Description
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.

(Draught at Birra, Berlin, 14 Aug 2024) Golden colour with lasting, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, grapefruit, peaches and herbs. Fruity, malty, hoppy taste with notes of tropical fruit, citrus, grapefruit, peaches, herbs, white bread and a balanced citric/herbal bitterness. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Rich and well balanced DIPA. Very nice.

Bottle from Il Birratroo, Como
Red-amber colour, hazy. Strong but smooth; fruity character, some breadcrust aroma. I'm puzzled, it's a fruity strong beer, but it's by far not a Barley Wine.

Poured from 33cl bottle. Lightly hazed copper brown with small white head. Malty dark fruits, sweet-ish, feint oxidation note, not a ton of depth, but it's fine.
