About
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.

Bottle bought at Kamun Lab Pub, Genoa. 2014 version, 5.3%. Pours a cloudy maroon brown with an initially large but soon dissipating white head. Aroma is very light, fruity, cherry. Medium sweetness, very light sour. Thin body. Inoffensive, but quite bland.
