Awkward events last night led me to Victory Brewing Company in Downingtown, PA, about 45 minutes west of Philadelphia. The adventure began with a drive through Anywhere, USA and ended in an OFFICE PARK. Or at least what looked like an office park in the dark. Now, when I think of local breweries, I tend to think of historic brick buildings, not the monotonous industrial architecture of exurban office parks (of course, this could be because my point of reference for local breweries is Great Lakes Brewing Company).
Scenery providing the entertainment for the drive included: strip malls, strip malls, and strip malls. The interior of the brewery was about as interesting as its exterior. And the crowd consisted of they type of people who...well, the type of people who live 45 minutes west of Philadelphia.
Granted, the food was pretty good. And if you like Victory, the location and atmosphere are probably of little importance. But, all in all, I was underwhelmed. The whole experience was so...exurban.
