I went to college in Oneonta, NY. It was there that I developed a passion for real beer. Oneonta is 10 miles from Cooperstown, where the Baseball Hall of Fame is. Cooperstown is home to Cooperstown Brewery (actually in border town of Milford), which is a maker of English style ales. Close by is also Ommegang Brewery. I have to admit- I wasn't a big fan of Belgian Ales until after I left college and moved long away from Oneonta.
Ommegang is served in just about every state. If you haven't tried one, you should start.
Yesterday I was in a drinking mood so I bought a 6 pack of Troegs Dreamweaver Wheat (so good- possibly my favorite interpretation of a hef) and decided I'd pick up a bottle of Ommegang Hennepin. Both were stored warm and I needed beer so I froze the Hennepin and couple DW's.
I opened the Hennepin after a half hour into an appropriate drinking glass and started drinking it. Very balanced, very delicious, but what strikes me most about this beer is how great this strain of yeast is. Does anyone have info on their yeast?
