The name Tröegs is a combination of a nickname derived from the surname Trogner and the Dutch word kroeg ("pub").

At approximately 90,000 square feet (8,400 m2) the new brewery is about three times the size of the original facility and includes a tap house (tasting room) with a full view of the brewhouse.

Held every year, it's a 10-day, multi-venue series showcasing breweries, restaurants, pubs and more through craft beer-centric events, demonstrations, and education throughout the greater Harrisburg area.

[5] Tröegs also produces "Scratch" beers, an experimental series focusing on new techniques and non-traditional ingredients.

These are available on a limited basis (often for only a few days or weeks) and have included weizenbocks, lagers, and barleywines, as well as barrel-aged beers.

As of August 2016 at least four cork and caged beers have been produced: LaGrave, a Triple Golden Ale; Master of Pumpkins, made with saison yeast and roasted pumpkin; Jovial, a Belgian Dubbel Ale; and Wild Elf, a barrel-aged version of the seasonal Mad Elf.

As of August 2016, expansion of the outdoor "beer garden" is underway, and parking lot improvements are under consideration.

Working on this project are Dave Maule Architects and Pyramid Construction, who were both involved in the Hershey build four years ago.

Chris and John Trogner collaborated with Philadelphia-based designer Lindsey Tweed to come up with the fresh new look.
