Description
Il Birrificio Montegioco prende il nome dall’omonimo paese della Val Grue, a pochi chilometri da Tortona, antica terra di confine tra Piemonte, Liguria, Lombardia ed Emilia Romagna. L’avventura comincia nella primavera del 2005 quando un vecchio magazzino viene trasformato in un moderno microbirrificio.
Riccardo Franzosi è l’artefice di tutto questo, la passione per la birra lo ha spinto a iniziare come homebrewer per puro piacere personale ed ha successivamente scelto di trasformare questa passione in un vero e proprio lavoro.

Tap at Macche in Roma, 2014 keg. Pours purple light, off-white foam with reddish highlights. Nose: jam of red fruit, mild sour, sweet notes of red grape, wood. Very peculiar and intensive. Mouth: reminessence of the “Demon”, the aging perhaps enhanced the vinousity...a bit too much imo. Anyway, very tasty.

2015 vintage bottle shared at So Good in Rome. Hazy orangey pour, white foam. Nose: peach forward, yeast, softly jam. Mouth is great: carbonation is medium-high, it mirrors the nose. Jam of apricot and peach, esile body, rich in taste anyway. A triumph of fruit.

Bottle thanks to Sarah! Pours a hazy orange amber with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a decent amount of tart fruits and dry red wine with a hint of sweetness underlying. Flavor has an interesting combination of dark wine, tart fruits, sweet grains and a bit of an oak note.

On tap @Ma che siete venuti a fà (Rome). Ambrata carica, schiuma bianco-sporca medio-leggera. Al naso note vinose e di frutta rossa, leggero acetico. In bocca è acida media, un po' sgraziata, lunga e persistente. Corpo medio, carbonazione media. Insomma...
