PITTSTON — Susquehanna Brewing Company this week announced the upcoming release of its first year-round beers under the iconic Stegmaier brand since the acquisition of the brand last year.

The first of these highly anticipated brews is Stegmaier IPA, an American India Pale Ale. Stegmaier IPA is expected to be available early this month, and members of the SBC team invited the media to see the production line on Wednesday.

Joining Stegmaier IPA in the weeks that follow will be Stegmaier 1857 Classic Lager.

Both will be available for purchase in cans and on draft, wherever you buy beer or at the Susquehanna Brewing Company’s tasting room.
