Victory Winter Cheers Wheat Ale, DirtWolf Double IPA labels approved

Victory Winter Cheers Wheat Ale

See UPDATE below.

(Downingtown, PA) – Victory Brewing Co. received two new label approvals over the past week, signaling new seasonal offerings in the offing.

First things first, over the weekend, a Philly bar tapped what may be the first keg of Victory’s late summer (Aug-Sep) seasonal, Festbier.

What will follow it? While there could always be a plan to take Yakima Glory into the year-round rotation (considering co-founder Bill Covaleski called it the brewery’s “most popular seasonal to date” back in 2010), it doesn’t appear to be returning as a seasonal.

Victory Winter Cheers, a winter wheat ale, received label approval and looks to be replacing it in the fall (Oct-Nov) seasonal slot.

Victory DirtWolf Double IPA, which also received approval, would then hypothetically come after Winter Cheers in December-January timeframe. We aren’t sure where that puts Old Horizontal which was released last December. Please see UPDATE.

Also coming soon is Victory Red Thunder Wine-Barrel Baltic Porter, which will be released this month. No official date announced.

The brewery did not immediately return a request for more information on these items.

  1. What is the “holding deck?” I know they put it on hiatus at the end of 2011. I have a tweet that they released it at the end of 2012 (no idea how widely).
