Bottoms Up

While we’re talking about events, I just got this one from Victory Brewing, Downingtown, PA. Far from cheap, but then, maybe it is: a 10-day tour of pilsner breweries in Germany and the Czech Republic with Victory founders and Brewmasters Bill Covaleski and Ron Barchet.

Cost is $2,600 double occupancy, $2,800 for a single. Cost includes roundtrip air fair from Philadelphia to Frankfort, Germany and lodging. You pay for your own beer and food. Now THAT would be a hell of a great Christmas present, huh?

Victory’s one of the East Coast’s great craft breweries. My favorites include Hop Devil***, Prima Pils*** and the amazing, delicious Golden Monkey***+. Check out their beers here.
