About Southern Tier Brewing Company In 2002, Phin and Sara DeMink founded Southern Tier Brewing Company in Lakewood, New York with the vision of reviving the practice of small batch brewing to a region rich in brewing tradition.

About Victory Brewing Company Headquartered in Downingtown, PA, Victory Brewing Company was founded by Bill Covaleski and Ron Barchet. In 1996, Victory opened its doors to serve full-flavored, innovative beers melding European ingredients and technology with American creativity.

About Southern Tier Distilling With the Distillery being housed where the original Southern Tier Brewery was our history runs deep within our walls. Our small batch spirits are unparalleled and held to the highest of standards. Why? Because it’s not just the time we put into our spirits that makes us unique, it’s the grain, the passion and the thought as well. About Bold Rock Cider The story of Bold Rock Hard Cider starts with an unlikely partnership between two guys from different sides of the world. These two salt-of-the-earth characters – one a southern gentlemen, the other an affable bloke – founded Bold Rock in June of 2012 and since that time it has become the nation’s largest independently-owned cider company.
