| Original Abbey |
Ommegang, brewed in Cooperstown,� NY, is owned by Belgium's Duvel-Moortgat.� Little wonder, then, that Ommegang's lineup of brews hew closely to classic Belgian lines, especially their first beer, the 8.5 percent ABV Ommegang Abbey.
This sweet and spicy double style, all a-swirl with notes of licorice, caramel and dark stone fruits,� is generally paired with meaty dishes like carbonnade Flamande, roasts or rich cheeses.� On Tuesday, Dec. 8, Cantina dos Segundos (931 N. Second St.) will take on a Belgo-Mexi mashup,� cooking pork belly tacos in the toffee-like dark ale for $1 each, to pair with $3 ten-ounce drafts of the same.� Duvel-Moortgat rep Megan Maguire will be on hand, offering free samples of Ommegang Abbey and generally making merry.�� Party starts at 6 p.m.
