One of its flagship brews, the Prima Pils, was recently featured among America's 50 best beers in a list from Mental Floss, a pretty nice honor in our opinion.

Pilsners may not draw the most beer-geek hype, but a clean, crisp example with just a bit of a floral hop bite on the finish can be heaven on a hot day. Or any day, really. If you’re looking for an American pilsner, look no further than Victory’s excellent take on the style that’s a little grassy, a little toasty, and extremely delicious.

Victory says Prima Pils is best with seafood, pizza, and burgers. The beer has a 5.3 percent alcohol content and is best served at 42 degrees Fahrenheit.

Two other Pennsylvania brewers made the list, and one is pretty close to Victory. Well, relatively close.
