Is Victory Ranch a beer by itself?

The early versions of Ranch(what you would call a single hop series) were pilot versions that with feedback and tweaking became the ranch that was bottled and released as Hop Ranch. http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/345/104028/

 

The biggest issue I see is that there are reviews there for Hop Ranch, which is not that beer. I can see why people are getting confused though.


I've seen bars sell "Ranch" on tap with no specified hop(s). I'm not sure if that was just an oversight on the part of the bars, or if Victory was selling one simply as "Ranch."

 

There were a handful of Ranch Variations.

Ranch, Ranch S, Ranch R, Hop Ranch, and possibly some single hop variations.

 

So if Hop Ranch may or may not = "Hop Ranch," what are we to think of Hop Ticket??

All good here, though: Victory, keep producing quality IPA/DIPA's and you can call them whatever the heck you want!!

 

There was one called Ranch. They made several varieties of it. I used to see some bars sell it simply as "Ranch." Normally I'd tell you to ask the people at the bar, but you already stated that they aren't sure.

 

I would think at this point the 'Ranch' experiments as described nicely by @FatBoyGotSwagger are concluded, so what you're seeing on tap as "Victory Ranch" should indeed be the actual Hop Ranch release that culminated from that tweaking... guess it is hard to guarantee though. Although, if they are the experimental varieties, they are pretty damn old by now!
