I believe you on that. I don't mind it but I can tell it's kind of middling. It would be brilliant to try the good stuff. Whiskies are a fine art in Scotland/Ireland and I think they probably are there too. It just never makes its way back to us, sadly.
Often the same with beer. We get the big brand North American beer (Bud, Coors, Labatt, Molsen) and everyone avoids them but when we have a beer festival you guys bring your stuff over from micro breweries. Plenty of pretentious people over here want to try it so they can make fun of it. Yeah, then they taste it. Perhaps the most exceptional beer of my entire lifetime came from your shores.
I have but it's confusing me because I know Ommegang as Belgian. If the Belgians can do anything, it's beer. They're seriously good at it. There are about thirty types of beer and the Belgians are the only people I know who do them all. If it was American all along, I'm going to be a bit weirded out by it, but Jesus, all credit to you lot! Fantastic work! Ommegang are absolutely exceptional.
You can find a lot of great beer here. Mostly famously Samuel Adams (it is like a micro brew but big now haha). If you ever come across one, get it. Do you recall the name of the exceptional one?
