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.

33 cl bottle i kept in the fridge several months. Pours golden with lots of particles in suspension and an expanding white head. Flavor is complex, burning with spices and liquor at first, then intense spice notes cames up, mostly almonds and dried fruits, candy sugar, orange peel, coriander, pepper, juniper, geranium, fruity tones and solid malts. Fresh herbal hops and belgian yeast. Taste sugary but fairly balanced. Body is relatively thick, taste is spicy, finish is intense, long, spiced and floral. Fantastic tripel, very surprised by this.
