Triumph Brewing Company is a regional brewpub operator with locations in Princeton, New Jersey; Red Bank, New Jersey; New Hope, Pennsylvania; and formerly Philadelphia.
The original operating name, "Victory Brewing Company," was changed to avoid trademark disputes with an existing United Kingdom brand. This occurred before the Victory Brewing Company of Downingtown, Pennsylvania had yet to be established. Initial construction plans for a Lambertville, New Jersey location never materialized.
History
Renovation of the Princeton location began in the spring of 1994 and it opened to the public on March 19, 1995. The first purpose-built brewpub in the state, the {{convert|12000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} facility features {{convert|30|ft|m|adj=mid|-high}} cathedral ceilings, seating for over 275 people, and a two-story, glass-enclosed brewhouse. The non-automated 11-barrel stainless steel brewery was fabricated by Newlands Systems of Abbotsford, British Columbia. In 2006, The Star-Ledger called it "probably the state's grandest brew pub grandest,"{{cite news|last=Genovese|first=Peter|date=November 2, 2006|title=Home Brew|work=The Star-Ledger|url=http://www.nj.com/munchmobile/ledger/index.ssf?/munchmobile/ledger/stories/0827munchbeer.html|url-status=dead|access-date=November 26, 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070319002654/http://www.nj.com/munchmobile/ledger/index.ssf?%2Fmunchmobile%2Fledger%2Fstories%2F0827munchbeer.html|archive-date=March 19, 2007}} and in 2005, New Jersey Monthly described the interior as the "most architecturally striking" of any in the state. The brewing equipment is behind the bar and visible to patrons, and the decor is industrial chic.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}} The brewpub "has long produced more beer than any" other in the state.{{cite magazine|last=Levin|first=Eric|date=December 2005|title=Beer Here!|url=http://www.njmonthly.com/issues/dec05/brewpub.html|magazine=New Jersey Monthly|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061105055909/http://www.njmonthly.com/issues/dec05/brewpub.html |archive-date=November 5, 2006|access-date=November 26, 2006}}
Triumph's second location opened April 24, 2003, at Union Square in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Located on the site of a Union Camp Corporation paper bag manufacturing facility, this redeveloped building formerly served as storage for massive bulk rolls of paper. It is adjacent to the historic New Hope and Ivyland Railroad station and the James A. Michener Art Museum.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}}
Triumph's third location opened on April 4, 2007, at 117-121 Chestnut Street in Old City, Philadelphia. In 2014 this location was closed and sold to 2nd Story Brewing Co.{{Cite news|last=Klein|first=Michael|date=October 19, 2014|title=The stories behind 2nd Story Brewing in Old City|work=The Philadelphia Inquirer|url=https://www.inquirer.com/philly/blogs/the-insider/The-stories-behind-Old-Citys-2nd-Story-Brewing.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141220081123/http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/the-insider/The-stories-behind-Old-Citys-2nd-Story-Brewing.html|archive-date=December 20, 2014}}
