Victory Brewing Co. just flooded your inboxes with their national September mailer, which happens to detail tons of events you do not want to miss. Click here if you are a procrastinator and have yet to sign up, we will pass along the info just this once!
But, of all the info that the Downingtown-based brewery dished about in their recent online newsletter, what we are most excited about is their first-ever Victory coffee beer, as made by collaborating with One Village Coffee. Personally being equally a craft beer and coffee snob, this is a match made in liquid heaven!
Want to see the step-by-step of it all? Below is information passed along from Victory Brewing Co., also seen on their beer blog.
Watch the evolution of Victory Village, check out all three episodes:
Episode 1: Collaboration is King
Episode 2: Cupping at One Village Coffee
Episode 3: Victory + One Village Coffee Beer finally released
Message from Victory: Well, it finally happened. After months of plotting and planning and collaborating the Victory Brewing Co. and One Village Coffee project, here and after referred to as Victory Village, is finally being released to the public.
This coffee beer is not like your typical coffee beer in that we (Victory + One Village) decided to steer clear of the heavier stout or porter style and really expose the coffe flavor through a British style Brown Ale. The result: A coffee beer like no other. You have to taste it to believe it. It’s a beautiful, and uniquely balanced, combination of coffee and beer. Not too much beer to muddle the coffee flavor, not too much coffee to make an ‘adult’ Starbucks product.
It’s been a pleasure to work with the One Village team and are proud to support their unique vision of creating a ‘not-just-for-profit’ roasting house that supports the communities of their suppliers in developing countries around the globe.
Are you still reading this? Why?

And, after all this Victory info, we’d be regretful if we didn’t suggest you grab your calendars and reserve October 3, noon to 4 p.m. for the Annual Downingtown FallFest, the local street festival fully equipped with a Victory Beer Garden!
