There a burgeoning number of articles concerning the dwindling hop supply throughout the world this year. The Wall Street Journal features a small video segment on brewers in Vermont (like Otter Creek) commenting on how it is effecting their business.

Today marks Frank’s 30th birthday, and what a perfect experience we all had. I mean, Foodery? Standard Tap? Only a party for Kate would be nearly comparative.

Interesting article in the WSJ regarding bars using thicker glasses to pour less beer; this comes in the face of inflation pressure…. Read the WSJ Article here.

Three cheers for Victory!!!
The restaurant is finally complete (on time too) and the timing could not be better! Unnecessary to say the beer is… we all know how tasty and really well made it is….but the food, now that another story…..I have been stating numerous times to friends and family that the old Victory pub and restaurant tasted and felt like a blown-up version of the Moose Lodge or an FOP hall. Now you enter a real, honest to Jesus, restaurant with lots of attentive wait staff and plenty of tables. The décor is modern brewery sheik; they took old brew kettles lids and buffed the copper plates to provide a perfect brewery ambiance - charming and nostalgic…kudos to their interior design.
Now, the important part - the food. Needless it has improved. How improved? Burgers were cooked to exact specs, ingredients tasted fresh and the pizza did not taste like it did in high school (well it kinda still did, but trust me it was like prep school not South Philadelphia High). Anyway, give Victory a shot for dinner or lunch sometime real soon, it is worth your hunger and that is a real statement.
