About Brewery Ommegang:
Founded in 1997 on a picturesque 136-acre farmstead in Cooperstown, New York, Brewery Ommegang has spent nearly three decades pioneering the American craft beer movement by introducing traditional, Belgian-inspired brewing excellence to the United States. Built to mirror the classic brick farmhouses of historic Belgian breweries, Ommegang set out with a singular vision: to craft exceptional, European-style ales characterized by complex yeast strains, open-air fermentations, and meticulous attention to detail. The brewery quickly achieved international acclaim with legendary flagships like Hennepin Farmhouse Saison, Rare Vos Amber Ale, and Three Philosophers Quadrupel, establishing a gold standard for Belgian-style brewing on American soil.
Over the years, Brewery Ommegang expanded its culinary repertoire far beyond classic Belgian profiles, embracing innovative barrel-aging programs, fruited sours, and massive, decadent imperial stouts like Midnight Realm. The brewery’s deep immersion into fantasy-themed storytelling famously materialized through its celebrated multi-year partnership creating official beers for HBO’s Game of Thrones, blending pop culture phenomena with world-class liquid artistry. Beyond its commercial success, Ommegang remains deeply rooted in the agricultural heritage of upstate New York, frequently incorporating locally sourced ingredients, estate-grown hops, and regional malted grains to highlight the unique terroir of the Cooperstown region.
Today, Brewery Ommegang continues to captivate adventurous craft beer lovers through creative packaging formats, collaborative series, and immersive taproom experiences at its idyllic farmstead brewery. Whether you are exploring complex spice and fruit additions, hunting down rare collector cans, or simply enjoying a classic Belgian ale in the shadow of the hop fields, Ommegang stands as an enduring pillar of craft beer innovation, quality, and imagination.
