This is Tropicoop and it will be a honey-conditioned Belgian-style blonde ale brewed with spices. This beer will be a Gulf Stream Brewing (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) collaboration and it will roll in at 7.7%-AbV. This is the 16oz can and stay tuned for 2025 release details (there’s a typo in the label text so I suspect we’ll see another version of this packaging coming soon). zzubreebym
Label Text:
“Brewed with the finest ingredients and inspired by the art of Belgian brewing, Tropicoop is a vibrant collaboration between Brewery Ommegang and Gulf Stream Brewing Co. This Belgian-style blonde ale is honey-conditioned for a smooth, slightly sweet profile, while iconic Chouffe yeast adds layers of fruity esters and subtle spice. Bright citrus notes from Nectaron and Citra hops are perfectly complemented by Ommegang’s house spices. Coop has landed, ready to bask in the sunny paradise of South Florida.”

About Brewery Ommegang:
A Tradition Born in 1549
Holy Roman Emperor King Charles V visited medieval Brussels in 1549 with hundreds from his Royal Court. To welcome the King, merchants, vendors, cooks, brewers, musicians, theater troupes, dancers and more lined up around the city walls and joined in a celebration as his entourage passed by. That parade became known as the “Ommegang,” a word that variously means “coming together” and “walking about.” The Brussels Ommegang Festival continues to this day.
The First Farmhouse Brewery in America in 100+ Years
Belgian breweries Duvel Moortgat, Affligem, and Scaldis join with importers/entrepreneurs Don Feinberg and Wendy Littlefield to build an authentic Belgian-style farmstead brewery in Cooperstown, NY. They locate this cultural transplant on an old 140-acre hop farm in the Susquehanna River valley, in a part of upstate New York once known as Nova Belgium.
Our First Beers
We open in winter with Ommegang Abbey Dubbel, an 8.5% ABV traditional Trappist-style dark ale. Brewed with a complex array of spices and packaged in 750ml bottles, Abbey breaks the mold of the emerging American craft beer scene.
Our Portfolio (and Reputation) Grow
We expand our offerings with Hennepin Farmhouse Saison, Rare Vos Amber, and 12oz bottles. High-end culinary magazines and restaurants across the US take notice.
Ponder the Profound
Responding to a fan’s fantasy of “the perfect beer,” we introduce Three Philosophers, a Belgian-style quadrupel ale. A touch of Belgian kriek – a cherry beer – makes it distinctive, and offers a delicate note of dark fruit.
