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.

Bottle @ home. Dark brown body with almost no head, little carbonation as well. Strong coffee aroma with mocha and alcohol. Taste is like sour coffee, wood, quite much acidity and red berries. Medium body and same aftertaste to the bitter end. Pretty one-dimensional on coffee and acid, not a favorite by me.

Keg at Putia Al Ostello, Catania. A very sweet lager that started very badly but grew over time. Extremely quick drinking.

Bottle (from Systembolaget Rådhusesplanaden Umeå). Hazy ambery golden colour with a mediumsized off-white foamy head. Aroma is resin, some sweet fruits, mild herbs and a bit malty tones too. Flavour is sweet malts, some mild biscuity and bready malts with mild floral and grassy tones with mild wood too. Pleasant.

Boca 0,5L zanimljivog oblika - kupljeno u Italiji - prvi put da pijem lager s narančinom korom i sviđa mi se. Daje finu notu i svježinu i razbija dosadu lagera..

Tea leaves and a little citrus peel. Golden pour without head. Light bitter finish. A little odd, but not bad. Tap along Tiber.

Tangerine and a lot of lime. Seems like this keg may be past it's prime. Almost has a partly unfermented vibe. Hazy orange pour with decent head. Light tangy finish. Tap at Roma Beer Co.
