Brewery Ommegang. Belgian style ales brewed in Cooperstown, NY.

And I agree about the wow. My beer crazy friends insist it is up at the top for domestic brews.

it's sublime. I've been to the brewery, and the way they make it is quite interesting. To infuse it, they use a giant "tea bag" filled with spices that is dipped into the fermentation tank.

Figures that Conne would love the beer that's been teabagged.

Had a bottle. Didn't buy another. Then again, I know nothing about beer.

I buy it every so often. It's a great beer, but just a tad pricey (as far as beers go, anyway). A 750mL bottle usually goes for around $10, and they're not very easy to find (unless you live near a Wegmans, that is).

biggest thing I miss about NYC. Easily. Not only did the Wegmans I frequent have everything Ommegang, but they even had an Ommegang-only shelf ... in the produce department.

I didn't like it - to much like glogg to me. However, I seem to be the exception - all of the beer geek friends I have love it.
