New brews from Ommegang
From a press release today, Ommegang announces it’ll be supplementing its regular lineup with a roll-out of specialty beers in 750s and draft. Some of these already exist, but they’ll be tweaked.
- Jan-Feb 2010: Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence Stout. Very slightly revised for the 2010 edition.
- Mar-Apr: Ommegang BPA (Belgian-style Pale Ale). 5.8% abv. 5 malts, 2 hops, and dry-hopped. Citrus & tropical fruit aromatics.
- May-Jun: Ommegang Tripel (name not yet confirmed). Around 9%, spiced, in test brew stages now.
- Jul-Aug: Ommegang Sour Ale. Around 6% ABV. Oud Bruin style beer made in collaboration with Liefmans of Belgium. Name TBD.
- Sep-Oct: Ommegang Scotch Ale. A new Belgo-Scotch mash up. ABV, name and recipe still to be confirmed.
- Nov-Dec: Ommegang Adoration. Still 10% ABV, still malty, still big and spicy. But may be tweaked a bit.
Additionally, Ommegang says it’ll be pouring beers from a pilot program, at its Cooperstown brewing plant only. The first is described as “a Belgian-ish porter” called Porter, Sorter. It’s warm-cellaring now and should be released before the end of January.
Finally, they’re doing some high-gravity aging in bourbon barrels.
Looks like a fun year from a great brewery.

Cooperstown, huh? Might be worth a visit. Is there anything else to do up there?
