Brewery Ommegang’s annual Snommegang Invitational Beer Festival in downtown Oneonta Saturday certainly lived up to its name,, as flurries filled the air and blustery winds pushed the wind chill into the negative digits. But that didn’t keep attendees Kim, Ken and Nick Byrne, who traveled from Burlington, Conn., from sampling many selections of beer from around the country.
