Victory Brewing Company hopes to open its newest brewpub in Kennett Square by the end of April.

Victory Brewing Company, which is nearing completion of a brewpub in Kennett Square, was among three Pennsylvania brewers ranked among the “Top 50 Craft Brewing Companies” by the Brewers Association, the national trade association representing small and independent American craft breweries, a Victory press release said.

The ranking further supports Pennsylvania’s status as a top craft beer destination where brewers are just as serious and passionate about their suds as their fans. The top 50 list also included Hersey-based Tröegs and D.G. Yuengling & Sons Inc. in Pennsylvania.

With Pennsylvania’s 108 craft breweries and the second highest volume state for brewing, it’s no surprise that Philadelphia was chosen to host the National 2016 Craft Brewers Conference and has been cited as one of America’s “Best Beer Cities” by GQ, Wine Enthusiast, Esquire and Huffington Post, the release said.

“We are fortunate to be part of this region rife with vivid and important historical milestones in our industry,” Bill Covaleski, president and brew master of Victory Brewing Company, said in the release. “Our ranking is a source of pride for us and the entire region. Pennsylvania's deep brewing roots grow stronger with each craft brewery that opens here and each barrel we brew here at Victory.”

Founded by childhood friends, Covaleski and Ron Barchet, Victory officially opened its doors in February 1996 in Downingtown. In addition to its original brewery and brewpub, Victory recently opened a second state-of-the-art brewery in Parkesburg to expand production capabilities and serve fans of fully flavored beers in 35 states and 10 countries.

After some weather-related delays, Victory officials said they are hopeful that Victory at Magnolia in downtown Kennett Square, will open by the end of the month. To learn more about Victory Brewing Company, visit www.victorybeer.com.
