Victory Brewing Company Philadelphia

Located at historic 1776 Benjamin Franklin Parkway, our taproom features a Prospero Brewing System, a full scratch kitchen, two indoor bars, one outdoor bar, outdoor seating on street level, and a rooftop patio with incredible views of the Parkway. The brewhouse serves as an innovation hub for Victory beer. Step inside our taproom and discover Victory's history, our unique story, and our love for Philly. The story of Victory Brewing Company starts on a school bus in 1973 when fifth-graders Ron Barchet and Bill Covaleski stepped aboard, on their way to a new school. The two became fast friends and remained so as they grew up and went to college on opposite coasts. Bill and Ron developed their love of brewing, and a friendly sense of ‘rivalry’ grew between the two. The good-natured competition pushed Bill and Ron to become accomplished home brewers, and as they both grew disenchanted with their jobs in the corporate world, they realized they should turn their hobby into a career. With the right knowledge, experience and a love for quality beer, on February 15th 1996 (after two years of planning), Bill and Ron opened Victory Brewing Company in what was once a Pepperidge Farm factory in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. Since then, Victory has opened locations across Chester County in Parkesburg and Kennett Square, and now Philly!
