About
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.

Bottle from Conad, Assisi. Clear golden, small, white head. Aroma of orange peel, yellow apple, pear, yeast, melon, honey. Taste has sweetish apple & pear, bittersweet orange peel, slight bready-yeasty profile. Dry, spicy, grassy hoppy finish, lingering orange & pear. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Decent enough, it does have an 'authentic' feel to it.

33cl bottle from hopt.it. Pours hazy gold, with fine white foam. Aroma is hoppy, a little tropical. Body is average, like carbonation. Taste is medium-high bitter, but also with some sweetness behind. Final is pretty rich, fruity and medium sweet.

Vintage 2012 champagne beer with big Black box. Bottle from www.dobrychmiel.pl in 2016. Now this place permanently closed. No coz poteznie ciezka butelka, wystrzelila z glosnym hukiem korek grzybek ktory tak sie nozka rozchylila ze niejeden grzybiarz zbierajac grzyby w Puszczy Kozienickiej pomylił by z dorodnym podgrzybkiem czy kozaczkiem/ mocno musujace, bardziej niz jakikolwiek szampan z Szampanim piana wnet blyskawicznie rosnie szybciej niz przedkosc swiatla. rozowo metnawa barwa, w aromacie maliny, kwasne maliny, borowka i czerwone porzeczki, Sangiovese to doskonala wloska odmiana winorosli takze tu jej jest sporo az 39%, w smaku kwaskowe, wytrawne niesamowicie mineralne, cos jak rozowe wino z dodana kwasna malina lub porzeczka. perfekcyjne szampanskie piwo. a wracajac do korka to tak strzelil ze myslalem ze to juz polnoc i fajerwerki za oknem juz zaczeto odpalac. Piwo otwarte tuz przed polnoca w Sylwestra. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL WHO LOVE BEER.

Goudgele kleur. Moutig, zoet, typische zoet-kruidige Saison/Belgisch blondje, iets wrang, groene druiven, krijg weinig van de beloofde vaten mee. Aangenaam maar weinig spannend bier.

Bottle from the Beer Hawk Advent Calendar. Pours clear golden with a thin white head. Aromas of wood, lemon, floral perfume. Something honeyed. Taste has some white grape, honey, light oak. Light sweet finish. Great nose, but doesn't quite deliver on flavour.

(Bottle, 5.7%) Golden yellow colour with big, lasting, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of pineapple, peaches, orange and flowers. Fruity, hoppy taste with orange, peaches, pineapple, white bread, flowers, hints of white-pepper and a mild floral, citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and refreshing. Nice one.
