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!

375ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Dec 22. Thanks Mark for this. Dark red appearance, small white head. Smooth palate, fruity with good cherry definition although lacks a bright acidic sourness.. carob brings interesting chocolate notes, though thankfully quite mild. Different.
