Victory Brewing Company and Tastykake Launch Koffee Kake Ale

Locally brewed. Locally baked. Locally loved. Victory Brewing Company has teamed up with fellow iconic Pennsylvania brand Tastykake to create something tasty that is sure to please their fans in Pennsylvania and beyond.

Victory Brewing’s Tastykake Koffee Kale Ale takes the delicious flavors of Tastykake’s Koffee Kake Cupkakes and transforms them into a 6.0% sweet ale with notes of pound cake and cinnamon. As a Jersey boy who grew up eating Tastykake Koffee Kakes, I couldn’t wait to try this out for myself.. And let me tell you, it lives up to the hype, it’s damn good!

Want to try it out for yourself? This limited-time offering will be making its way to Victory Taprooms in Downingtown, Philadelphia, Kennett Square and Parkesburg on 12/22, and will be available at your favorite beer retailer (in six-packs of 12-ounce bottles) soon. You can use the Beer Finder at VictoryBeer.com/BeerFinder to find out where it’s being sold at.

“Brand crossovers are on the rise in craft beer for the unique and special value they bring to drinkers. As Victory entered the world of collaboration, it was especially important for us to select a partner whose identity, values and flavor profiles would align with ours in a way that connected with our loyal fanbase,” Kelly Irvine, brand manager of Victory Brewing Company, explains.

Ashley Hornsby, Tastykake brand manager, adds, “We are thrilled for the opportunity for Tastykake to collaborate with Victory Beer on such a unique and tasty mash-up. We believe the Koffee Kake Ale brings the best of these two iconic brands together in a flavorful way for our passionate fans.”

While Tastykake is still mostly a regional phenomenon, it’s hard to say how this will perform outside of the Tri-state area. But hopefully just the flavor profile will convince people to give it a shot. If it catches on, maybe they’ll do some more collaborations with Tastykake in the future. Me, I’d love to see them do something with a Butterscotch Krimpet, as that’s by far my favorite.

Tastykake Koffee Kake Ale will be available in 6-pack 12 oz. bottles and draft until early March 2024, while supplies last. Be sure to try it the next time you’re out, and let us what you thought of it in the comments section below!
