Come thirsty and bring your friends

No doubt, it has been hot. Very, very hot. But it was just a few months ago we were all anticipating the warmer weather in lieu of the frigid conditions that seemed to go on and on.

But the heavy heat by no means should keep people indoors.

On Tuesday, Aug. 14, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., the Dilly Deli is inviting everyone to venture out of their air conditioned homes and enjoy some fine, cold brews. The occasion will be the Ommegang/Moortgat Beer Event. Duvel Moortgat is the parent company of a bevy of fine breweries - Duvel, Maredsous, Rodenbach, and LaChouffe in Belgium, as well as the Belgian-inspired Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, NY. Joining the Dilly Deli for this event will be John Mediate, National Sales Manager for Duvel Moortgat USA.

The planned draft line-up is: Ommegeddon Funkhouse Ale, Ommegang Three Philosophers, Ommegang Hennepin, Rodenbach, Maredsous 8 and McChouffe.

"To my knowledge, this could be the most comprehensive tasting of our draught lineup ever,“ Mediate said.

This event is pay as you go event.

“If the weather is good we'll split the crowd between the bar and the outside patio,“ owners of the Dilly Deli said.

The party will go until 9 p.m., or until the beer runs out. And if the weather keeps up with this intense heat, it will probably be the latter.
