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.

6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Draught. Weak hay aroma. Very cloudy red/brown colour, small head. Solid, creamy mouthfeel. OK flavour, yeasty and malty. Nicely balanced with pepper notes and aroma hoppiness. Unfortunately finishes with a rubbery feeling.

Deep dark brown beer with an orange shine; no head left. Wood, old pipe tobacco, tobacco ash, bitter chocolate aroma’s. Wood again in the taste; peppery, some chocolate and again (pipe-)tobacco. Medium bodied at best. Some alcohol present, but subdued. Very interesting, and not uncomplex beer. I quite like this, reminds me of the Dutch "Taboe", unfortunately gone.

(Bottle 75 cl) Clear, orangey brown with a creamy, beige head. Lightly spicy, sweetish caramel nose. Quite full-bodied with sweetish malty and lightly medicinal, herbal accents with a distinct, underlying sweetness. Ends fairly dry though. 281006
