Victory Brewing Company will soon expand its distribution footprint to include Arkansas, officials announced on April 30.

Pennsylvania-based Victory Brewing will enter the market under distribution by Arkansas Craft Distributors.

Arkansas residents could get their first taste of Victory brews on May 9 at the Fayetteville Foam Fest craft beer festival.

“We’ve had many requests to bring our beer to Arkansas and are extremely excited we can finally oblige by offering our full-flavoured beer to these fans and introducing Victory Brewery to a new audience of craft beer lovers,” said Steve German, vice president of sales and marketing.

Founded by childhood friends, Bill Covaleski and Ron Barchet, Victory Brewery officially opened its doors in 1996. It has since grown to become the 26th largest craft brewery in the country, with distribution in 36 states.

It’s been an exciting couple of years for beer drinkers in Northwest Arkansas.
Retail shelves that were once dominated by bland-tasting macro brands are now filled with an enormous variety of delicious craft beer, including a host of local and national breweries.

Recent distribution into the state includes nationally-known brands like Prairie, Summit, Founders, Six Point, Southern Star, Horny Goat, Bayou Teche, COOP, and Kona.

At least two breweries are looking to enter the Arkansas market this year.
