looks like Pennsic for beer. Now I have some place to consider using my long neglected camping gear.

Check out this video from the 2011 event for another glimpse into the festival - I know I said this in the post - but if you can get there next year, do it. It's well worth the trip. Cheers!

Hello. I read about this festival for the first time in my Belgian newspaper (De Morgen). I was attracted by the Flemish word ‘Ommegang’. Had no idea that there was a beer festival in open air with camping, ‘close’ to NYC … I see now these pictures (first one is very attractive) and it gives a slight idea of what it can be… Hope more descriptions will follow. I think I have to discover it when I come to visit NYC once. Have to fnd some friend who wants to combine NY and some beer. Drinking alone is sometimes very sad, isn’t it. A pitty for me it’s not happening during Autumn – my favorite season, but maybe that’s too cold for camping. (Summer in NYC seems to be very hot, we are used to a mild – often wet – climat).
Pros (Belgium).
PS: the beers I am drinking these days are Omer (with a very beautiful logo) and Hopus. Cheers!

I went with highest of expectations and was greatly short of what was achieved. Kudos and accolades to the good folks at Ommegang for the finest weekend of the summer.
