Society Awards and Sycamore Team Up to Launch Limited-Edition “Taste of Victory” IPA

CHARLOTTE, NC - June 9, 2025 - Society Awards, the premier designer and manufacturer of luxury, custom, and limited edition awards, has partnered with Sycamore, the number one independently-owned craft brewery in North Carolina, to create a beer that celebrates winning in all forms. “Taste of Victory” (7.5% ABV) is Sycamore’s first packaged West Coast-style IPA– a bold, hop-forward brew bursting with classic citrus, pine, and floral notes, and balanced by a smooth, dry finish: perfect for post-win toasts or everyday triumphs. 

The collaboration came to life at The Line, an office and retail hub in the South End, where both companies are located. 

“At Society Awards, we believe in celebrating excellence, whether it’s poured into a glass or polished into gold,” said David Moritz, CEO of Society Awards. “This collaboration with Sycamore is about local Charlotte pride and toasting the wins that shape this city.”

The name is a playful nod to the spirit of celebration because while it might not literally taste like victory, whatever that means, it’s a fun way to toast one. The exclusive “Taste of Victory” IPA will be available for a limited time at Sycamore’s taproom.

“As Charlotte’s largest hometown brewery, supporting and collaborating with local businesses has always been part of who we are. And of course, nothing pairs better with a big win than a bold and tasty IPA,” said Richard Magrath, Sycamore president.

Since its founding in 2007, Society Awards has set the gold standard for recognition. Their custom-designed awards are seen on the biggest stages, including the Emmys, Golden Globes, MTV, and YouTube. Sycamore, founded in Charlotte in 2013 and known for its fan-favorite Mountain Candy IPA, has grown into one of the region’s leading craft breweries, with a flagship taproom, a second location at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, and distribution across six states.

This is one trophy you can drink from.
