Victory Announces 15th Anniversary Beer, A Tribute

Posted in Beer News | 1 comment

Victory has announced their plans for a 15th Anniversary beer through their Victory Beer Blog. While the details are vague, Victory said they will be paying tribute to their local water from Brandywine Creek, and will be playing around with their hops, malt and yeast. This sounds like a great, simple beer, and I can’t wait to try it. Victory’s blog post is below.

Reflecting over the years as we approach our 15th anniversary here at Victory, we can’t help but be struck by the realization that Downingtown has made a great home for Victory. From the enthusiastic throngs that crowd our brewpub to enjoy our creative, flavorful beers and cuisine to the natural charms of the area, we are blessed with good fortune. As the active community contributor we’ve been over those years, we recognize our opportunity to both utilize and protect these assets.

Chief among those assets is the pure water we receive from the East Branch of the Brandywine Creek that begins its journey to us just under 14 miles from where we brew with it. We’ll be celebrating this water (insert your lite beer joke here…) with our anniversary beer due to be released February 15, 2011. Now, considering that beer is the product of four simple ingredients, and the three other than water rely on water for their existence, we have a fair amount of latitude in paying homage to water in our beer. So, expect us to play all of our cards deftly, bringing the hops, malt and yeast in harmony, with our great local water as the conductor.

Cheers,
Bill & Ron
The Brewmasters of Victory
