Troegs Brewing has started distributing its fall seasonal, Dead Reckoning Porter, which should be in some stores now. The American Porter has received respectable ratings on Beer Advocate earning close to a 4 average. According to the newsletter sent out this week, “at 5.8% abv and 53 IBU’s, it features Pilsner, Caramel, Chocolate and Roasted malts along with Chinook and Vanguard hops”

In addition to Dead Reckoning Porter, Troegs is releasing the latest in its Scratch Series at the brewery this Saturday, August 23rd. Scratch #13, dubbed Fest Beer, appears to be a German-style lager and (if I’m not mistaken) was previewed at the Drafting Room Anniversary party earlier this summer. Scratch #14, a saison, will be released next month. More on the Scratch Series here.

Additional notes…the brewery will be doubling the size of its tasting room in the coming weeks. And there are rumors that Troegs will be expanding distribution soon with one key state mentioned being Ohio. The other, Massachusetts, would happen later on. That doesn’t mean that either state will automatically get any Troegs Nugget Nectar if and when it does happen but stay tuned.
