Description
Il birrificio nasce nel 2013, dall’idea di due compagni di scuola, Andrea e Costantino, uniti da due grandi passioni, quella per la birra artigianale di stampo inglese e quella per il loro territorio.

Nel 2016, il birrificio si sposta a Piedimonte, in un nuovo stabilimento, con un nuovo e più grande impianto di produzione in costante implementazione, e con una tap room dedicata alla degustazione, anche alla spina, in un contesto di un accogliente pub inglese.

Da allora la produzione si è ulteriormente ampliata e diversificata, traendo ispirazione da diverse tradizioni brassicole, anglosassoni e mitteleuropee, fino all’attuale proposta di circa 20 stili diversi.

Antica Contea è quindi la destinazione ideale per chi predilige la birra artigianale e vuole degustare le sue migliori espressioni locali in una variante decisamente curiosa.

Murky golden, small off-white head. Aroma is cardboard, citrus, lemony, acidic, fruity with some malts in the back. Sour fruit and citrus, dry and juicy, although just slightly hoppy. Light body, soft carbonation, soft texture, a bit flat. The feeling is between a NEIPA and a juicy fruit beer.

On tap at Lajbah, Ljubljana. Pours hazy and pale golden colour, topped with a medium big white head, ok retention. Nice fruity nose, sweet tropical fruits with just a hint of soury character. Puckery sourness in teh taste, but not too escessive. A bit of bitterness and mellow salty finish. Lighter body with fresh feeling. Very nice.
