A Night Of Victory Brewing Co.
Victory Brewing Co

On Thursday night, March 30th, Liberty Craft House welcomed Bill Covaleski, Co-Founder & Owner of Victory Brewing Company. Liberty tapped a dozen Victory kegs as it welcomed the guests and the owner of Victory Brewing Co to their craft house.

The event that started at 5 p.m. quickly filled up with people excited to try the new brews. For us, the night started off with a 20 oz of Mad King's Weiss, a delicious hefeweizen, and a Sour Monkey, which is a sour abbey tripel. The Sour Money tasted like a sour cider, which was more sour than cider-y. Crisp and refreshing, but too sour to drink several in one sitting. The Mad King's Weiss tastes like all hefeweizens do. It is delicious, smooth and refreshing, especially for a hefeweizen lover like myself.

During the beers and the conversations, we noticed the Victory owner walking around and conversing with people. After having a 20 minute chat with Bill about the history of his business, he handed us a couple raffle tickets and continued mingling with the rest of the guests in the craft house. I found it wonderful that he initiated conversations with the people drinking his beer. It was a wonderful way to get further involved with the people who enjoy his beer, and it was nice to be able to ask him questions without having the anxiety of coming up to him randomly.

The night continued with Kirsch Goes, a sour cherry rose with sea salt, that was particularly delicious. It was bold and bright as it overwhelms your tastebuds with a sour, sharp and sweet flavor of cherries. Not as tart as the Sour Monkey, but still sour enough that it will be loved by those who enjoy sour beers. It also has a gorgeous darker red color.

The raffle began after that, during which I, sadly, did not win anything. The one great thing about these events, however, is the gift of a free glass with the purchase of a Victory beer. So I was satisfied enough with my free glass.

After the sour, I switched to the hops and malts of a pilsner that was nicely packed within the Hip Czech Lager. It was a good break from the sour, it was clean and smooth with a slight herbal aroma. Next came a Braumeister Pils, a kellerbier, which was not my favorite but satisfying enough. A more dry type of beer and hoppier than the Hip Czech.

Although there were many more to try, I definitely had to call it a night after several full glasses of some Victory delicious-ness. Tonight's arraignment was primarily German-type beers, which is my absolute favorite type of beers, so Victory Brewing Co really made it's way to the top of my list.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
