My Month of Flagships: BreweryOmmegang Three Philosophers -- Half Belgian quad, half kriek, 100% delicious. craftbeer beertwitter FlagshipFebruary
To some breweries, the term “flagship” is as simple as denoting the company’s biggest mover or most profitable product. To others, though, it’s a bit more ephemeral idea. Perhaps it’s the beer they’re best known for making in the beer geek circles, regardless of whether it’s actually the one they sell the most. Perhaps it’s simply the beer they’re most, or the one that best reflects the brewmaster’s ethos as an artist.
Three Philosophers illustrates that philosophy perfectly, being a blended beer that takes two beloved, historical beer styles—Belgian quad and kriek—and combines them to form something that is more than the sum of its parts. The result is a heady, fruity, boozy, complex enigma, which at 9.7% ABV is far and away the strongest beer to be represented in this Flagship February series. It’s also the only one to be packaged in a large format bottle.
It’s been quite a while since I’ve re-tasted this particular beer, so I’m looking forward to seeing how Three Philosophers is drinking in 2020.First, here’s how Ommegang describes the beer it’s chosen to be its standard-bearer: “Gentle” sweetness and “touch” of cherry are well-chosen words in that description, because Three Philosophers harkens back to a time when simply seeing a word like “cherry” on a beer label didn’t necessarily imply an ale that was as much pureed fruit as it was, you know … beer. This is a big, flavorful ale, but it’s one that trades in both subtlety and complexity as its defining qualities.
