Woody and Chris made the trek up to Ommegang Brewery for their beerfest a few weeks back. Here's a quick summary of their trip. 

Even after last year’s antics, they invited us back for another BCTC.  We touched down in Syracuse, NY to perfect beer drinking weather.  We were greeted at the airport by our good friend and Duvel Moortgat employee Dave Gonzalez.

We headed straight to the Ommegang Brewery for dinner.  Upon arriving, we were each handed a 750ml bottle of Ommegang Zuur, which is one of our favorite brews.  The dinner went on to showcase all of Duvel Moortgat’s offerings from Chouffe, Maredsous, Duvel, and Ommegang.

About 400 of us attended the dinner, and we were all entertained with some great bluegrass throughout the evening.  Ommegang brewery sits on what was once a hop farm in beautiful Cooperstown, NY, so it was exceptionally scenic.  As dinner ended, we moved the party across the field to the fire pit and enjoyed the cool weather with more great beer.

More after the jump. 

Update: Show opened Friday September 3rd and will be up all month. 

"I do not create art to make a million dollars and it is much more than just a love for it. It’s an addiction. I simply can not stop creating art. I’m a fiend for it, and it is unsettling until I get my fix. There is something about when I take an unworked area and work it until I create an image that I understand, see, and with which I am never completely satisfied, but which I accept as finished."

"My work begins with a single line and ends with the layering of images and mixed media. Through this fluid line movement and layering process, the work becomes my own."

"Growing up in a black and white world, we, the “apparitions of the night”, use different colors, media, typography, and images to give the world a breath of fresh air from its mundane daily routine. My inspiration is drawn from this concept."
