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!

Can. Pours a dark yellow to amber with small head. Aroma is fruity and hoppy, lots of resin, old school DIPA. Medium body. Flavour is malty, sweetish, medium to high bitterness, loads of pine, light resin, lots of grapefruit and citrus, some mango. Old school west coast DIPA, don't find this that often anymore but very enjoyable if you like the bitterness.

375ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Oct 22. Hazed gold with small white head. Fermented with sourdough yeast supposedly. Nicely developed wild organisms, with mild menthol creeping in, gentle acidity, tart moments. Nice.

24th October 2022, mini gathering at Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury; just three of us sharing beers and talking bollox. 37.5cl bottle from Mark, cheers mate. Hazy golden pour, wispy head. It's a proper tart sour puss; not really my thing though.
