Tröegs Independent Brewing proclaims the release of Trail Day Dry-Hopped Pilsner as a part of a continued partnership with The Nature Conservancy. This limited beer benefits Pennsylvania’s Kittatinny Ridge, an ecologically vital 185-mile chain of forested mountains that runs by the brewery’s dwelling state.
Trail Day begins with a spine of German pilsner malt. Dry-hopping with Saaz hops lends gentle citrus and earthy notes. As fermentation slows, the Tröegs brewing workforce reintroduces contemporary lager yeast, which conditions the beer and delivers crisp, clear notes of biscuit, dried spice, and a touch of citrus.
A portion of proceeds from Trail Day gross sales will profit the Tröegs Trail Day Fund to assist protect 15,000 acres of probably the most vital, connected lands on and next to the ridge – from the Mason-Dixon Line into New York state by means of the Delaware Water Gap.
“We grew up in the shadow of the Kittatinny Ridge and it passes within 10 miles of the brewery,” says Tröegs co-founding brother Chris Trogner, “so we know this land well. And few things are more important to brewing beer than clean water. We’re proud to be working with The Nature Conservancy to help protect a place that does so much for Pennsylvania and beyond.”
The objective of the Trail Day Fund is to make sure that songbirds, hawks, eagles, bears and even vegetation can travel as they must, and that nature will proceed to provide clear streams, wealthy forests, recreational trails, and biological diversity.
Trail Day is accessible in 16-oz. cans all through Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, and New York wherever Tröegs beer is offered.

Trail Day represents only one a part of the brewery’s over-arching sustainability targets. In ongoing efforts to lower its environmental impression, Tröegs recently accomplished a sequence of upgrades – together with putting in greater than 1,600 solar panels – that will make its brewery more energy efficient.
