(Re) Introducing Helios Ale. Victory Brewing has rebranded the former V-Saison and now introduces Helios Ale. This bottle-conditioned, Belgian-inspired ale remains the same refreshing ale that you enjoyed as V-Saison, however, in a more approachable, less expensive 22 oz capped bottle. Helios Ale has an earthy, aromatic hop start and shifts into aspects of lemon peel and black pepper. This is a quenching, invigorating ale, despite its substantial strength.

This style was developed to refresh farm workers during harvest season in its native Belgium. Though such high alcohol is surprising to imagine as suitable for ‘refreshment,’ it does seem to fit the Belgian philosophy on enjoyment of their beloved beer.

Inspired by the Bear Republic team’s passion for racing, Grand-Am™ is an American Pale Ale worthy of the “Racer” family. True to the brewery's roots, this sessionable yet assertive ale balances both classic and new American hop varieties with a distinct malt backbone. Start your engines…

This beer is indeed a complex and surprising combination of flavors, but behind the fancy title is simply delicious Stone IPA dressed up in new Belgian duds. The addition of a carefully selected strain of Belgian yeast adds unexpected layers of flavors and aroma, providing a deliciously funky overtone to the hoppy brightness you already know and love as Stone IPA. Think of it as an otherwise identical twin to Stone IPA that was raised in a Belgian culture.

Don’t let the name scare you. This hybrid IPA’s bitterness blends with the subtle dark chocolate flavors provided by cocoa nibs and chocolate malts. It is then enhanced by bitter orange peel additions and a dry hopping of Citra.

ALT-ERATION, the 2012 World Beer Cup Gold Medal winning Altbier, is brewed using old world techniques, high quality German malts and noble hop varieties. The brewery blends a base of German Pilsner malt with hefty portions of Munich, Vienna and a touch of de-bittered black malt. Alt-eration undergoes a multiple temperature mashing program to produce a classic upfront maltiness with a clean and crisp finish.  Das Alt is hopped with Mt. Hood, Hallertauer Hersbrucker and Czech Saaz to provide a bitterness and level of earthy hop spice that plays a fancy partner to the classic German malt backbone.

This holiday dunkelweizen practically unwraps itself with hints of Texas peaches and pecans. Caramelized malts give it a uniquely rich malt body that's perfect for the holidays.

Intense and warming, this indulgent lager is brewed with over a half-pound of malt in each bottle, almost enough for a loaf of bread.  Brewed by monks since the 13th century, double bocks are one of the original “big beers”.  The bold malts create a deep mahogany color, rich caramel sweetness and smooth body that’s balanced by the subtle citrus of German Noble hops.

Session Fest is a Czech-style strong lager called polotmavé or literally “light dark or semi-dark.” Session Fest has a medium-to-full body balancing candy caramel and full malt flavors that are underscored by a spicy hoppiness that provides a nice perfume with citrus and pine overtones and a long clean finish.

Gabe’s 2015 Release is a beautiful candy coated, malty, hoppy YUM YUM. Great malt character with Ahtanum hops. The high hop content and ABV make this a beer worthy of “cellaring."

Narwhal Imperial Stout is inspired by the mysterious creature that thrives in the deepest fathoms of the frigid Arctic Ocean. Featuring incredible depth of malt flavor, rich with notes of espresso, baker’s cocoa, roasted grain and a light hint of smoke, Narwhal is a massive malt-forward monster. Aggressive but refined with a velvety smooth body and decadent finish, Narwhal will age in the bottle for years to come.
