I just posted about the 2007 Empire State Brewing and Music Festival. Being held on the exact same day (Friday, July 20) is the 2007 edition of the Belgium Comes to Cooperstown event. They have changed their format from previous years and tickets are available by advance sale only. They had 1,400 paid attendees last year, over half of whom showed up on the day of the event. So this year they are limiting the crowd to 800 people. Camping on-site is still available.
The Friday event is actually sold out, but tasting tickets are still available (at $60, see the site for details) for the event on Saturday July 21.
Ommegang has a lot of great people and it brews terrific beer in a gorgeous setting. It's worth the trip from almost anywhere, but Central New Yorker beer lovers have no good excuse not to visit the place!
