HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA — Tröegs Brewing Company recently claimed two bronze medals in the Brewers Association (BA) World Beer Cup© 2008, a global beer competition that evaluates beers recognizes the most outstanding beers being produced in the world. Gold, silver and bronze medals in the competition's 91 beer-style categories were awarded April 19, 2008, during the World Beer Cup Gala Awards Ceremony and Dinner in San Diego, California.

Tröegs Brewery was awarded a bronze medal in the Traditional German-Style Bock category for Troegenator Doublebock, a smooth, mahogany-colored lager. Owners Chris and John Trogner first created Troegenator—inspired by German monastic brews—five years ago; it became a year-round beer in 2003, and is the brewery's second best-selling beer. Sunshine Pils was awarded a bronze medal in the German-Style Pilsener category. Sunshine Pils was introduced in 2001 as Troegs Summer Beer and became our Summer Seasonal the following year.
"It's a privilege to win two medals, especially in categories that attract so many European breweries with generations of brewing tradition," said John Trogner.
