale. Troegs Brewing Company also distributes seasonal favorites with some rather cool names like The Mad Elf and Dead Reckoning Porter.

Every Saturday at 2:00 p.m., the Tröegs Brewing Company holds public tours so that you can experience for yourself all that goes into the making of that bottle of brew you enjoy. There are even tasting rooms set up so that you can try a few flavors yourself during the process. The tour of the brewery will take you to the ingredient room, the brewhouse and fermenting area, the filtration area and finally the bottle room — a process that will take about 30 to 40 minutes.

The tour of the brewery is free to the public but if you want a private tour with a large group of people, you have to schedule it and pay for the reservation. After the tour, you can peruse their gift shop with some really cool Troegs Brewing Company memorabilia and even have the chance to purchase some brews to take with you or ship home. The place is a definite stop if you are in the Hershey area on the weekend.
