If I am not mistaken there have been a few different batches of it and I hear that the current selection is better than when I last had it....which was wicked harsh. Personally, I would be pushing for Trois Pistoles.
Victory makes some fine beers. Their pils is the best domestically made German style pilsener I have ever had (and I have had loads & loads of German pilseners).

I agree they know how to make Pilsners. It seems PA brewers in general are good with the style. Troegs, Stoudts, and SlyFox also make good pils. I guess its the German roots in PA...

Don't forget Penn Pils!
Thanks for the input folks, I'll let you know if we get some V-12 (although I'd imagine it needs a veeery long cellaring period to smooth out that 12%).

Brew what you like. Do this, and you will find your inner brewer.
Seriously, you guys should consider a short road trip and stock up on various brews rather than blowing the majority of your commercial beer budget on a single case of something....make a day of it, swing by Victory for lunch and brews at the source or something. Course if the case law passes, road trip not necessary.
..you all had me with the Pennsylvania pilsners 'till someone brought up sunshine pils, not a fan.
So we did a 4 way case buy, which works out to around $6.50 per bottle. Not bad imho. This is a good beer, not my favorite thing in the world but the thing that is amazing is how smooth it is for a 12% beer. It is balanced, rather clean tasting. A little less extreme in flavor than I imagined it would be. I would have liked to cellar it, but the other two went as gifts. I'm not sure I'd buy it again though, as it was good but not exceptional imho. One of the guys in the buy loved it though, so I suppose it's all a matter of taste .
