OMG Brewery Ommegang!
On today's show we try a sizable portion of the entire lineup of beers from Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, NY. We also analyze the PR ploys of the craft beer industry after Peyton Manning's post-Super Bowl beer-endorsing comments. And in our Strange Brew segment we sample Paris of the West from Almanac Beer Company in San Francisco.

Another great episode guys. Had to laugh at the Manning call out, as i was thinking the exact same things when he said it. He was either paid by Bud or it was self serving in some form...i honestly thought we'd see a Papa-Johns/Budweiser partnership announcement following his comment. I was also thinking of beers to include in an "Ohio Craft Brew Box" to hopefully deliver to you all in the late spring. We're making our way out west for a vacation then and can't wait to try some NorCal and Oregon beer places while out there! Recommendations would be welcomed! Until then...I'll continue to dream of the beers that may be included in a "California Dreamin' Beer Box"...Thanks again for all the work!
