Monster Mutant Mashups?
Victory RELUCTANTLY explores the art of mixing beers.
It’s October and that means two things. Phillies post season baseball and Halloween. While we celebrate the Phightins every day, we thought this year we would throw a little treat into our bag of tricks. It’s no secret that ever since Bill and Ron started producing beer there have been Mad Beer Scientists who mix them together to see what happens. Some German trained brewers may scream in horror at the mere idea of mashing together their pure-bred flavors, but we convinced Victory Brewmaster Bill Covaleski to try these mutant beers on camera for the first time and give his real opinion.
For those mad ‘mixologists’ at home, here is a quick guide to the Victory’s Monster Mashups:
- Silver Back: 1/2 Golden Monkey and 1/2 Storm King Stout
- DarkDevil: 1/2 HopDevil and 1/2 Storm King Stout
- Monkey On The Moon: 1/2 Moonglow and 1/2 Golden Monkey
- Don King: 1/2 Donnybrook Stout and 1/2 Storm King Stout
- Mad Monkey: 1/2 Golden Monkey and 1/2 Mad King Weiss
- Victory Half n’ Half: 1/2 Prima Pils and 1/2 HopDevil
Have you created your own Mutants with Victory beers? Are we missing any from this list?
I prefer the Black Ho, storm king and old horizontal
Twilight Storm, 2 parts Yakima Twilight,1 part Storm King.
You forgot my two favorites.
12 monkeys and Monkeywallop
As a 10 year veteran beer chucker, i recommend the biggest monster of them all…1/2 old horizontal barleywine and 1/2 stormking stout.
I was just at Tap an Mallet this morning for the Victory Total Tap Takeover and my new favorite is Old 12. V12 mixed with Old Horizontal. It was amazing.
I'm kinda partial to Yakazonal…………..3/4 Yakama/ 1/4 Old Horizontal………….Then there's Yakazonal 12………OK….lets not go there!
My choice is the "Black Ho" which is 1/2 Old Horizontal and 1/2 Storm King. I like to think of myself as the unofficial creator, atleast in the south jersey area.
I like the 'thunderstorm'. Baltic and storm king…
Funky Monkey = 1/2 Monkey and 1/2 Fest.
And now I’m thirsty.

Fire Water! Scarlet Fire & Headwaters – better than you’d think.
Never had any of those, but Wopazontal, 1/2 old horizontal and 1/2 hop wallop is really good.
I always heard it as Dirty Old Ho (Storm King in the Old Horizontal). I first got it well before the expansion, so I’m unsure of whether it’s the original nomenclature.
The great people at the brewpub made this one, which is delicious. Love-Meister: 1/2 Summer Love and 1/2 Braumeister.
Monkey Julius! 2/3 Golden Monkey, 1/3 OJ, and a splash of champagne. Perfect “hair of the dog” morning drink.
Been mixing the storm king and hop devil for years. I called it a Storm Devil. Delicipus!
Never thought of doing this before seeing this video, but drinking the Victory Half and Half right now, and boy is it good! Should have known my two Victory favorites would be even better together.

A nice good ol’ fashion Victory Black and Tan? Not a hard one to figure out.
