I really liked this place, the only thing that was missing was a little food or something to snack on, but other than that it was a cool place to go see.

Stopped by to try the Scratch #19 on a Wednesday afternoon. Nice little tasting area, a small bar with 6 or so of the year round offerings, and of course, the Scratch series while it lasts. Tables are scattered around the tasting room, which has an industrial feel. Sample flights are available, as are 12 oz drafts and growler fills. Food consists of Philiadelphia Pretzel Factory pretzels and beer brownies! Only got to see the tasting room, didn’t take the tour. Worth a stop if you’re searching out a particular Troegs offering.

I love the Troegenator. The Growler deal is excellent. Anytime I am in Harrisburg, I have to make a stop (2-3 times/year). These guys have craft brewing down. No fancy restaurant... that would be nice, but the beer is worth it. It seems as if the staff are students, but into the beer. Maybe it depends when you visit. I haven’t done the tour yet... more interested in the product!

I love Troegs. With a recently expanded tasting room, this place is a blast. Awesome tasting bar, awesome swag, and good deals on their beer. How many places can you regularly go, taste a full line up of their great beers, and score a case of limited-brewery-only release awesomeness (Scratch series)? This place is just great. Good decor, good prices, nice tasting set up, and a very friendly atmosphere. A great stop.

Went in for a tour on Saturday and it was packed! I couldn’t even make my way to the bar to get one of the samples before the tour started. However, the tour was led by one of the owners and it was fantastic. It was very informative, both about the brewing process and the history of Troegs, and very personal. Probably the best brewery tour I’ve ever been on. After the tour we stayed around and the crowd slowly died out enough that we could have a few samples. They have some decent brews - I’d like to rate some when I have a full glass and a clear head.

Mostly, this is just a tasting room with a gift shop. They have a nice bar where you can get free samples of their regular beers plus any seasonals or specials they happen to have. The tours are usually packed on Saturdays. One thing that may help with this is that it appears that they are expanding the tasting room. They blew out one of the back walls and made a larger seating area with more tables and stools. They added a cooler and plan on selling cold six packs and singles in the near future.

beer tour, 08/16/08. I’ve been trying to get to Troegs for a while, and finally managed to arrive in time for the tour. Prior to tour, was given the opportunity to sample several of thier beers, including a November seasonal, Mad Elf. While all the beers were well made, my favorite was the Dead Reckoning Porter, a very thick, viscous, flavorful beer which I enjoyed so much, I bought a case of it to take home! The brewery tour was excellent, hosted by John Trogner, who gave a great presentation, explaining how Troegs got to where they are today. It’s easy to see how Troegs has achieved thier success...in addition to leading the tour, John served patrons, sold beer and washed glasses while still finding time to answer questions about beer and brewing....seems like a down-to-earth guy.

Stopped in on my way out to Philly. Walked in a no one even acknowledged my presence. The folks working at the time were about the most boring and completely void of info. I tried to get some conversation going but basically got yes and no answers. They have a few things on tap, regular line up stuff with two of the Scratch series brews. Another downer is PA law requires you to buy an entire case. I’d skip it next time for sure.

This place is a can’t-miss if you’re coming to Harrisburg. Troegs is quickly becoming the most popular brewery in the region. Their beer is excellent. The shop/tap room is pretty big but gets REALLY crowded on a Saturday, as does the beer tours. The staff is very helpful and always willing to take the time to answer your questions. All of their regular beers are on tap as well as whatever seasonal is available at the time.

Very big on the outside and had a pretty large tasting room / merchandise shop. Guy was really nice and we had some samples and filled a growler. At the time we were there we got a Hoppy Dream sample which is the Dreamweaver/HopBack mix and was very good. Very busy, I am sure it is busy all the time. Ring the bell and enter for some samples. A must visit if you are in the area. Great beer.
