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.

Bianca from Birrificio Montegioco
2 years ago
6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
0.75l bottle, Montegioco Bianca, 5%, courtesy of Ogi, shared with Hrabren as well. Murky ochre body, white head going away fast. Yeasty aroma, cookie-vanilla, coriander, herbal. Lean, dry taste, wheaty, cleanly yeasty, some citric touches, that's basicaly it. Bit empty, soft, flat, but drinkable. Decent really.

3.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 3 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 3.5
Rating No. 15800 Bottled 330ml. -at Taverna Mastri d'Arme Trieste, shared with hrabren. Unclear golden coloured, medium sized off-white head, popcorn and chlorophenols in the nose. Clorophenols, glue, light nutty and dusty floral with subdued touch of saffron. Not worth 1.5€ and not to talk about 15€ we paid for it.

3.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 3 Flavor 3 Texture 6 Overall 2.5
0.33 l bottle shared with Ogi at Taverna Mastri d'Arme, Trieste. Unclear dark golden, small head. Intense medicinal aroma, overwhelming. What is left is a hint of floral and malty notes. Light body, dry, floral, grainy, unripe nuts, quite tart, medicinal. Lousy finish. What a disappointment. This small bottle costs 15€. It's worth spilling in the sink. A showoff.

On tap at Arrogant Sour Festival 2022. Hazy orange with small white head. Smoke, some fruity notes, peat, medium sourness. Not at all difficult to drink which was my expectation.

7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
A very sweet, mild and only very slightly acidic IGA. It goes more towards a sweet blonde, something italo-belgian, than a traditional IGA. It's very drinkable though, lovely sweet white grapes and light oak notes. Interesting.

DC Share. 11.2oz bottle. Poured a little murky red color with a very wispy, light tan head. Aroma was chewy malts, light meaty notes. Pleasant tart raspberries with some oaky wood. Interesting to be sure.
