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.

On tap @Open Baladin Roma. Ambrata, viva, leggermente torbida, schiuma bianca media. Al naso note di frutta secca sotto spirito, etilico, marzapane, caramello. In bocca è dolce, calda, avvolgente, ancora frutta secca, finale amarognolo a bilanciare, alcol. Corpo pieno, carbonazione media. Ottima.

3rd LCRBM. Aroma has apple juice. Malty flavor, again with the omnipresent applejuice. The alcohol is hidden by the apple sweetness. Not too wel balanced and disappointing.
