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.

Riserva 2015: 0,75 flaske delt på (alltid like) hyggelig RBHD-treff hos Odd Gunnar mars-18: lett uklar kobbergylden med fint skum som varer. Sursyrlig aroma og smak med sure krisebær, rognebær, rips og nyper. Pussig nok får jeg en fornemmelse av dessertsjokolader i avlsutningen, og ettersom vitamininnhldet er forbilledlig tilbaketrukket tror jeg kan denne ha trusefjernerpotensiale. Ingen Belgian strong ale, dette er heller en flamsk bruin.

Shared bottle at RB/HD at Gunnar´s 08.03.19. Cloudy copper amber. Beige head and lacing. Aroma and taste of oude bruin and sour malt. Also a hint of sour cherries. Quite good. Alcohol is not evident. A proper babetricker.

Shared 750 ml bottle, vintage 2015, from Vinmonopolet; Nettbutikken. ABV 9.0%. Hazy reddish brown colour, off-white head. Aroma of brettanomyces, lemons, red wine vinegar and spices. Sour and spicy flavour with the same elements, good beer.

On keg at The Italian Job, Mercato Metropolitano, London. A dark brown coloured pour with a thin beige head on top. Yeasty, caramel, slightly sour aroma. Tastes similar, yeasty, caramel, slight sourness, some dark fruit. Not one I'd try again in a hurry but it is OK.

Beersel Morning from Birrificio del Ducato

8.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
330ml bottle @ February Beer Tasting, Chez Sophie. Pours misty gold, large white head. Aroma has beautiful fruity saison nuances. Taste presents a fine spritz, lovely delicate fruity saison notes that link effortlessly with the beersel lambic. Great depth of flavours with a soft acidity. Hugely enjoyable.

6.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 7
Bottle: Poured a hazy dirty golden color ale with a small foamy head with limited retention and no lacing. Aroma of sour and vinegary lambic with some funky barnyard notes also perceptible is interesting. Taste is mix of highly funky notes with some barnyard, Brett and leather with some over the top acidic and sour notes with some oak notes also perceptible. Body is full with light carbonation. Enjoyable but too acidic for my taste which ends up limiting the drinkability.
