    Just picked up a case of this years St. Vick. Blown away how great it is. It's always fantastic, one of the best crafted brews. This year the smoked malt takes center stage, while the touch of juicy hops brighten the lagered goodness, just wow!

    I was just at the brewpub for a growler of K-Bomb and St. Victorious was not on draft. If you are local Exton beverage had some cases last Saturday

    I love that stuff, along with St. Boisterous. Haven't seen either one in what feels like at least two years. Definitely not at my stores yet this year.

    Thanks for the Mile Post tip. I have been looking around for this to no avail.

    I can confirm that the OP is spot on! This years St. Victorious is better than I can ever recall. The smoked malt had me doing a double take but I love it.

    I now can't wait to try this and I saw a ton at the Wegmans in Malvern this past weekend but I foolishly didn't grab any at that time. I was at the Whole Foods in Plymouth Meeting last night and it was already sold out (they only got two cases, apparently), but they did say that they have placed another order. I will hit up the Wegmans in KOP when I have a chance but no matter where I happen to come across it next, I will be grabbing some for sure! :slight_smile:

    Did this always have smoked malt in it? I don't remember it being this goddamn delicious. I would drink this every day of my life if I could.

    “Did this always have smoked malt in it?” Excellent question! It has been a while (a few years) since I last had St. Victorious so I just can’t remember that detail.

    “I don't remember it being this goddamn delicious. I would drink this every day of my life if I could.” A BIG +1 to that! I think that this year’s St. Victorious is OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!

    Cheers!
