NEW ON TAP: @BreweryOmmegang BPA
zak@theolympictavern.com
Friday January 6, 2012
Ommegang BPA is our interpretation of a true Belgian-style Pale Ale. Taking inspiration
from both sides of the Atlantic, we feel we've brewed up something completely unique.
BPA is brewed with 5 specialty malts and generously- though not excessively -hopped
with three hops: Columbus for bittering, three additions of Celeia for aroma, then
dry-hopped with Cascade. BPA is primary fermented and bottle-conditioned using our
signature house yeast.
Copper-golden in color with entrancing effervescence, BPA forms a substantial, fluffy
white head, giving off aromas of tropical fruit and citrus. Noticeable herbal notes and
bitterness from the hops never overpower the balanced malt backbone and allow the
estery qualities of our yeast to shine through.
We feel the result is quite remarkable. Giving a nod to the fine Pale Ales brewed in
America today, though never forgetting its classic Belgian roots, BPA is exceedingly
refreshing and well-balanced. At a modest 6.2% ABV this beer is perfect as the weather
warms and the days lengthen, BBQ's become more abundant, and friends look to gather
outdoors more. BPA lends itself to a wide array of food pairings; seamlessly with lighter
fare such as salads and seafood, locally made cheeses and meats with spicy pickles,
and never forget about your burgers and grilled sausages!
Enjoy, and let us know what you think!
