Victory for the Headwaters, a daylong celebration and fundraiser, is being held by Victory Brewing Company on Saturday, September 12th from 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The event starts with a volunteer trash clean up and canoe trip down the Brandywine River.  Afterwards, the festivities continue at Victory’s Parkesburg brewery at 3127 Lower Valley Road where the Victory for the Headwaters fundraiser will be held, and the real party starts. 

As a part of the occasion, Victory Brewing Company will unveil the new packaging for its Headwaters Ale. The new look will pay homage to the Brandywine Watershed, the local source from which every Victory beer springs.

As one of the four basic ingredients in beer, water is fundamental not only in the production and flavor profile of all brews but most importantly in the health of our planet. Headwaters Ale was introduced 5 years ago, and at a time when the brewery’s environmental focus is at an all-time high, a portion of every Headwaters Ale sold will be donated to the Headwaters Grant.

“Just as a river forms from tiny droplets from the heavens, we see our engagement of a conscientious audience in the Headwaters Grant creating a larger impact,” explains Bill Covaleski, Brewmaster and President of Victory Brewing Company. “Craft beer fans are presented with innumerable choices of beers to purchase. Our goals is to help our fans make the connection that choosing Headwaters Ale, is more than just a taste preference, it is a decision to help preserve our planet one sip at a time.”

Tickets to Victory for the Headwaters can be purchased here and start as low as $10.  Packages for the fundraiser include $40, $75, and $200 options which contain a variety of perks including: pint glass, signed coasters, t-shirts, and a special group tour of the Parkesburg production tour with Victory’s owners.
