Ommegang’s Ommegeddon is here. Lo and behold it’s a Brett beer, too! Brewers are just lovin’ the “funk” these days and no longer afraid of the crazy taste. We were told way back in February that this beer was going to taste like Orval. We’re just happy to see America’s first Belgian-inspired brewery get back in the game with something new and daring. We love the name (and the label). It’s right up there with Weyerbacher’s Blithering Idiot.

It’s our new 8% abv Belgian-style ale with a wild twist—a dose of Brettanomyces yeast and a blast of dry hopping. Ommegedon is a strong blonde ale with a sharp citrus flavor that, like the other Ommegang ales has a dry finish. It’s dryness and funkiness begat the name of Ommegeddon—for the time when the forces of light and dark battle for world dominion. It’s time for you to pick your side.

Also, coming tomorrow:
SILLY Scotch de Silly, a Belgian Scotch Ale (seems wrong, no?)
WITTEKERKE Rosé, a blend of Wittekerke and 10% raspberries

And let’s all give a hardy welcome home to Tommyknocker Imperial Maple Nut Brown. Now in 12oz singles or 6-packs.
