Sips of the Week
Laurie toured the Troegs Brewery in Hershey, PA and talked to Brewery Manager Ed Yashinsky about their amazing beers. Troegs Brewing Mad Elf, Hershey, PA $15.99 for 6pk Brewery Notes: The Mad Elf is a cheerful creation to warm your heart and enlighten your tongue. The combination of cherries, honey, and chocolate malts delivers gentle fruits and subtle spices. Fermented and aged with a unique yeast, this ruby red beer has significant warming strength that underlies the pleasant character of this intriguing yet delicious Ale. The Mad Elf is a jolly and delicious beer for the holidays. Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale, California $8.99 for 6pk Brewery Notes: The start of Celebration season is a festive event. We can’t start brewing until the first fresh hops have arrived, but once they have the season is officially under way! First brewed in 1981, Celebration Ale is one of the earliest examples of an American-style IPA and one of the few hop-forward holiday beers. Famous for its intense citrus and pine aromas, Celebration is bold and intense, featuring Cascade, Centennial and Chinook hops—honoring everything we have at Sierra Nevada.
