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.

16 September 2020. At Draft & Dreams, Bologna. Shared with the lovely Anke! Clear golden, huge, frothy, white head; lots of lacing. Aroma of apple peel, pear, citrus, breadcrust, white pepper, clove, unripe banana. Taste has sweetish apple & banana, spicy core of pepper & clove over bready maltiness. Peppery hoppy finish, quite spicy & yeasty, low wheaty sourness & subtle fruit. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Surprisingly decent & quenching.

16 September 2020. At Draft & Dreams, Bologna. Shared with the lovely Anke! Clear golden, stable, frothy, white head. Aroma of ripe apricot, banana, yellow apple, canned peach, honey, fruit jenever. Taste has sweet honey & bready malts mixing with banana & apple, a bit pear-like phenolic with spicy-yeasty accents. Dryish, grassy hoppy finish, more spices & ripe fruit, good amount of warming jenever-like alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Good Belgian-style Tripel, sweet & spicy as expected but nowhere exaggerated.

A reddish copper ale with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with dark fruits, grapeskins, tart mix of ground cherry, light lactic and Epsom salts. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with dark fruits, ground cherries, light alcohol, very nice.
