Ommegang in New York

It's a little difficult to post a picture on the blog at the moment, but today Joe, Denis and myself visited the Ommegang brewery near Coopersville in New York. This was started by an American brewer who became a fan of Belgian beers and started to brew similar ones here.

I had mussels, frites and an Ommegang ale similar to De Konick. A perfect combination.

Then we visited the shrine to the North American martyrs and St Kateri Tekekawitha at Auriesville in New York. We met one of the Jesuit priests there, who kindly showed us over the shrine and we swapped some Jesuit war stories.

    Did they have any Marckloff beer there? The Marckloff brewery is in Durbuy, Belgium. I would like to know something about the founder, Philippe Marckloff, and where his family are originally from. From my limited observations, most Marckloffs seem to be from Germany. Chris
