Tröegs and Volunteer face off in Round #1 of the 2024 #OdessaBrewbracket. Which brewery will carry on?

Tröegs

Tröegs Independent Brewing was founded in 1996 by brothers John and Chris Trogner. The first keg was sold to a local restaurant in Harrisburg on July 18, 1997. Tröegs is a family nickname, from the founders' surname Trogner. When combined with a Flemish word “Kroeg,” meaning "pub," we get Tröegs.

Volunteer

The brewery was named “Volunteer” as a reflection of the organization’s commitment to stay involved in the local Middletown-Odessa-Townsend community.
