HERSHEY, Pa. — Tröegs Independent Brewing announced it is welcoming back the fall season with the return of its perennial pumpkin ale favorite, Master of Pumpkins.
Each year, the Hershey-based brewery begins by sourcing 3,000 pounds of locally grown longneck pumpkins needed to brew the beer.
“To us, a pumpkin beer should have pumpkins, and fortunately they grow really well in Pennsylvania,” brewmaster and co-founding brother John Trogner said in a press release. “We think our fans appreciate this beer’s connection to local agriculture.”
After the harvest, brewery staff clean, cut, roast and purée the pumpkins before adding them directly to the mash tun at the start of the brewing process.
“Bringing this beer to life really is a labor of love and a brewery-wide effort,” said Trogner.
Subtly spiced with cinnamon, clove, ginger and nutmeg, Master of Pumpkins delivers the time-honored flavors of the season and provides warm comfort on those cool autumn nights ahead.
Starting Monday, Master of Pumpkins will be available on draft and in 16-ounce cans everywhere Tröegs beer is sold.
Beer drinkers can find this and all the independent brewery’s beers near them using the Tröegs Brew Finder.
