Camping, food, music, fun during the Clinton Canoe Regatta, May 27-30.

Brewery Ommegang, four miles south of Cooperstown, NY in the
Susquehanna River Valley on Highway 33, is opening our 136 wooded
acres for camping, entertainment, and paddling support -- a.k.a. food,
beer, music -- during the Clinton Regatta. We've got lots of room,
great beer, a friendly attitude, and are always welcoming of visitors
and campers, including free brewery tours and tasting every day from
11am-7 pm.

Inexpensive and close to everything too: $15 a night or $45 for the
entire weekend (t, f, s, s). Camping for tent campers, car campers,
RV's, pop-ups, etc. Showers and toilet facilities. Groups accomodated
easily. (No electrical hookups or waste dumps, sorry). Pets are okay.
We're just a few miles downstream from the mouth of the Susquehanna,
and the river actually crosses the lower part of our property.

Saturday afternoon and evening we'll have Blues music featuring Mark
Tolstrup and The Hellhounds. We'll be pouring our delicious and
reasonably priced draft beer and bottle beer and serving a wide range
of vegetarian and carnivore foods of Belgian and American background.
Everything from chili, stews, brats, mussels and frites, Belgian
waffles. Or you can cook at your own campsite.

As the evening progresses we'll have bonfires, a portage race -- from
beer to beer--and a reasonable lights out so all can be well-rested for
the next days paddling. (We sponsor two boats in the races and we want
the paddlers to get their rest.)

Call 607-544-1802 (Larry) or 607-544-1805 (Jeremy) for more info; or
send questions to or to or


Visit www.ommegang.com for more info about the brewery, our
Belgian-style ales, and the events we sponsor each year.

One last thing: We do lots of weekend long events with food, music,
beer, entertainment, and other types of sports and public gatherings.
But this is our first regatta event, and if YOU have ideas about what
we can do to make it better for you and your fellow paddlers, please
call us, let us know, ask questions, make suggestions. We're here to
serve, and not just beer.

And me stuck in California! You make some of the best beer in the world,
and from what I see on your site your grounds are exceptionally beautiful.
This sounds wonderful, wish I could be there.

Sounds like a hoot! Although some I would bring along will enjoy that type
of paddling, I personally have an allergy.....to flat water....is there
anything local in the area say class III-IV? Thanks much!

The Clinton Regatta isn't really fla****er. It's a 70 mile race from the
source of the Susquehanna to the town of Bainbridge. I don't think there's
anything at a class III level but it's moving water nevertheless.

If you're looking for more challenging whitewater the Moose river is a
couple of hours away. It has everything from class I to some pretty tough
class V stuff. The class V section begins with Fowlersville falls, a 45'
slide at about a 60 degree angle.

And me stuck in California! You make some of the best beer in the
world, and from what I see on your site your grounds are exceptionally
beautiful. This sounds wonderful, wish I could be there.

The Cooperstown area is indeed a pretty neck of the woods. It's about 2
hours from where I live so it makes a great weekend getaway. There's a lot
to do there so even though I'm a huge Belgian style beer fan I didn't manage
to make it to the Ommegang brewery, however most of the grocery stores here
carry most of their offerings (the Hennepin is my favorite). There are also
a few caverns nearby that are big enough for tours and rumor has it that
Ommegang stores casks in the caves.

However, I wouldn't be complaining too much about being stuck in California,
at least in the context of access to good beer. The Northcoast Brewing Co.
in the town of Ft. Bragg (where I was born) produces some really good beers
a couple of which in the Belgian style (their Pranqster is one of my
favorite beers at the moment). The Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout is
one of the best stouts you'll find anywhere. Then there's the Lost Coast
Brewing Co. (up in Eureka), Mendocino Brewing Co. (Ukiah), and Stone Brewing
Co. down in San Diego, not to mention Anchor and Sierra Nevada.

Thanks John! Great that it's near the Moose, a river on my "hit list" this
year.
