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.

On tap at Lajbah, Ljubljana. Pours almost clear golden colour, topped with a medium sized and creamy offwhite head, ok retention. Quite vinous nose, some vinegar - nice actually. Quiet woody taste with some vanilla, some sourness, but gentle. Alcoholic spicy finish. Weird one, but interesting. LAsting spicy aftertaste. Medium body.

On tap at Makro Beer Fest, Ljubljana. Shared with Višnja 666. Murky dark golden, small off-white head. Cardboard, malts, grainy and dried fruits, light hops. Thankfully, quite hoppy and dry. Spices and herbs. Lasting dry finish. Light body, moderate carbonation. Didn't start off well, but finishes really nice. No caramel.
