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 @ Una Volta, Culemborg. Milky light yellow with a white head. Noble hop aroma with some wheat notes. Taste is medium sweet with a gentle bitter hoppy finish. Simple but at the same time complex. Great beer.

Pours a semi-transparent red with pinkish hints that gets a bit hazy on second pour. The thinnest hint of head disappears very quickly. Aroma shows vinegar plus quite strong sour cherries and slight citric notes, with a background of wet wood. It's rather intense but not too deep. Taste is a mix of sweet and sour, both quite strong. Sourness is both lactic and acetic. Notes are of vinegar and sour cherries with light woody hints. Aftertaste is again a mix of sweetness and sourness. Taste is rather intense as the aroma, but again not too deep; feels like vinegar is a bit covering. Medium bodied with the slightest hint of carbonation; smooth mouthfeel. Not very impressed.
