Victory Brewing Company Brings Back Moonglow Weizenbock for Fall

Agree about the beer!

The question is- will I be able to get it in NNJ? Barring that, can my sister even get it near Bethlehem, PA?
So far the beer finder on their website isn't being too helpful.

 

I've always bought cases of this in the fall, the best weizenbock I could get brewed in PA for ever...other than Ramstein out of New Jersey. Is this still super limited brewery only, someone sent me a bottle years ago, it was fantastic.

rotsaruch aka Rich how ya been, I haven't seen ya since Victory's 10th Anniversary celebration!

 

I bought my first Moonglow of the season yesterday. The bottling date was August 19th. I drank 1 bottle last night and I thoroughly enjoyed it: Yum!

Cheers!

 

For those of you that never met Rich, he's essentially Victory Brewing's "beer ambassador" checkout this video Victory's first commercial you can spot Rich running down the street in a couple scenes at the 48 sec and 1 min marks he's walking a dog and wearing a grey shirt and a blue ball cap!

Is this going to be widely distributed (e.g. DC area), or just PA only?

 

Word I've heard from chatting with a couple of retail distributors who sell a lot of beer for Victory is that when Victory got hit with their success "disaster" they had to cut back on production of some beers to keep their flagship line afloat. E.g., for a couple of years St. Victorious was either draft only or any that got bottled went only to the 5 county SEPA area, their "core" distribution area. Before that it had pretty much the same distribution footprint as most of the other Victory beers.

Now that the new brewery is up and running they are able to start returning some of those restricted beers to the line up of wider distribution. So I'm betting that if you saw Moonglow 3-4 years ago where you are you'll see it again this year. I'd guess that this also means we'll see St. Victorious returning to wider distribution and maybe even St. Boistrous.

 

If you could get it there 3-4 years ago there's a very good chance you'll see it this year.

 

I'm betting you'll see it in wider distribution this year, but all my information is second or third hand....

 

Great beer, pairs nicely with chocolate chip banana nut muffins.

 

Awesome!! Missed this one during the hiatus.

 

They were already out of cases when I was their this afternoon at the brewpub in downingtown. They still had some overpriced four packs. If anyone is chasing this delicious nectar exton beverage still had cases.

 

I'm guessing no MD for this one?

 

Too bad it's in 4-packs now, instead of 6'ers.

 

Still better than bombers though and I for one am pumped it is back. It is one hell of a beer and an amazing deal when purchased by the case.

Edit: my only gripe is the new logo. I thought the old logo was fine and did not need to be changed.

 

I'll be buying some as soon as I see it at one of the local shops/bars.

 

Had one the other night. I enjoyed it very much.

 

So buy three four-packs instead of two six-packs. Funny how math works like that, right?

I see Total Wine has it for $8.49/4 pk and seem to remember getting six packs for $12.99 ($11.99?) a couple of years ago. So the price hasn't gone up.

 

I'm glad they're bringing Moonglow back.. I wouldn't mind seeing more Weizenbocks.. they fit perfectly for spring, summer, winter, fall.. it doesn't matter the season, they hit the spot..
