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.

22 June 2021. At Uiltje Taproom, Haarlem. Shared with the lovely Anke! Clear red, thinning, pink head. Aroma of lots of raspberries, tart strawberry, jam, redcurrant, sour cream, vague vinegar. Taste has very sour raspberry, redcurrant, lemon peel, bit lactic, some coulis sweetness, soft vinegar too. Tart finish, lots of raspberry & berry peels, bit bready, vinous & acidic. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Very nice. Very tart but so clean to drink.

(Bottle) Hazy pale yellow colour with big, frothy, white head. Spicy, slightly fruity nose with notes of grapefruit, lemon, coriander, fresh mint and white bread. Fruity, spicy taste with white bread, grapefruit, lemon peel, coriander and a low bitterness. Light body, quite dry. Tasty and refreshing. Quite nice.
