I was just about to post a list of favorite beers when I looked at my local brewery's website and what did I see? WAFFLES & PUPPETS festival at BREWERY OMMEGANG near Cooperstown.
At least now I know what I'm doing this weekend! I strongly recommend that you check out the full line of beers from this company. They are an independent brewery started by importers of Belgian beers, and they make three distinct styles of Belgian-style ales: Ommegang, Hennepin, and Rare Vos. Though the brewery was recently purchased by the Duvel company (a Belgian brewer) plans are to expand their facilities in Cooperstown. Hooray!
I was just reading the Ommegang site, and this Saturday's event will mark the permanent addition of a new beer to their lineup: Three Philosophers!. Three Philosophers is one of the heartiest, lip-smackingest beers I've ever tasted; it's perfect for gnawing on a leg of some roasted animal while sitting next to a roaring fire on a bitter cold evening.
Anyway, I'm excited about that bit of news and I'm looking forward to my diversion this weekend!
