Victory Lager

After we left Twin Light, we ended up at this other place called the Chubby Pickle. Yeah…not even kidding. It was a new sports bar in Highlands that supposedly had good food. The food was mediocre at best. The beer list wasn’t horrible for a sports bar that I had very low expectations for. I [...]

Victory Ranch R Double IPA

On Sunday, I ended up at Twin Light Tap House in Highlands with my sister. They had a lot of limited brews on tap, and this started my day of beer tasting. I haven’t had a brew from Victory in a little while, but I definitely have a soft spot for them. I also went [...]

Victory Otto Ale

I’m finally home. It was a hell of a day at work. I feel like I spend more time in meetings now than I ever have in my life. It’s not bad…just very different for me. After work, I headed to the firehouse for more training since I’m headed to academy next Tuesday. So, until [...]

Victory Storm King Stout

And today begins my three-day weekend. I took tomorrow off and a buddy and I are planning to go hit some decent NJ beer spots. As usual, work was crazy today. I had my two-hour meeting and spent the rest of the day working on projects. I really love being busy…I guess it’s my type [...]

Victory Summer Love

It is way too hot out. Now, I know, it’s cooler today than yesterday, but still. This is seriously unbearable. Although, this heat did remind of perhaps my favorite video ever. It’s from a cartoon called Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends (yes, I am a total child at heart) and it’s called “Hot In Topeka.” [...]

Victory Headwaters Pale Ale

I find that it’s always a rough day when you’ve been on vacation for awhile. Today was no exception. I came back to a pile of work and I felt like I didn’t stop working at all today. This is one of the reasons I hate going on vacation. But, it was totally worth it, [...]

Dogfish Head Saison DuBUFF

I grabbed this one out of the fridge since I’m trying to do a “first in, first out” type of deal. I’ve had both of the Victory and Stone offerings prior to this, so I pretty much know what to expect. So far, I think Victory is better than Stone’s. But, we’ll see if this [...]

Victory Baltic Thunder

This is the last beer I had tonight. I easily could have tried a few more, but my palate was getting shot. This is another seasonal from Victory. I tend to like darker beer, so I was happy to try this out. ABV: 8.5% Style: Baltic Porter Trivia: Baltic porter is a top fermenting beer. [...]

Victory CBC Hersbrucker BPA

This brew wasn’t even described in the Victory beer book. There’s not a lot of information on this brew. What I could find while I was there was that this was a Belgian Pale Ale, and I’ve never had one of those, so I figured I’d try it. ABV: 5.8% Style: Belgian Pale Ale Trivia: [...]

Victory Whirlwind Witbier

By the time I got to this beer, I was doubting Victory’s lighter beers. I was a big fan of the rauchbier, but the saison was lacking as was the hefeweizen. I was starting to think that the Sunrise Weissbier that I had reviewed a month ago was the exception to the rule. ABV: 5% [...]
