Fun Facts About Victory
- Victory was founded in 1996 in Downingtown, Pa. by Bill Covaleski and Ron Barchet. They met on a school bus in 1973 when they were in the fifth grade.
- The original lineup of Victory beers was HopDevil Ale, Victory Festbier and Brandywine Valley Lager.
- The HopDevil character existed in Bill’s mind, and on paper, before HopDevil beer was ever brewed. He drew it, and decided he would like to brew a beer and name it HopDevil.
- Victory is one of only a few breweries in the country that uses whole flower hops in its beer. Almost all breweries used pelletized hops instead. Whole flower hops are a purer form, and the brewers at Victory believe they impart better flavor and aroma to beer.
- In 2010, Victory brewed 58,850 barrels of beer. That’s 1,824,350 gallons, or 19,520,545 12-ounce servings. If every single one of those servings was bottled in a 12-ounce bottle, and you laid all the bottles end to end, it would stretch from our brewery in Downingtown to Seattle, Washington. Now with 93,196 bbls. sold in 2012 (30,816,810 bottles) we are nearly completing the return trip from Seattle!
- Victory also brews and bottles its own root beer. The root beer is currently available on draft in the brewpub, and by the six-pack and case in the Victory retail shop.
