Hmm, is Victory available in my neighborhood? I'll have to check it out.
Binny's always has Victory when I am there.

In this FB group I'm in (German Brewing), they're all about this brewery and a couple of the guys posted pics of this particular beer (the helles) and said, "BEST LAGER EVER MADE!" or something like that. No, I have never had one. I bought three of those big 16-oz bottles of it and they're in the fridge now. Care to describe it to me? Why is it not a traditional helles?Ken- have you had Schlenkerla Helles? I wouldn't call it traditional as far as Helles go. If you haven't had it, your in for a treat or possibly a trick!

I think the Andechs Helles is one that Ken would love, that's available in the US. I haven't had a chance to try the Victory Helles, but I look forward to it. Victory used to be a really common brand around here, probably in every packie that sold more than BMC, but I don't see it much anymore.

Did not have one last night. I started around 6pm with one of my Czech Pilsners and stuck with that. I am brewing tonight so I'll probably try the Schlenkerla while I'm brewing.Ken- what's the verdict?

all I've ever had by them is hop devil which I never really enjoyed. people would give it to me b/c it was "extreme" and they figured I'd love it as a beer guy. it was way out of balance. I'd love to try some of their german styles.

The von Trapp brewery (yes, those von Trapps), in Vermont, have just started selling their beer down here. I've only had the Vienna Lager, so far, but I've been told that their Helles is excellent.
