(Cooperstown, NY) – On deck for Brewery Ommegang in its Specialty Beer Release series is Cup o Kyndnes.

With the Ommegang Zuur release now in full swing, the brewery has received label approval on its next specialty beer coming in early September. Ommegang Marketing Director, Larry Bennett, confirmed that the brew is right on schedule and will ship to wholesalers in late August.

This beer is described as a “Belgo-Scotch mashup” and the label description reads, “The Belgian-Scotch brewing connection dates to World War I, when thousands of Scotsmen spent years in Belgium. To satisfy their new customers, Belgian brewers learned to brew Scotch-style ales, and the style became a new and significant part of the Belgian brewing tradition. This fine Ommegang ale uses heather tips and a wee bit of smoked malt to bring the taste and aroma of Scotland to the forefront.” 6.2% ABV. Available in 750s.

A quote featured on the bottle comes from an old Scottish poem: “An wil tak a cup o kyndnes yet, fir ald land syn.” – Robert Burns
