After some careful discussion and a call to Bill Shannon, we decided to do nothing I spoke about in my blog earlier today. Instead we decided to travel to Cooperstown to the Ommegang Brewery. We arrived at about 3:45, and soon after, Bill Shannon arrived. We missed the last tour but we were able to join the beer tasting. We enjoyed samples of Witte, Rare Vos, Hennepin, Ommegang and Three Philosophers. Then some other beer that I wasn't really paying attention to because I was busy dipping pretzels into a wonderful Ommegang Horseradish Mustard, which I purchased for $5.50. I also bought a gift set which included 3 lovely Ommegang glasses, and a Rare Vos, Witte and Hennepin. I would recommend this tour, although I didn't even take it. Well, after our adventure at Ommegang we worked up an appetite. We drove a little bit down the road to a wonderful resturant called Brook's BBQ, where I ordered a half chicken. Unfortunately, I think I am slightly sick. I did manage to choke down salad, coleslaw, macaroni salad, chicken, fries, bread and chocolate cream pie but my stomach was feeling the burn. I ruined a chance to go to hip Oneonta bars, and drove back an hour feeling like I was going to die. When I got home I violently vomited. It was hard, but afterwards I ate some pink rabbit peeps and drank some soda and now I think I may be able to start drinking. Despite the sickness, today was a good day.
