    The winter seasonal release of Victory's Hop Ranch has started.

    http://www.victorybeer.com/beers/hop-ranch/

    It will be available in 12-oz bottles and on draft through Feb. 2016. Had my first one yesterday and it definitely reminded me of last year's offering. It's such a refreshing and tasty beer at 9%abv. Enjoy!

    Agreed....Hop Ranch is tasting awesome...also, I feel like I should say how great Dirtwolf is tasting right now. It's always been my favorite Victory beer...to be honest I wasn't that impressed with Hop Wallop...but I had a few Vermont DIPA's tonight, including a Lawson's Sip of Sunshine and IMO the DW stacks up if not beats most of the one's I tasted.

    How is it looking this year? First year, it was a great pale yellow. Last years (far inferior imo), was a few shades darker.

    I really enjoy Hop Ranch and will definitely pick some up.
    I haven't had Dirtwolf in awhile because I have seen any fresh in at least 6 months.

    I was at Wegmans in KOP and they said it will arrive on 12/21. I would think about getting a case at the brewery, but at PSU Mike pointed out...the first couple of batches of HR last year were off in color and taste...so I will probably wait and grab four pack to see comes out.

    As I understand, 4-pks and cases of Hop Ranch are available at all brewpub locations.

    As of Weds they still had case at D-Town, and I'm almost positive they have them at the other locations. From what I've heard they will roll out a few batches of this. But if you head over to D-Town or Parkesburg today I'd say you'll find some no problem.
