I LOVE Victory. Been a while since I've been there, not since they've remodeled.

*sigh* The trip was full of FAIL, beer-wise. Didn't get there until shortly after noon, took me 30 mins to find a parking spot and there wasn't much within walking distance (that I knew of anyway), so we ate a late lunch about a block away---but I still managed to have a decent brew with lunch, even though it wasn't a brewpub/beer bar. Wasn't paying so I wasn't complaining. Wanted to stop at Victory on the way home but it just didn't pan out.

BUT...I'm taking the wife back there very soon (possibly next week), just us two. She's a huge history buff and studies the Revolutionary War a lot, so that'll put us back in the area and I'm sure I'll be able to persuade her to hit Victory, etc. afterward.

So I certainly do appreciate the suggestions and information, even if it didn't work out this time. Sometimes you gotta take a knee and prove that you can go somewhere that doesn't directly involve beer, even just once.

Thanks again.

Thanks. Thought about that too, never been there. She does want to check out Valley Forge...

I heard Valley Forge is lame compared to Gettysburg. I have never been to Gettysburg but I have been to Valley Forge many times so I am guessing it is probably true.

I don't get it.

Yeah, but you're talking about two distinctive time periods in American history and historical sites associated with those time periods. I've not been to Valley Forge in a number of years, but always found it to be a nice way to spend an afternoon walking the grounds.

Definitely apples and oranges. But aside from the historical differences, Gettysburg is only 30 mins from here and I've been to ABC---oh, a few times.
