Description
In 2005, Leonardo Di Vicenzo opened Birra del Borgo’s first brewery, Collerosso, in Borgorose, a small village located in the Valle del Salto, in province of Rieti, on the border between Lazio and Abruzzo. 2009 marked a watershed for Birra del Borgo with the opening of our new brewery. Moving out of our one-room space at Collerosso and into a modernized facility, our new brewery became the heartbeat of the company and cleared a way to fulfilling our brewing ambitions.
In 2015 Collerosso brewery begins new life. We rethought it entirely to pursue a new journey of research and discovery: Spontaneous Fermentation. Allowing wild yeast in the air to ferment the beer directly in the Coolship, marked an important milestone in our journey. Indeed, Collerosso and these beers represent our feeling to always change, to always strive to discover more. We are always restless and eager to see things from a different, unique, new perspective.
In 2016 Birra del Borgo was bought for 100% by AB InBev.

Backlog October 2020. Clear amber body under a nice, lacing beige head. Relativity malt driven aroma with dry fruit, marmalade and a bit spicy. Taste goes in the same direction of aroma. Medium body and average aftertaste. Decent but not outstanding.

Bottle at share. Light golden pour, cloudy, airy head. Tart, fruity aroma with light savory notes. taste gets earthy and natural, herbaceous, sweet, lemons, grass. All over the place, but it's an old historic recipe, so it offer a glimpse into the past.
