The brewery: Victory Brewing Company, Downington, Pennsylvania
Description (from the website): "ROASTY, MALTY, & SLIGHTLY SALTY. Here at Victory Brewing Co., we love putting creative twists on traditional beer styles. Speaking of twists...our newest release, Pretzel Bier, delivers notes of warm, freshly baked pretzels with a toasted, slightly sweet finish. Using natural sea salt and a robust caramel malt, this 7.5% Toasted Ale takes all that’s special about a traditional Strong Ale and cranks it up a notch."
Would I buy it again? This is a tricky one for me, because in a vacuum this is a very good beer. Malty, kind of sweet, with a faint bit of saltiness. It's good and I enjoy drinking it. But when the Aldus pretzel beer exists, you really have to bring your A game, and this just doesn't compare. This tastes a bit like a pretzel, and while it's good, it isn't good enough. I'd take Aldus's pretzel beer every time.
