Brewery Ommegang’s Brut IPA: A Different Breed of Bubbly

We brought you a peek, and now this from Brewery Ommegang:

COOPERSTOWN, NY  With the holiday season approaching, Brewery Ommegang today announced the launch of a remarkable new beer that perfectly marries the fragrant, hoppy flavors of American IPAs with the sparkling effervescence of fine Belgian ales: Ommegang Brut IPA. Brewed with a unique process and bottle conditioned, this bubbly brew – with just 140 calories and fewer than four grams of carbohydrates – will liven up celebrations of the New Year, and beyond.

“With Brut IPA, we’ve created a distinctively Ommegang expression of this hop-driven style, using high attenuation and bottle conditioning to achieve a bright, dry, champagne-like character,” remarked Ommegang Brewmaster Phil Leinhart. “I’m excited to introduce it in time for the holidays, and look forward to enjoying it year-round.”

Ommegang Brut IPA is brewed with pilsner malt and flaked corn and hopped and dry-hopped with Mandarina Bavaria, Calypso, and Citra varietals, followed by a two-week bottle conditioning process to achieve exceptional levels of carbonation. It pours a light straw color with crystalline clarity. Aromas of dank, resinous pine, grapefruit, and pineapple precede a lively effervescence and a crisp, dry finish.

Shimmering CO₂ means Ommegang Brut IPA will only be available in four-packs of 12-ounce bottles. With 6.3% ABV and 49 IBUs, it offers a welcome addition to every table, pairing best with sharp cheeses, hearty meats, and spiced desserts.
