Victory is, first and foremost, a state-of-the-art brewing plant. It is unlike most trendy brew pubs and microbreweries, whose very limited manufacturing capability is secondary to the restaurant and bar operation. Victory’s brewery produced over 42,000 barrels of beer in 2008 (with a capacity nearly double that). Their highly desirable, award-winning beers are marketed in at least 23 states and are known around the world. Just in the last month, their Prima Pils was named one of eight great pilsners of the world (by Gourmet Magazine) and one of the world’s best bottled beers (“best to drink with a burger” by Imbibe Magazine).
We’ve watched their facility expand (toured their new brew house, met in their new beer hall of the renovated restaurant). There’s always something new to check out, be it a state-of-the-art Austrian growler-filler or a centrifuge (new this year).
Another highlight… Our Victory hosts are always informative and entertaining. Who can forget last year when our animated host, Matt, busted open a bottle of Golden Monkey with a machete? More beer ended up on him than in the “Drunken Mussels” recipe he was demonstrating!
If you haven’t been, come see what everyone is talking about. Bring a friend, co-worker, or spouse. Plan to beat the traffic by arriving early. Even if you can’t make the (optional, but recommended) tour, please join us for the complimentary beer tasting, food, and socializing that follows.
