OUR WEEKEND BEER PICK
With summer now upon us and temperatures soaring, we’re dialing things back at the ACB compound and Victory has brewed an authentic German-style lager that we’ve been hitting a lot lately. Victory Helles Lager is 4.8% ABV pleaser that’s a nice take on a style that more and more brewers have been returning to lately.
