Perfect Pair.

This local duo teamed up to create a new campaign, Better Together, to celebrate Pennsylvania’s rich agricultural history. Try delicious combos like Tröeg’s Lucky Holler Hazy IPA with Unique Snack’s sourdough craft beer pretzel rings or the Tröegenator Double Bock paired with extra dark chocolate pretzel splits.
