Tröegs Independent Brewing announces the statewide release of Pennsylvania Lager. The brand-new beer joins Perpetual IPA, Graffiti Highway IPA, Troegenator Double Bock, and more as part of the brewery’s year-round offerings.
Inspired by the universal appeal of easy-drinking lagers brewed during the pre-Prohibition era, Pennsylvania Lager began to take shape back in April 2023.
“Lagers have been a huge part of our DNA since the beginning,” says Tröegs co-founding brother and brewmaster John Trogner. “Beers like Troegenator and Sunshine Pilsner really helped to build our brewery, and they continue to delight today.”
With Tröegs’ history of brewing world-class lagers, Trogner and his team set out to create a retro beer for the modern age.
Like many of the independent, family-owned brewery’s recent beers, Pennsylvania Lager came up through Tröegs’ 3-barrel Research & Development brewhouse known as the Scratch Lab.
“Our Scratch Lab is where we get to tinker with the latest flavors, ingredients, and brewing techniques,” explains Trogner. “After seven different test batches, we landed on a final recipe everyone loved.”
Brewed with 100% malt and no filler, Pennsylvania Lager utilizes decoction mashing, open fermentation, and a Pennsylvania heritage yeast strain.
“It really caters to folks who just want a refreshing, no-frills beer,” adds Trogner. “But it’s also nuanced enough that beer geeks will appreciate the extra work we put into crafting such a full-flavored beer.”
Pennsylvania Lager has consistently been one of the most popular offerings in Tröegs’ Tasting Room since its initial brewery-only release in February.
At only 5% ABV, this crisp, thirst-quenching premium lager promises to deliver a smile with every sip.
Pennsylvania Lager is now available on draft and in “PA Pounder” 12-packs of 16-oz. cans as well as 6-packs of 12-oz. bottles. Look for it throughout Tröegs’ home-state distribution footprint in the coming weeks with more states to be added in 2026.
