About
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.

(Draught at Italian Job, Chiswick, London, 24 Nov 2018) Pale golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty nose with notes of bread, peaches, soft fruit and sweet malt. Malty, slightly fruity taste with bread, peaches, soft malt, sweet mixed fruit and a fairly low bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Mild, but refreshing and fairly tasty. Quite enjoyable.

[On tap at Mercato, Elephant & Castle.] A cleat amber pour; floral aroma; pleasantly herbal taste, with a slowly building peppery warmth. Rather good.

Bottle: Poured a clear amber color ale with a large foamy head with OK retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of tart notes with light oak presence with some dry grapes notes is quite enjoyable. Taste is a mix of tart notes with some light oak presence and wonderful grapes presence who offset some of the acidity. Body is pretty full for style with good carbonation. Enjoyable sour with more balanced acidity then some of the other offerings from this brewery.
