(Downingtown, PA) Victory Brewing Company, an independent craft brewery located in Downingtown, PA, has brewed three small batch specialty beers at the commission of the German Hop Growers Association. The styles crafted include a Select Pils, Tettnanger Pils, and Sapphire Belgian Strong Ale. Each of these three beers were brewed to showcase the high quality hops produced in Germany to potential American brewing clients. These filtered beers were produced as a collaborative effort between Eric Toft, American-born, German-trained Brewmaster of Private Landbrauerei Schonram, and Victory Brewing Co. The German Hop Growers Association sends Victory the hops, Eric formulates the recipe and Victory brews the beer. read more »

The beer list includes about 40 imported brews of which about a dozen are on tap. I couldnt resist starting the day with a bottle of Kostritzer Swartzbier and then moved on to a dark draft (Spatan Octoberfest). The menu items were authentic Bavarian, delicious and reasonably priced. The dcor includes a model train circling above the dining rooms. read more »

Bamberger Mahr's Brau Bock Bier Brauerei Mahr, Bamberg, Germany www.mahrs-braeu.de Mahr's Brau Bock Bier falls into the class of what can be found under the names of blonde, helles or maibock beers that are golden, not amber, colored. These lager beers tend to be a bit sweeter and maltier than their darker cousins.
