Our shopping cart was already pretty much full at that point and my wife exclaimed “No!” as in not making this purchase. We did some ‘window shopping’ in the beer section and I picked up a 15-pack of Victory Classic Lager just to see the best by date. I was at my ‘local’ Total Wine & More yesterday shopping for wine with my wife. I suspect this beer would not be a ‘wow’ beer for many BAs but for me this beer perfectly ‘hits the spot’. I have since April purchased four 15-packs of this beer and it is by far the number 1 brand that I have consumed in 2020. I first had this beer in April and it was from a crowler: Perfectly balanced and exceptionally drinkable, this lager is expertly crafted with specialty hops, malt and yeast to be the standard of refreshment.Ĭlassic is the definition of drinkable with pilsner malt and Hallertau hops bringing perfect balance to this 4.8% refresher for game day, happy hour, mowing the lawn and everything in between.” This is a new beer to the Victory portfolio for 2020 and this is how Victory details this beer: Permit me to post about a beer that likely will be quite a contrast from the beers that other BAs will discuss in this thread: Victory Classic Easy Drinkin’ Lager. Haven't had many Imperial IPAs, but this is an outstanding beer.DuClaw hit a home run with this one! At 9% ABV, its sneaky strong and sticky and gets more boozy as it warms. Also has wildflower, clove, orange blossom honey and chamomile tea. Made with ancient Norwegian yeast cultures known as 'Kveik'. Taste is complex and every sip brings out different flavors, This brew is exploding with hints of apple, citrus and pine. Looks great on the pour-cloudy amber, with ample head and tons of lace. One of my favorite beers I have tried this summer. Dry, crisp finish and 8% ABV is sneaky strong. Taste is complex - with Motueka, Galaxy, Strata, and Mosaic hops with smooth citrus flavors. Has a cloudy ruby grapefruit hew on the pour with a pillowy head and tons of lacing. In 2022 they opened a second, smaller brewery, with a taproom, in Chicago. In 2021 they bought the 5 Rabbit brewery. The beer was brewed at Aquanaut in Chicago, Miskatonic in Darien, and 5 Rabbit in Bedford Park. I'll go with Benwood (4.44) from Cigar City and Nordic Swell (4.44) from DuClaw.īenwood - Love this brewery and love this beer. Renamed to Hop Butcher for the World in 2016.
