New York: Ommegang, Three Philosophers quadruple ale
What does baseball and beer have in common? Many of us have enjoyed a cold brew at a baseball game. Besides that time, old tradition, baseball and beer have a lot in common at Ommegang Brewery in Cooperstown, New York.
Everyone knows that Cooperstown is the home to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Did you know that Cooperstown was also a huge producer of hops in the 1900s? Hops are the ingredient that makes beer taste so refreshing. Also, the Cooperstown area offers some great tasting water. Put those two ingredients together and you have a great tasting beer.
Ommegang was the first farmstead brewery built in the US in over 100 years. The brewery makes Belgium inspired beers with extreme attention to detail. From the ingredients used to the glasses the beers are served in, this brewery wants you to experience the best beer possible.
One beer that will have you sit and ponder a while is the Ommegang Three Philosophers Quadruple Ale. This highly complex beer is meant to be enjoyed slowly. The beer almost has a wine like quality to it. With flavors of raisins, chocolate and dark fruits, the description almost sounds like a wine. To best enjoy a Three Philosophers Quadruple Ale wait to the end of an evening or the end of a meal. It makes for a delightful dessert.
Ommegang is located in Cooperstown, New York and is available at various retailers.
