Victory's commitment to the environment runs deep. It was the nearly pristine water that led Bill and Ron to establish the first brewery in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. This water source, the East Branch of the Brandywine Creek, is a large part of the great flavor of Victory beer that our fans have come to love. When we outgrew the Downingtown brewery, it was a simple decision that our next location would need to have the same water source, which is why our state-of-the-art Parkesburg, Pennsylvania brewery is located just 17 miles away and receives its water from the West Branch of the Brandywine Creek. In order to continue delivering consistently delicious, flavorful beer, it is critical that we keep the water clean, not just in our local Chester County, but across the country.

Five years ago, Bill and Ron established the Headwaters Grant, named for the beer which pays homage to the importance of clean water. For every bottle of Headwaters purchased, a portion has been donated to the Grant. Victory has been able to donate nearly $35,000 to local water advocacy groups and make a great difference. With your help, we can make an even larger impact. Please join us in our September events (river clean-up, fundraising party and 5K) as we relaunch Headwaters Ale, which is now available in cans, and help protect the local water sources that are partly responsible for the great beer you enjoy.
