yes yes yes! I drank two last night with a Perdomo Parejo. I love this stuff, and it's cheap too!

Excellent description of the beer Patrick! I guess your stogie trained palette is well equipped to operate in other realms!

I got into beers before cigars, and know the Ommegang beers well. Belgian and Belgian-style beers are very flavorful and present many food-beer (and stogie-beer!) possibilities.

Another option is the New Belgium Brewery out of Colorado. They make several Belgian style ales, sold in six packs, that are very good and priced about equal with other micro brews.

A favorite standby of mine (being from the Bay Area) is Anchor Steam. It is malty, nutty, and metallic, and goes great with a Padron londres natural!

Sounds good but never heard of it. Is it only sold in certain regions? Can it be purchased online?

If you go to the Ommegang Web site, you can find out if they have a distributor in your state.
