I woke up this morning with great expectations. The sun was shining, a warm summer breeze blowing through the air, the smell of blossoming plants and then I opened my eyes. Rain. Thunder. Fog. And it was cold. And it will be happening all week long. Then I looked at the list of craft beer events happening this week. The clouds parted, the sun came back out and the annoying spitting from the dense fog that engulfed the city transformed into a soft mist reminiscent of the Irish countryside. Yea, craft beer has that affect on me.
Tuesday, May 17 – Empire Brewing Company Night @ Rattle n’ Hum, Manhattan:
Imagine you were taking a boat trip down the Erie Canal (10 points if you know where the Erie Canal is) rafting through the port towns of Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo and you wanted a beer. The obvious choice is Empire Brewing Company. Started in Syracuse and at

Heya all you Beer Friends out there! Today we are featuring the Victory Brewing Company out of Downingtown, Pennsylvania. Victory was founded in 1996 by Bill Covaleski and Ron Barchet. Before opening Victory Brewing Co., Coaleski and Barchet traveled to Europe to learn from the best brewers in Belgium and Germany. When they came back to the U.S. they brought with them century old brewing techniques heavily based in German traditions and combined it with their good ol’ American creativity to produce some of the best craft brew in the Northeast. The blogger Beerlass, writing for the website Philadelphia Restaurants, name Covaleski and Barchet the “Founding Fathers of Philly Beer.” A title they have definitely earned.
Victory is getting a special mention here with the Beer Friends due to their heavy involvement in New York City Good Beer Month. The Victory brewing team held several events here in the city including beer showcasing events at the Blind Tiger Ale House (Beer Friends recap of the night) and Sunswick 3535 and beer tastings hosted by the brewers at Jimmy’s No. 43. We love the cross-city craft brew cooperation!
Victory has several year-round flagship brews that are popularly imbibed throughout their 30-state distribution area. Let’s start with the Hop-Devil IPA. Using German Two-Row Malts and generous amounts of whole American hop flowers, the Hop Devil gives you a bitter, herbal punch in the face and then runs away with a malty smoothness. Very drinkable and definitely an eye-catcher on any menu. You can also find the “Wild Devil” that is a tarter version of the hop devil thanks to being brewed with wild yeast. (more…)
