Victory Brewing To Open Second Location In Chester
Victory Brewing is planning a second location in PA. Check out the press release for the rundown…
(Downington, PA) — Victory Brewing Company is opening a second brewery in Chester County, Pa., which will allow the company to continue to create new, innovative beers and additional employment opportunities.
In 2012, Victory’s current brewery in Downingtown, Pa. will reach capacity. In order to keep up with consumers’ demand for full-flavored, high quality beer, Victory is forging ahead with expansion plans.
“Our thirsty fans have been asking us for more,” said Bill Covaleski, President and Co-Brewmaster of Victory Brewing Company. “In order to give them what they want, we need more space to make it happen.”
The new brewery location was chosen because of its similarities to Victory’s home in Downingtown. Just as the home brewery recycled an old Pepperidge Farm factory, the expansion brewery is being built within an existing complex in Parkesburg, Pa. The Downingtown location is situated a mere 14 miles from the headwaters of the east branch of the Brandywine Creek and the Parkesburg brewery will be just 17 miles from the headwaters of the west branch.
Environmental impact and water quality were major considerations for this expansion. Nearly eight months of water-quality research found that the mineral composition of the west branch water is nearly identical to the east branch.
In keeping with Victory’s “locally brewed, locally loved” motto, the choice to expand was not made lightly. The Parkesburg location will allow Victory to produce even more locally brewed and locally loved beer.
“Growing into a new facility will have some growing pains,” said Ron Barchet, CEO and Co-Brewmaster of Victory Brewing Company. “But once we are up and running, it will allow us endless opportunities to experiment with new flavors and re-create old favorites.”
Victory Brewing Company is a privately held craft brewery headquartered in Downingtown,Pennsylvania. Begun by Bill Covaleski and Ron Barchet, childhood friends who met on a school bus in 1973, the brewery formally began operations in February of 1996. Victory, Pennsylvania’s widely acclaimed brewery and restaurant, now serves fans of fully flavored beers in 29 states with innovative beers melding European ingredients and technology with American creativity.
(Charlotte, NC) — NoDa Brewing Company, just 4 months young, has announced a capacity expansion. The brewery just purchased 3, 30 barrel fermenters.
“We have been absolutely pleased and amazed with the tremendous reception our beer has received in the Charlotte market since we opened our doors on October 29, 2011,” says Todd Ford, Owner and Brewery Manager of NoDa Brewing Company. “Our beer is currently available in over 80 local establishments, and that number is growing each week. To keep up with production, we needed additional fermentation vessels.”
The tanks come from Olde Mecklenburg based in Charlotte. They too are making room for more beer.
NoDa current can brew around 75 barrels (2,325 gallons). The new tanks boost the capacity to is 165 barrels (5,115 gallons). Recently, the brewery bottled their first beer – Tri-Umphant Ale. [PressRelease]
This is a big jump for a brewery. Lagunitas Brewing has plans to expand into 49 states after they get done expanding in April. The brewery is currently in 35 states. Whose left out? Tennessee. Stringent high alcohol laws prevent Lag’s beers from being sold there. (Good job prudes.)
Post expansion, Lagunitas will make a jump from 185,000 barrels (5,735,000 gallons) to 600,000 barrels (18,600,000 gallons). That’s basically going from making 61 million bottles of beer to 198 million. Big jump. The expansion entails a larger brewhouse, more fermentation space, larger kegging line, faster bottling line. Everything you need to make millions of gallons of beer, and in the hand of thirsty folks. In comparison, Leinenkugel’s makes close to the same among of beer, according to John Leinenkugel. This year should mark a 31% growth in sales for the Petaluma, California brewery. IPA is their best seller. [ShankenNews]
