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.

Draft. An unclear pink beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of dusty hops and berries. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, fruit, and berries, leading to a dry berry finish.

23rd April 2010. Bottle at the Rake (Cellar job courtesy of Rich - cheers mate!). Hazy light gold beer with a few floating bits! Light dry palate. Lagerish malt with an odd but not unpleasant cucumber and lychee taste. Finishes dry and crisp. Original rating 2.8.

On tap at Open Baladin.
Hazy gold beer, little white head. Softish semi dry palate. Fine carbonation. Creamy malt supports nice fresh orangey hops. Marmalade bitterness. Sweetish finish with stinging carbonation. Nice to taste some hops in Italy!
