I have tried it and I didn’t like it. YMMV. It’s also insanely expensive - about $18 for a four pack of 12 oz bottles.

This is why the best beer (on average) in the world is NOT from Germany, but Belgium. Their Trappist breweries set a standard of quality that very few German breweries--let alone American craft brewers!--can match.

In these parts we have wonderful brew from
Ommegang Brewery in Cooperstown. It’s brewed
in the style of the Trappist Monks, but lay
people run the mill.
It is expensive and it IS wonderful!
Cheers!

If they employ Germany’s purity laws, they’ve got a steady customer. Beer is made of malt, hops, sugar, and water. Nothing else. American breweries leave something to be desired by adding cheap grains like corn, rice, and wheat into the malt. The American brews taste like a cheap imitation which they are.
Let’s hope these guys are better. Let’s hope they hold to the German purity laws.

You guys are making me thirsty with this post! 🍻🍺🍻

Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy. And God made whiskey to prevent the Irish from taking over the world.

Belgian beer doesn’t follow the Reinheitsgebot (German Purity law, 1516). It’s not unusual to add candi sugar to bigger beers, like doubles and triples, to get get the specific gravity of the wort up and increase attenuation of yeast. It’s common to add other adjuncts, like fruit, spices, etc.
They also use spontaneous fermentation to produce some of the most amazing beers in the world-—lambic!

My Bro and I just shared a bottle of Three Philosophers this past weekend. It’s a very nicely done Quad.
I would love to visit Ommegang. It’s on the list!
