Victory Brewing Company Rolls Out DirtWolf Double IPA
Double IPA Marks Brewery Entry into Four-Pack Format
DOWNINGTOWN, PA, October 3, 2013 – Victory® Brewing Company (Victory) is pleased to announce the first in its series of new arrivals, DirtWolf Double IPA. The newest beer in Victory’s brand lineup is part of the brewery’s initiative to increase beer production to meet customer demand, in addition to offering a greater variety of styles and brands, a practice celebrated by the craft brewing industry and its loyal consumers.
Hitting shelves and dining establishments beginning this week, the suggested retail price for DirtWolf Double IPA is approximately $9.99, depending on location; this brand marks the brewery’s first foray into the four-pack market. Known for melding traditional styles and unique concepts to produce the highest quality, full flavored beers, Victory’s DirtWolf Double IPA continues the brewery’s standard of innovation and excellence.
Why DirtWolf Double IPA
Wildly assertive, intentionally untamed and dangerously satisfying, DirtWolf Double IPA is the culmination of Victory’s Double IPA series experiment with whole flower, American-grown hops. With two-row German malts and a well-balanced combination of whole flower Citra, Chinook, Simcoe and Mosaic hops, this 8.7% ABV brew blends the powerful citrus aroma and fruity flavors, with the piney, earthy and mildly floral characteristics found in these intriguing hop varieties.
“We’re very proud to bring this delicious new double IPA, DirtWolf to market,” said President and Brewmaster, Bill Covaleski. “As brewers who enjoy experimenting with beer styles and ingredient varieties, we are constantly looking to keep our core audience captivated and interested while creating opportunities to attract and introduce those new to the craft brewing movement. We think, and hope, everyone will be as pleased as we are with the result.”
DirtWolf Double IPA Availability
DirtWolf Double IPA is available for purchase in most major gourmet grocery stores, bottle shops and beer distributors, as well as many craft beer bars throughout Victory’s national distribution footprint, including most Whole Foods Markets and Wegmans locations along the East Coast.

FLYING FISH BREWING COMPANY TO RELEASE NJ350 ANNIVERSARY ALE COMMEMORATING NEW JERSEY’S UPCOMING MILESTONE
SOMERDALE, NJ – To honor the upcoming 350th Anniversary of the state of New Jersey, Flying Fish Brewing Company (900 Kennedy Boulevard,856-504-3442), the largest brewery built in the state since prohibition, will brew a commemorative beer named NJ350 Anniversary Ale. Beginning in early 2014, NJ350 will be available in 750ml bottles and on draft at bars, restaurants and retail stores throughout the state of New Jersey, and regionally in Delaware and Pennsylvania.
“We’re Jersey proud and very excited to be part of the official NJ350 celebration. For this momentous brew, we’d like input from Jersey beer lovers to suggest ideas for the recipe,” says founder Gene Muller, who has been crafting beer in the state since 1995.
Over the next few months, leading up to the NJ350 brew in February 2014, Flying Fish would like to invite New Jersey beer lovers to help them determine NJ350’s style and ingredients by posting suggestions to Flying Fish’s Facebook page: Jersey Fresh Ale.
NJ350 will join Flying Fish’s other Garden State tribute beers, including Forever Unloved (F.U.) Sandy and the popular Exit Series. F.U. Sandy, a hybrid wheat-pale ale, raised more than $70,000 for the victims of the storm-ravaged Jersey shore after Hurricane Sandy, and the on-going Exit Series highlights a distinctive aspect of each exit on the New Jersey Turnpike through the ingredients in the brew.
Flying Fish produces a range of beers year-round, along with a variety of seasonal specialties. The brewery recently moved into a new facility in Somerdale, which will ultimately allow them to quadruple production. The facility boasts a wealth of sustainability features, enabling the very eco-conscious business to brew their award-winning beer in the most environmentally friendly way possible. A new tasting room just opened to the public, and tours are offered Tuesday through Saturday every week.
For more information about Flying Fish, please visit them online at www.flyingfish.com or call (856) 504-3442. Beer lovers can also follow Flying Fish on social media: via Facebook and Twitter.
