Troegenator® Double Bock

2007 Great American Beer Festival- Gold Medal
Denver, Co - We recently picked up some shiny hardware for Troegenator Doublebock at the 26th Annual Great American Beer Festival in Denver. Tröegs Brewery received a gold medal in the Bock category for Troegenator, a smooth, mahogany-colored lager that was first created with inspiration from German monastic brews. In 2003 this limited edition lager became a year-round product and since then has become the brewery’s second best-selling beer. An international panel of brewing experts selected the 2007 Great American Beer Festival winners from 2,832 entries received from 474 breweries in the United States. Troegenator won a silver medal at the 2006 GABF and a bronze medal at the 2006 World Beer Cup.

The top three winners in the competition’s 69 beer-style categories were announced September 30 at the 25th Annual Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Colorado. Tröegs Brewery was recognized in the Bock category for Troegenator. “This is only the second year we have sent beer to the GABF because we’ve never brewed beer to specific style guidelines,” said Chris Trogner. “That being said, everyone at the brewery is quite proud of this accomplishment because winning at medal at the GABF places you in an elite group of breweries.” This is the second major honor for Troegenator this year; in April, the beer was awarded a bronze medal at the World Beer Cup. The 2006 Great American Beer Festival Competition winners were selected by an International panel of brewing experts from an impressive field of 2,443 entries received from 450 U.S. breweries.

That’s proof positive that being chosen a winner, no matter is gold, silver or bronze is truly an accomplishment.”
