In 1996 the first 2 beers were on tap at Lambrate brewpub, there were 3 owners and the brewhouse capacity was 150 litres per batch and the pub was opened few days a week. Today there are 5 owners and a considerable staff, plenty of beers are produced and the brewhouse capacity is increasing from 2000 litres to 4000 litres per batch. Alessandra, Fabio, Paolo, Davide and Giampaolo: everyone has a specific role in the company as administrators, head chefs, publicans, headbrewers.
Making craft beer is a time consuming but exciting process, which requires knowledge, passion, care and creativity. Everything is based on a constant research and selection of quality raw materials, then the brewers decide which beer will be produced in terms of style, taste, colour, abv, etc. After the recipe is designed, the brewing process can start. Malt is milled and it’s mixed with water in a process called “mash”. Next step is “lautering” and then “boiling”. Afterwards wort is cooled and moved to fermentation tanks where yeast is added. After 4-6 weeks beer is ready to be kegged or bottled. Every single process is under brewers control, supported by our chemical analysis laboratory. Currently our brewery can produce more than 4000 litres per day.

chiara bella schiuma persistenter le note note luppolate ed maltate si accompagnano perfettamente lascando spazio alle note secche luppolate piacevole da bere
Bir and Fud. I am surprised to see this classified as a smoked. There is some smoke, but it is very light. More of a full bodied porter. Roasted malt. Light smoke in the aroma and in the flavor. Heavy palate and dry. No hop flavor, and that is fine.
A sample from Emanuele at the Futbol Pub, Rome. Golden color and well carbonated. Aroma has moderate hops. Flavor is a surprise, with dry malt flavors followed by strong, bitter hops. Great palate on this beer.
From tap at bir and fud. Pours dark brown to black with a small tan head. Hard roasted malt, chocolate and vague butterish. Roasted malty, liqourice and chocolate. Thin body though. Dry and acidic and with a touch of butter. Ends acidic bitter and dry.
From tap at bir and fud. Pours slight cloudy deep orange with a minimal offwhite head. Mild fruity and hoppy to slight spiced aroma. Light yeasty flavoured with a hoppy touch. Bitter and medium dry into the finish. Phenolic from back of the nose into the far finish.
