Description
Il Birrificio prende il nome dalla sorgente del Lambro, il nostro amato e tanto bistrattato fiume, simbolo, nel bene e nel male, di questo territorio (una sorgente particolare, purissima, che un po’ mena… un po’ resta… viva, come la nostra birra!).
Il logo riproduce la sperada, tipica acconciatura femminile in uso in Brianza fino all’inizio del ‘900, ornamento che le spose indossavano il giorno del matrimonio e che univa trasversalmente la gente di ogni estrazione sociale. Come solo può fare la birra!

Draft @ ML Fontainas, Italian Fest Sept ’14. Dorée sur léger trouble, col fin blanc. Arôme est fruité, fleuri rappelant un peu les fleurs de sureau. Pointe de grains en rétro avec un fleuri-presque herbacé bien prenant et en retrait une subtile note épicée. Palais est fruité, fleuri légèrement épicé. Malt sur profil grains entre sec et terreux. Amertume reste subtile indiquant un houblonnage léger presque noble.
