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!

25/07/2013 Ma che siete venuti a fà (tap). Dorata pallida, acida, torbida, con riflessi verdognoli, schiuma bianca leggera. Al naso è molto fresca, bella luppolata, con note erbacee predominanti e base kolsch ben riconoscibile. In bocca è molto gustosa, luppolata, fresca, a lungo andare emerge un po’ di astringenza e una leggera nota di sedano. Corpo leggerino, carbonazione media. Nel complesso molto soddisfacente e superiore alle aspettative. Andrebbe solo rifinita un po’.
