This season, Victory Brewing Company is shouting their love of summer from rooftop to oceanfront to unite summer enthusiasts under one flag: the Flip Flop Nation. The brewery’s Flip Flop Nation rallies like-minded summer revelers around an optimistic mantra: Plant your flag! This is your beach, your party, and your official beer of summer. To live and breathe this sunny sentiment, the brewery is bringing together three summer essentials: 1. Summer Love – an official craft beer for summer, 2. Memory-making Flip Flop Nation events, and 3. A Flip Flop Nation oceanfront beach getaway.
Summer Love – An Official Craft Beer of Summer
Brewed every summer since its 2010 debut, Victory’s Summer Love is a fan favorite throughout the East Coast. This 5.2% Golden Ale is all about good vibes with family and friends like celebrations after a ball game and legendary beach parties. Victory Co-Founder, Bill Covaleski says, “The lemony lift of whole flower hops floating above a lean and clean malt body continues to satisfy thirsts and add to warm summer memories, both old and new.” Summer Love is a refreshing beer featuring lemony hop notes that create an unexpected burst of flavor and a vibrant taste that you will never forget. It is just what you expect from a taste of sunshine.
Memory-making Flip Flop Nation Events
This summer, Victory will bring the beach to patios, rooftops and beyond throughout their mid-Atlantic home including the following featured events:
Victory’s #FlipFlopNation Beach Party at Spruce Street Harbor Park Barge Area
Victory is bringing a #FlipFlopNation beach party to one of Philadelphia’s most popular parks, Spruce Street Harbor Park Sustained by Univest. This four-day pop-up event on the floating barges along the waterfront will give Philadelphians who can’t make it to the coast a little taste of the beach, #FlipFlopNation style. From sand to beach umbrellas and Summer Love pints, the barges will be completely transformed into a “down the shore” escape with vibes that come straight from the oceanfront. The pop-up opens at 5 PM on Wednesday, July 17 with the main party on Friday, July 19 from 7-11 PM.
#FlipFlopNation Bash at Summerfest Live! at Xfinity Live!
Celebrate summer with Victory at one of the largest beer festivals of the season, Summerfest Live! at Xfinity Live on Saturday, July 20! Located in the valet lot, the #FlipFlopNation Bash will feature a 10-foot volleyball court, backyard games like cornhole, ladderball and putterball, free airbrushed tees and tanks, delicious Victory beer samplings, #FlipFlopNation swag, a chill zone, and awesome Victory merchandise available for purchase.
Flip Flop Nation Oceanfront Beach Getaway
Like many Victory drinkers, Victory finds its summer home away from home “down the shore” on the oceanfront in beautiful southern New Jersey. Summer aficionados can join Victory in their lively beachside celebration of summer by tagging @VictoryBeer and #FlipFlopNation for your chance to win an Oceanfront Beach Getaway.

Limited Releases Bring an Extra Special Touch to Sunny Days
In addition to Victory’s Summer Love release and Flip Flop Nation experiences, Victory fans will be delighted this summer by two additional special releases. Welcome Liberty Bell Ringer Double Dry-hopped Double IPA and Rose Monkey White Wine Barrel-aged Belgian Ale. In Liberty Bell Ringer, Victory brewers packed double the dry-hops, twice over late in the brewing process. This makes the DDH DIPA sing with massive tropical, fruity hop flavor and aroma. On the other end of the flavor spectrum, Rose Monkey is a barrel-aged take on the brewer’s famous Golden Monkey. Aged to mystical perfection in Chardonnay oak barrels for months, it’s then put into finishing tanks where 100% real cherry juice is added for a bright, fruity finish. Both beers are available for a limited time this summer while supplies last.
