Review of Ommegang Brewery

Anytime I'm in NY, I make it a point to stop here. I first visited Ommegang in 2005. Over the years it has grown in size and popularity. They make several great Belgian style beers, offer tours of the brewery, have a gift shop where you can buy swag...and their beer of course. About 4 years ago, they partnered with HBO to brew "Game of Thrones" themed beers. When they added the cafe, that just pushed this place over the top. The cafe serves awesome food....really...its pretty good. Most items on the menu have one of their many beers as an ingredient, just adding to the flavors. They are open year round, with limited hours during the winter...usually 12pm-5pm. During the summer they have concerts in the field behind the brewery...right next to their locally grown hops, and allow overnight camping. Lastly, no I'm not an employee writing a great review, just a retired Army guy who loves good beer and great food.
