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 75 cl) Courtesy of Thomas_E. Pours a very unclear, pale golden - almost milky white - with a small, white head. Tart, citrusy nose. Fairly light in body with a vague tartness, spicy Saison-like notes. Slightly astringent finish. 280907

Gushing to huge fine, off-white head, hazy orange beer with reddish shine. Pure dry Amarillo hops, grapey, and nothing else. Very bitter, pure hoppy taste, nettles or garden weeds, again very grapey, and little else. Light bodied, sticky from the hopoils. An enormous load of A. hops for...? Try thinking "over-the-top"!

Bottled. A hazy dark amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet yet with an acidic edge and notes of caramel, fruit, spices and vegetables. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, brown sugar, spices, fruit, and some berries, leading to a dry end - the alcohol dries out the tongue.

7.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Huge, thick voluptuous if not permanent creamy (colour&consistency) foam over hazy orange beer. Very sharp initial vegetable/insectoid smell, going over in a more usual malt aroma, as from very fresh malt at the brewery. Sweet-bitterish taste, lots of unfermented sugars; very malty; sugary and vaguely nutty; some garden herbs or other vegetal notes. Without having a real longlasting taste, the palate keeps a sweet flavour that is indeed, not unreminiscent of purée de marrons. Very well bodied for such a low ABV beer. Remarkable brew, with an outspoken maltiness. With the exception of Pietra - and even then - most chestnut beers I know have this outspoken sweet taste - do they contain sugars that no Saccharomyces can handle? Where are the Bretts? Mille grazie ai Bertinotti!

Black color; thin creamy head. A Stout with a nice aroma, creamy, roasted; but the flavor is less impressive, ordinary, even with a very light infection or fermentation problem. Not bad, but could be better.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of Thomas_E. Hazy, reddish brown with a beige head. Aroma of roasted malt. Qite full-bodied with sweetish, roasted malt, accents of raisins and a distinct touch of butter. Some bitterness and some acidity. This ought to be fresh but it for sure ain’t. Pity. 230407
