Description
Our beers are made of passion and knowledge, culture and innovation, memories and visions of endless worlds real and futuristic.
Giovanni Campari founded Birrificio del Ducato together with two other partners. Giovanni is still the brewmaster of the brewery, which officially began the production of craft beer on March 27th 2007 in Roncole Verdi, Busseto (PR). The historic production site was transformed into Sour Brewery in 2015, when we transferred the main brewery to the new headquarters in Soragna (PR). Here we produce the main beer lines, through a fully automated system, which includes advanced PLC controls and centrifugal separator. The brewery currently has a 60-hl 5-vessel brewhouse and a total cellar capacity of 1200 hl.
At the end of 2016 Duvel Moortgat acquired 35% of the shares of the brewery. In 2018 Duvel Moortgat acquired 70% of the brewery’s shares, investing its resources in a new laboratory and in a new bottling line.

2014 vintage. 750mL bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out a huge amount of barnyard funk, citrus, and leather. Flavour is sharp and acidic, with lots of leather, high acidity, medium barnyard funk, and some rustic notes. Quite sharp and acidic, but the funk still shines through nicely. Very good, but shy of upper tier.

Bottle. Clear pale yellow (almost urine-like) with a small and short-lived white head. Mild aroma of citrus fruits. Taste of lemons, oranges and wheat with some hints of coriander and spices. Low to moderate bitterness. Strong carbonation. Overall pretty weak but at least the bottle looked nice.

Bottle at Beer Witch: pours clearish yellow with almost no head. Aroma is lemon and hints of tea. Taste is very sour and lemony. Way too acidic.

Lekka brzoskwinia, tropiki, ziołowe, lekka siarka. Barwa złota, opalizujące, piany i lacingu brak. Goryczka zaznaczona, dość tępa, łodygowa. Mało tu west coasta. Nie jest złe ale brakuje mu czegoś.
