Founded in 1996 in a former Pepperidge Farm bakery in Philly’s Downingtown district, Victory Brewing Company has grown by hops, leaps, and bounds on the strength of their excellent, boldly flavored beers. Some of their most notable beers include the tart Hop Devil and the Prima Pils. If you want to see where the magic happens, Victory offers free tours Wednesday through Sunday. The brewery employs a cunning blend of traditional German beercraft with the latest environmentally-friendly technology: they recently installed 345 photovoltaic solar panels on the roof, offsetting their power consumption by a massive amount and making them one of the greenest major microbreweries in the country. Tour veterans rave about the experience, which ends with three extremely generous samples of any of Victory’s beers on tap. If you get peckish, the attached restaurant is surprisingly good. Victory Brewery Company also hosts a number of events and participates in Philly’s awesome Beer Week each June.
