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.

Bottled 750ml. -from Eataly Torino. Murky orange/golden coloured, medium sized creamy off-white head, yeasty and mild spicy nose. Moderate malty, yeasty, light sugary and spicy with notes of herbs (sage mostly). Not bad but for more than 11€ expected better one. 6.8%ABV

Pours clear gold into a snifter. White frothy head hug rim. Funky earth and sourdough aromas. Thin with dry lemon zest and funk upfront turning to sour summer fruits in the medium length finish.

Huge thanks to Ogi for this! Poured some amber-ochre-orange body. Nicely creamy sweet peachy aroma. Creamy, just slightly meaty yeastiness, light peachy notes, some herbal notes that might as well be that species of sage, very lgiht alcohol. Just ok... but for the price... ugh.
