"This year, we're going with a full-on PA-powered centerpiece: a Maple-Brown Ale Glazed Turkey, roasted low and slow, basted in a malty, caramel-rich glaze made with one of Pennsylvania's best fall beers: Troegs' Troegenator Doppelbock or Victory's Festbier (both work beautifully and are easy to find statewide). The result is a turkey that's juicy, glossy, sweet, savory, and unapologetically Pennsylvanian."
"Pick one of these PA craft beers depending on your flavor goals: Troegs Troegenator Doppelbock - Dark fruit, caramel, toffee; slightly sweet.Perfect for a deep, rich, almost BBQ-like glaze. Victory Festbier - Clean, bready, slightly sweet malt.Lighter, more delicate, but still beautifully malty. Weyerbacher Merry Monks - If you want a more Belgian, fruity twist. For the recipe below, I'll assume Troegenator, because very little says "Pennsylvania in November" more than that purple-labeled doppelbock."
A Maple-Brown Ale Glazed Turkey uses Pennsylvania craft beer to create a malty, caramel-rich glaze that bastes a low-and-slow roasted bird for glossy, juicy results. Troegs Troegenator Doppelbock and Victory Festbier are primary beer choices, with Troegenator delivering dark fruit, caramel, and toffee notes and Festbier offering a cleaner, bready malt profile; Weyerbacher Merry Monks provides a Belgian, fruity alternative. Preparation includes removing giblets, patting the turkey dry, rubbing with oil or butter, and coating with a seasoning blend of salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, thyme, and sage before roasting and glazing. Side suggestions include craft-beer pairings to complete a Pennsylvania-focused Thanksgiving table.
