Description
The brewery was set up at the end of 2004 in a beautiful farmhouse called “L’Olmaia” in Val D’Orcia, near Siena, Tuscany, initially as a small firm producing up to 300 litres per batch.
In 2009 it was relocated a few kilometers to the east in the area of Sant’Albino, near Montepulciano, where the products could be sold directly to the public. Throughout the year we produce 6 types of beer, plus some special seasonal beers, all of which are strictly unpasteurized, unfiltered and re-fermented, both in the keg and in the bottle. The production plant was built, according to our production needs, by the company Tefo of Parma, and it now has a production capacity of 2,500 litres per batch thanks to 4 cylindroconical fermentation tanks with a capacity of 2,500 litres and 2 with a capacity of 1,500 litres.
Inside the Brewery you can find the Tap Room with 6 beers on tap, cold cuts, cheeses and bottled beers.

On tap at Open Baladin. Cloudy orange with a firm andd lasting white head. Strong yeasty aroma with some grainy malt and herbs. Flavour of yeast, lime peel and herbs with a medium bitterness. Too much yeast in the glass really to pick out any nuances.

RBESG 2010, draught at Open Baladin
Dark brown color, almost flat. The aroma is strong, vinous, lightly sour. The mouthfeel is quite oily, with caramel flavor, red wine, light acidity, very light chocolate. The final is short, with some liquorice. Just an experiment, no thrills.
