Troeg's in NC

In stock now.

 

Just picked Tröegs up at Vintner's in Charlotte
The 12 pack is.....
3 Tröegs Hopback Amber Ale
3 Tröegs Pale Ale
3 Tröegs Hop Knife Harvest Ale
3 Tröegs Troegenator Double Bock

Picked up Perpetual singles too !!

 

I used to live in Maryland and always had Troeg's available. I had a lot of their brews but was never that impressed (even Nugget Nectar). With that being said, I'll re-visit Troeg's and give them another shot now that it is available in NC.

 

Seconded

 

Who's the distributor? Just curious if we will see any Troegs love east of Raleigh

 

According to the newsletter Cblack85 posted (third post) it will be in Raleigh. No telling how far outside of Raleigh it will go.

 

Hi guys - Glad to see folks in NC are excited about Tröegs! Our beers are currently being distributed in NC by the following companies: Best of Beers, RH Barringer, RA Jeffreys, Adams, and Harris Beverages. We'll be sending some Mad Elf and Nugget your way as well (November and January, respectively). Cheers!

 

Just picked up Perpetual and Hop Knife, cant wait to give them a try!

 

I had the same opinion when I used to get them in Ohio. I thought they were an above average option but nothing extraordinary...probably won't sway me from locals down here, but may drink a few drafts when I see them.

 

I think they make solid beers and are consistent. I throughly enjoy Mad Elf and it's my favorite from them. I would definitely grab anything by them on draft. Regardless, I think it's good for NC and good for the people that haven't had much of their beers before.

 

Well I'm glad Knee Deep made it to Asheville but it looks like Troeg's is gonna ignore us. Not surprised. What do distributors or breweries (I don't know who makes the call) had against us? Is it because we're up in the mountains? Is it because we're already swimming in local beer? I want an answer goddamnit!

 

Honestly, its probably the later. Places that already have a very strong local beer scene, especially small towns that have a very strong local beer scene, don't support national brands all that well. Couple that with the fact that Asheville is a fair bit away from most other population centers, and it does make distributing to Asheville a bit more difficult of a call than the big cities, or even places like Hickory or Statesville (just some examples that are close-by to Asheville that have almost the same distribution as Charlotte does).

 

Nugget Nectar is going to be a total shit show.

 

Really liked Hop Knife and Perpetual IPA after trying for the 1st time last night. I love the hoppyness! Can't wait to try Nugget Nectar.

 

hop knife is great...its almost like a bigger version of Stone Go To IPA...big in your face fruity hops..

 

I'm sippin' the Troegs lineup right now...I'm in the mountains....I'm liked....It's harder to get to Boone than Asheville.....We have the population base of...well....we're really small.....there's only one explanation, my mother was right, I AM super special!

 

Your probably right, but NN isn't worth doing anything dramatic, in my opinion.

 

yet the madness will ensue
