(Cooperstown, NY) – Brewery Ommegang will release the second beer out of its Specialty Beer Program next month: Ommegang Tripel Perfection.
Here is the commercial description: “Tripel Perfection. An audacious claim based on three years work at happily perfecting our take on a tripel. 8.9% ABV, lush aromas, full body, elegant tastes – with a hint of spicing – and a perfect body paired with lively effervescence.
The tripel is among the most popular of Belgian ales. Brewed with simple ingredients and fierce attention, there is little room for error, but plenty of opportunity. Perfection isn’t easily achieved – but once achieved it is always memorable.”
There have been some misconceptions that Ommegang BPA, the brewery’s first release in this program, was limited to a specific geographical region though the beer was actually made available to the brewery’s entire distribution network (45 states). About 2,000 cases of BPA were produced and I would expect the numbers and distribution for Tripel Perfection to be similar.

Ommegang also just took home three medals at the World Beer Cup: a gold for Abbey Ale as well as a silver for Witte Wheat and Biere de Mars.
