Brewery Ommegang

While on the road, my entourage and I passed by the Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, NY, and we decided to stop in for a tour and tasting!! http://www.ommegang.com

Welcome!!




The Brewery is situated in a really beautiful spot, on what used to be a hops farm, and on this day, the weather was just perfect to relax and try some delicious libations.






On the tour, you learn all kinds of interesting things about the brewing process - here is the main area where the fermentation happens




We also got to see the bottling room, where the large bottles imported from France are cleaned, filled, sealed, and labeled. I even got to help out!!




After the tour, we made our way over to the tasting room



All the beers at Brewery Ommegang are brewed with herbs and spices - orange peel, coriander, star anise, and others, and boy are they delicious!!



The best part of visiting Brewery Ommegang? Bringing home goodies!! The next time you're in Cooperstown, you should be sure to stop by Brewery Ommegang!!
