It pains me to rate one of my favorite breweries with 3 stars but I'll tell you why: the kids and the crowds. Troegs has some of the best beer in the area. The food is great, too. The problem recently with Troegs is how parents abuse the "all ages" policy. I'm talking we rarely, as locals to the Hershey area, go to Troegs anymore because of the kids climbing all over everything, the soccer teams taking up 15+ seats, parents just allowing their kids to run around the brewery, etc. I'm all for families enjoying themselves but Troegs just seems to become a playground for some reason. I know I'm not the only one that feels this way either.

The brewery can no longer accommodate the crowds it draws in. Which, hey, good for them, they are doing great business. But if you get a parking spot, you're lucky and that's only half the battle. You have to hover around the brewery for a seat most days. Its stressful and a headache. Especially if you have over 4 people. Get there early or go at a "slow time," if there even is a slow time anymore. I hope one day there is a remedy to this because we love Troegs; just not the crowds. Normally anymore, we run into the gift shop, grab beer, and go elsewhere for food.
