Restaurant Review: Victory Brewery in Downingtown, PA 19335 1
Victory Brewery,
420 Acorn Lane,
Downingtown, PA 19335

I love a good restaurant and it’s even better when it has good beer. About a year and a half ago, my family (dad, mom, brother, his wife, my wife and kid) took a tour of the brewery, just for something to do. The tour was really interesting. We then stayed and had dinner. This was before they renovated the restaurant, and the food was decent, and the beer was fantastic.
Since then they have totally renovated the restaurant and it has a great atomosphere and -even better- is smoke free! They also “Quiet” section towards the back, which is great for bringing young children because there is just enough noise that an upset kids doesn’t bother others too much, but not too much noise so that you can’t hear the person across from you.
One really great aspects of going to the restaurant is that they have some fantastic beer on tap that you can’t get elsewhere. Plus you can get a growler of fresh brewed beer filled there for a great price.
Dishes I recommend is the jerk grinder which is pleasantly zippy, and not dry, and the jerk veggie wrap special a moist blend of seasonal vegetables, again hitting the right spice note. I also LOVE the trice fries – “POTATO FRIES, SWEET POTATO FRIES AND LEEKS SERVED WITH CHIPOTLE MAYONNAISE ” – HMMMM good!!
I highly recommend Victory Brewing Company in Downingtown, PA 19335 for it’s beers and restaurant.

Beer & food event at wegman in downingtown, pa 19336 Comments Off
About a month ago I walked into wegsmans in Downingtown, pa 19335 and was very surprised to see a Brand new, HUGE section of beer. And not just budlight, but good, local beer. It was clear someone gave the selection some serious thought.
I was curious how this was legal because in pa grocery stores are not allowed to sell beer. Luckily one of my past clients is a manager there and she told me that since they technically have a resaurant there that they are allowed to sell beer. What a fantastic marketig move!
I was there the other morning meeting a friend for breakfast and I saw that they will be having a “Beer & Food pairing event” on June 13th and a few of the breweries the sell their product there at wegmans. It sounds like a really fun event, especially if you like good beer.
Event Information
What a great way to start summer! Stop by any of our Wegmans stores in Pennsylvania to taste great beers and easy entertaining foods that complement them. You’ll also be able to talk to regional brewery reps and our own culinary experts!

Downingtown High School Band Marches in Indianapolis 500 parade Comments Off
I recently found out that the Downingtown High School Marching band played and marched in the Memorial Day parade for the Indianapolis 500. What a priviledge!
The 2009 IPL 500 Festival Parade was on May 23. The Parade is a 52-year tradition that attracts more than 300,000 spectators to the two-mile route. During this celebration spectators will have the chance to catch a glimpse of the 33 starting drivers of the 2009 Indianapolis 500®, nationally-known celebrities including Grand Marshal Dick Vitale, more than 80 specialty units, spectacular floats, marching bands and entertainment groups, giant inflatable balloons and costumed characters.
When I attended Downingtown High School, I was very involved in music and arts. I sang in many of the choirs, was involved in the orchestra in elementary school and even participated in the musicals Oklahoma and West Side Story. I remember getting to perform in a sorts of places with the Downingtown choir and what a memorable experience. Plus it taught me how to work hard and what that brings.
So, congrats to the Downingtown High School marching band! I hope you enjoyed it!
