I was reading this month's Real Beer News and remembered SOMEONE around here drinks Ommegang...

Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, N.Y., can't make enough beer, so has
turned to its "parent" - Duvel Moortgat in Belgium - for help. Moortgat
recently began brewing Ommegang's flagship Ommegang Ale for sale in 750ml
bottles in the United States, and will continue to do so until Ommegang's capacity
catches up with demand. The first shipments have reached Ommegang's
East Coast warehouse and bottles should be on the West Coast by Sept. 22.
Brewery Ommegang will continue to make Ommegang Ale to be sold in 12-ounce
bottles and occasionally in kegs as well as the range of beers it has added
since first brewing Ommegang Ale in 1997. Athough Ommegang expanded capacity
40% in 2005, rising demands means that production of the 750s of Ommegang Ale
in Belgium may continue through 2006.
