Birreria Le Baladin

Brewery Description:

Our search for the world’s most unique beers has brought us to Piozzo, right outside of Torino, Italy. In this village of 1,000 inhabitants, directly across from the town hall, lies Le Baladin, an extremely unusual brewpub and microbrewery. “Baladin” is a French term referring to a “traveling minstrel.” The owner, Teo Musso, thought that this would be a fitting name for his brewery as the townspeople are known for moving around, especially between Italy and France. Upon visiting the brewery and meeting Teo, one finds that he is a very entertaining minstrel and has, thus, chosen the perfect name for his place.

Teo studied at some of the best small breweries throughout Europe in order to learn his craft. He has worked most closely with another eccentric B. United International supplier, Jean-Louis Dits of Brasserie a Vapeur. Like Jean-Louis, Teo loves experimentation and never works by the books.

Super Baladin “Floreale”

Beer Collection

This is an amber ale with a persistent, light hazelnut colored head. Fruity and warm scents immediately invade the nose, harmoniously blending with the delicate herbaceous and citrusy notes of the hops.

Al-Iksir

Beer Collection

Vintage Collection

Unfiltered, Unpasteurized, Bottle Conditioned

The Al-iksir is characterized in Italy as a “demi-sec” beer. To write this beer off as a standard Belgian Strong Ale would be a mistake. It’s depth, complexity, and uniqueness stems from the masterful hand of brewer Teo Musso and his use of whiskey yeasts, from the island of Islay, for the primary fermentation. These yeasts conduct a rigorous fermentation lending a striking dryness and lively effervescence to the final beer.

The beer pours with a thick head. The complex nose showcases almond and tropical fruit sentiments. As the intense scrubbing bubble hits the tongue malty flavors and aromas of baking spices spread through the mouth. It’s finish is dry and very warming from the high alcohol.

Al-iksir is 10% alcohol by volume and is only produced during the summer and winter solstices and the spring and autumn equinoxes. It is a very versatile beer; it’s signature dryness, high alcohol content, and lively carbonation pair it well with many dishes including meat stews, game dishes, duck, among others-

-though it is also delicious served on its own, in a large glass to explore the unique flavors and aromas. This beer should be served ice-cold (34°-38° F) to TAME ITS YEAST EFFERVESCENCE! .

We find them again in the taste, along with the hints of cereals that are perceived with the very first sip. As the first sensations fade, a pleasant and very subtle peppery note emerges.

2011 - The new year begins with a provocation from Baladin. Faced with the pervasive idea that “the more bitter, the better”, Teo decides to disguise his most representative beer - Super Baladin - as something that seemingly followed that trend. How? By adding American hops using the dry hopping technique.

However, he manages to balance them with the natural sweetness and the malty notes of the original beer. This is the origin of Super Bitterwhose name is more bitter than the actual beer. In fact, in the United States it is curiously sold as Super Floreale, to highlight its overwhelmingly flowery nature, rather than the bitterness.

Nora

Beer Collection

Keg Collection

“Some orangey sweetness bursts out through the center and then the beer dries into a long winy finish. It’s facinating and elegant, and would make a fine match for duck a’l’orange or pork served with fruit sauce. Nora has the classic strength of a saison at 6.8 percent.”

~ Garrett Oliver, The Brewmaster’s Table, pg. 198

Teo’s wife, Nora, is the inspiration fo this special beer, just released last year. Although she hails from the town of Lille, France, she also has Algerian heritage in her blood. So this special brew has been concocted from

an ancient Egyptian recipe. Unmalted kamut which was used in ancient Egyptian beers is employed. Hops, which would not have been used in Egypt, are employed in a tiny qunatity, solely for their preservative power. Rather, gniger, myrrh, and orange peel are used to represent the balancing spices of ancient times. The myrrh provides the bittering that allows Teo to mostly forgo the use of hops.

Comments from Lorenzo Dabove, Italy’s very own beer expert. He is the director of Unionbirrai in Italy, is a teacher of the Slow Food organization’s Master of Food course, and has been featured in All About Beer with Charlie Papazian:

“The nose is very complex with a warm lovely bouquet of rose and violet. Fruity aromas of bitter orange, mango, and lytchees marry beautifully with the floral aromas. The beer is well balanced in the mouth with an interesting sensual spiced aftertaste and unexpected balsamic notes. Nora requires concentration in order for one to appreciate all of the flavours. However, it would also be perfect in a high-rate dinner with exotic and oriental food. This beer is like its brewer: eccentric and creative.”

Wayan

Beer Collection

“Today there are more than ninety small craft breweries in Italy, some of them producing excellent beers. My favorite is the brew pub Birra Baladin, run by Teo Musso, a talented brewer in the tiny Piemontese hilltop town of Piozzo, a quick drive from the famous wine villages of Barolo and La Morra. He spent some time at Brasserie a Vapeur in Belgium, and its influence shows clearly. Musso’s well balanced beers are largely brewed in Belgian styles, and he certainly has a Belgian sense of creativity, using herbs, spices, and unusual grains with abandon. ”

Le Baladin Wayan is made of 17 different ingredients {barley, wheat, spelt, oats, rye, different types of hops & many different spices besides coriander. Teo calls it a “Saison” but it is certainly his personal definition of a saison. Aroma & palate are rather complex, ie it takes some time to find your way through it, so to speak. The different hops are barely noticeable. The balance & bitterness is by a high degree provided by those many spices some of which are very very unusual in brewing {Teo does not disclose them} . This quite unusual combination of spices & herbs greatly impacts the finish which again is very different from “regular saison-style ales”.

Le Baladin Xyauyù

Beer Collection

Vintage Collection

Everything started in 2004 from one of Teos’ visions: turning one of the typical flaws of beers - oxidation - into a strength. Long years of experimentations and tests culminating in

the creation of a unique barley wine: Xyauyù. A peculiar name, that is difficult to forget, and comes from the innocent imagination of Wayan - Teo’s second child, who was three at the time - and the name of her imaginary daughter: Xyauyù.

Since its creation, Xyauyù has won everyone over. Its success has been acknowledged by several awards and victories. So it’s no surprise that master Teo has decided to grow the family of these barley wines with new, unprecedented versions. Xyauyù soon became tree: Oro, Argento and Rame. Only the Oro version has survived, along with several special editions: Barrel, aged in rum barrels; Fumè, aged in scottish whisky barrels; Kentucky, with the infusion of strong Italian cigar and Kioke, aged in traditional Japanese barrels used to ferment soy sauce.

Beer Collection

Vintage Collection

The idea of aging Xyauyù in rum bottles first came about in 2012. Teo contacts his friend Luca Gargano from Velier who, in 2004, on one of his research trips, came across a distillery in Trinidad: the legendary Caroni, which had been shut down the previous year but still had a valuable stock of hundreds of barrels. He decides to buy them and bring their precious contents to Europe. The story of this beer begins with the empty Caroni barrels, and the aromas of this wonderful distillate. In 2010 Teo develops a special Xyauyù Barrel Caroni label, and sells it exclusively to Velier to thank them for the valuable cooperation.

Xyauyù Fumè

Beer Collection

Vintage Collection

In 2012, the Xyauyù aging experience reaches a new level with the arrival of Scottish barrels used to age great Scottish whiskies. Their distinctive peculiarity is the presence of peaty notes.

The name for this beer is not new. Xyauyù Fumè was originally produced with Lapsang Souchong, a Chinese tea which also has smoky aromas. Apparently, Teo does have his favorite whisky, but if you want to know which one it is, you’ll have to come to Piozzo and ask him.

Beer Collection

Vintage Collection

At the end of Expo 2015, Teo receives as a gift the barrel exhibited at the Japanese pavilion. It was there to represent the tradition of the craftsmen who build the barrels for the fermentation of soy sauce. So he comes up up with the idea of aging a Xyauyù in this precious barrel called Kioke. The Kioke barrel is open on top and is produced by Yasuo Yamamoto (Yamaroku Shoyu) on the island of Shodo.

The result is a beer that originates from the combination of two great craft traditions related to the art of fermentation. Xyauyù, once fermented and aged for 18 months, is openair aged in a new Kioke barrel, i.e. which has never been used for the fermentation of soy.

The barrel gives delicate resinous notes and a slightly acidic touch, for a unique aromatic profile.

The manufacturing of Kioke barrels is disappearing in Japan, replaced by stainless steel fermentation vessels. To preserve the tradition, Yasuo Yamamoto, the last generation in a family of soy sauce producers, has decided to make them in his workshop, with the intention of being an inspiration for his colleagues and other coopers. This beer is a way to share this effort and play one of the key roles of craft products: telling stories through emotions and sharing.

Birra Nazionale

Beer Collection

Nazionale is the result of a search that started a few years ago at Birreria Le Baladin to create an artisanal beer made with 100% Italian ingredients. This quest lead the brewery to collaborating with grain farmers throughout the country and helping to establish some of the first hop farms in the Mediterranean country. Thanks to the cooperation with the Agricultural Institute of Cussanio, and “Tecnogranda” in Cuneo, Baladin Nazionale is the FIRST 100% ITALIAN BEER obtained solely from Italian raw materials. The barley is grown and malted in Basilicata, in southern Italy. The hops used, Cascade and Magnum, are 80% produced in an experimental field in the town of Cussanio, in Piedmont and the remaining 20% are from Emilia-Romagna. While the spices used in the recipe, Bergamot peel and Coriander hail from the southern Italian region of Calabria.

Nazionale is a delicate and accessible beer where the ingredients meet in a harmonious and original way, giving life to what, for us, is the first true

“100% Italian ALE” in name, intent and fact!

Metodo Classico

Beer Collection

Vintage Collection

All beers produced by Teo Musso undergo a second fermentation in the bottle, but in this case the concept is taken to the extreme with the aim of exploring the most intimate secrets and most hidden nuances of this technique. To this purpose, in 2008 we started to plan three longterm refermentation cycles. Each would take two years and take place in the cellars of winemaker Fontanafredda, in cooperation with the oenologists who have developed the Alta Langa sparkling wine.

The method, called Metodo Classico, originates in the world of wine, but can be adapted very well to beer production. The first batch was produced in February 2014 and bottled on March 5th the same year. For Teo - who was born on this day - it was a great birthday present for his 50 years. The 2015 reserve (12,197 bottles) rested – technically speaking, it was left “on the lees” – for 18 months. This was followed by the disgorgement, i.e. the process of opening each bottle to eliminate any excess yeast. A long process which required the work of many expert

hands and blessed us with many surprises and emotions.

The bottle itself, 900 grams of glass (the necessary weight to withstand the extremely high pressures caused by fermentation) is a tribute to the beginnings of Baladin. For the sake of transparency, please note that Baladin Metodo Classico makes no use of winemaking-related ingredients, such as grapes, musts or yeasts. .

Cola Baladin

Non-Alcoholic Carbonated Beverage / Soft Drink

Is the result of an idea shared by Slow Food and Baladin, which is committed to only buying the kola of the Kenema Slow Food Foundation for biodiversity projects in Sierra Leone by assigning them a percentage of its sales. This is a tangible help for many producers’ communities who live in one of the poorest countries in the world. Kola nut is an indigeneous fruit of tropical forests and can be found in Western Africa, especially in Sierra Leone, in the Kenema region.

A natural recipe, full of great ingredients: the citrus aromas come from oranges from Gargano, lemons from the Amalfi Coast citrus myrtifolia (chinotto) from Savona. The very complex spicy notes come mainly from Kenema cola nuts, as well as cinnamon, coriander, cardamom, nutmeg and other secret spices.... water, white cane and sugar

Teo studied at some of the best small breweries throughout Europe in order to learn his craft. He has worked most closely with another eccentric B. United International supplier, Jean-Louis Dits of Brasserie a Vapeur. Like Jean-Louis, Teo loves experimentation and never works by the books.

Baladin Cider

A drink linked to the earth, to tradition and the quintessential biblical fruit, the fruit of sin…

A combination between the French-Belgian tradition and the typical apple juice of Piedmont, Baladin cider is the product of the spontaneous fermentation of apples.

Fresh and genuine, its color is clear and with a fine perlage.

It smells of flowers and spring meadows, and leaves a delicate and persistent taste. Excellent as an aperitif, ideal for informal meetings and romantic dates.

“The apples used are sweet varieties and sour in the same time. They are like “renetta” apple, cultivated in Piedmont and in Savoy. “Savoie” is in France, close to the Alps and half an hour drive from Turin. Savoy is the homeland of the ancient king of Piedmont-Sardinia.

Baladin cider is made with an apple variety dating back to the “Dukes of Savoy and King of Piedmont ages.”

Birrificio Montegioco Srl Frazione Fabbrica, 3015050, Montegioco, Italy

Brewery Description:

The Birrificio Montegioco was born from the creative mind of Riccardo Franzosi and his passion for brewing. He first started brewing the “wonderful drink” for its simple appeal to staff and numerous friends. And subsequently he has decided to transform his best creations from a hobby to an actual business.

Microbirrificio or Brewpub? The choice was not easy but Riccardo believed that creating a micro brewery would allow him to concentrate exclusively on the brewing process and thus bring out the best in his beers.Therefore the brewery does not have a serving premises like many other brewpubs in Italy. Construction for Birrificio started in early 2005. The brewery was built in a restored warehouse building that was built in 1935.

Barbera wine grapes are found in the north western part of Italy, particularly in Monferrato, and to a lesser extent further south. It likes the same conditions as Nebbiolo, but the latter is more profitable so is grown on the best sites. The earlier-ripening Barbera is grown on the cooler lower slopes below the Nebbiolo, and other secondary locations. This explains why relatively little Barbera is grown in the DOCG around Alba, where the wines are entitled to the appellation Barbera d’Alba. Thus the best known Barbera is the DOC of Barbera d’Asti. Barbera del Monferrato DOC - which tends to be somewhat sparkling (frizzante) - is seldom exported. - Courtesy of Wikipedia.com

Al-Iksir

Beer Collection

Vintage Collection

Unfiltered, Unpasteurized, Bottle Conditioned

The Al-iksir is characterized in Italy as a “demi-sec” beer. To write this beer off as a standard Belgian Strong Ale would be a mistake. It’s depth, complexity, and uniqueness stems from the masterful hand of brewer Teo Musso and his use of whiskey yeasts, from the island of Islay, for the primary fermentation. These yeasts conduct a rigorous fermentation lending a striking dryness and lively effervescence to the final beer.

The beer pours with a thick head. The complex nose showcases almond and tropical fruit sentiments. As the intense scrubbing bubble hits the tongue malty flavors and aromas of baking spices spread through the mouth. It’s finish is dry and very warming from the high alcohol.

Al-iksir is 10% alcohol by volume and is only produced during the summer and winter solstices and the spring and autumn equinoxes. It is a very versatile beer; it’s signature dryness, high alcohol content, and lively carbonation pair it well with many dishes including meat stews, game dishes, duck, among others-

-though it is also delicious served on its own, in a large glass to explore the unique flavors and aromas. This beer should be served ice-cold (34°-38° F) to TAME ITS YEAST EFFERVESCENCE! .

We find them again in the taste, along with the hints of cereals that are perceived with the very first sip. As the first sensations fade, a pleasant and very subtle peppery note emerges.

2011 - The new year begins with a provocation from Baladin. Faced with the pervasive idea that “the more bitter, the better”, Teo decides to disguise his most representative beer - Super Baladin - as something that seemingly followed that trend. How? By adding American hops using the dry hopping technique.

However, he manages to balance them with the natural sweetness and the malty notes of the original beer. This is the origin of Super Bitterwhose name is more bitter than the actual beer. In fact, in the United States it is curiously sold as Super Floreale, to highlight its overwhelmingly flowery nature, rather than the bitterness.

Nora

Beer Collection

Keg Collection

“Some orangey sweetness bursts out through the center and then the beer dries into a long winy finish. It’s facinating and elegant, and would make a fine match for duck a’l’orange or pork served with fruit sauce. Nora has the classic strength of a saison at 6.8 percent.”

~ Garrett Oliver, The Brewmaster’s Table, pg. 198

Teo’s wife, Nora, is the inspiration fo this special beer, just released last year. Although she hails from the town of Lille, France, she also has Algerian heritage in her blood. So this special brew has been concocted from

an ancient Egyptian recipe. Unmalted kamut which was used in ancient Egyptian beers is employed. Hops, which would not have been used in Egypt, are employed in a tiny qunatity, solely for their preservative power. Rather, gniger, myrrh, and orange peel are used to represent the balancing spices of ancient times. The myrrh provides the bittering that allows Teo to mostly forgo the use of hops.

Comments from Lorenzo Dabove, Italy’s very own beer expert. He is the director of Unionbirrai in Italy, is a teacher of the Slow Food organization’s Master of Food course, and has been featured in All About Beer with Charlie Papazian:

“The nose is very complex with a warm lovely bouquet of rose and violet. Fruity aromas of bitter orange, mango, and lytchees marry beautifully with the floral aromas. The beer is well balanced in the mouth with an interesting sensual spiced aftertaste and unexpected balsamic notes. Nora requires concentration in order for one to appreciate all of the flavours. However, it would also be perfect in a high-rate dinner with exotic and oriental food. This beer is like its brewer: eccentric and creative.”

Wayan

Beer Collection

“Today there are more than ninety small craft breweries in Italy, some of them producing excellent beers. My favorite is the brew pub Birra Baladin, run by Teo Musso, a talented brewer in the tiny Piemontese hilltop town of Piozzo, a quick drive from the famous wine villages of Barolo and La Morra. He spent some time at Brasserie a Vapeur in Belgium, and its influence shows clearly. Musso’s well balanced beers are largely brewed in Belgian styles, and he certainly has a Belgian sense of creativity, using herbs, spices, and unusual grains with abandon. ”

Le Baladin Wayan is made of 17 different ingredients {barley, wheat, spelt, oats, rye, different types of hops & many different spices besides coriander. Teo calls it a “Saison” but it is certainly his personal definition of a saison. Aroma & palate are rather complex, ie it takes some time to find your way through it, so to speak. The different hops are barely noticeable. The balance & bitterness is by a high degree provided by those many spices some of which are very very unusual in brewing {Teo does not disclose them} . This quite unusual combination of spices & herbs greatly impacts the finish which again is very different from “regular saison-style ales”.

Le Baladin Xyauyù

Beer Collection

Vintage Collection

Everything started in 2004 from one of Teos’ visions: turning one of the typical flaws of beers - oxidation - into a strength. Long years of experimentations and tests culminating in

the creation of a unique barley wine: Xyauyù. A peculiar name, that is difficult to forget, and comes from the innocent imagination of Wayan - Teo’s second child, who was three at the time - and the name of her imaginary daughter: Xyauyù.

Since its creation, Xyauyù has won everyone over. Its success has been acknowledged by several awards and victories. So it’s no surprise that master Teo has decided to grow the family of these barley wines with new, unprecedented versions. Xyauyù soon became tree: Oro, Argento and Rame. Only the Oro version has survived, along with several special editions: Barrel, aged in rum barrels; Fumè, aged in scottish whisky barrels; Kentucky, with the infusion of strong Italian cigar and Kioke, aged in traditional Japanese barrels used to ferment soy sauce.

Xyauyù Barrel

Beer Collection

Vintage Collection

The idea of aging Xyauyù in rum bottles first came about in 2012. Teo contacts his friend Luca Gargano from Velier who, in 2004, on one of his research trips, came across a distillery in Trinidad: the legendary Caroni, which had been shut down the previous year but still had a valuable stock of hundreds of barrels. He decides to buy them and bring their precious contents to Europe. The story of this beer begins with the empty Caroni barrels, and the aromas of this wonderful distillate. In 2010 Teo develops a special Xyauyù Barrel Caroni label, and sells it exclusively to Velier to thank them for the valuable cooperation.

Xyauyù Fumè

Beer Collection

Vintage Collection

In 2012, the Xyauyù aging experience reaches a new level with the arrival of Scottish barrels used to age great Scottish whiskies. Their distinctive peculiarity is the presence of peaty notes.

The name for this beer is not new. Xyauyù Fumè was originally produced with Lapsang Souchong, a Chinese tea which also has smoky aromas. Apparently, Teo does have his favorite whisky, but if you want to know which one it is, you’ll have to come to Piozzo and ask him.

Xyayù Kioke

Beer Collection

Vintage Collection

At the end of Expo 2015, Teo receives as a gift the barrel exhibited at the Japanese pavilion. It was there to represent the tradition of the craftsmen who build the barrels for the fermentation of soy sauce. So he comes up up with the idea of aging a Xyauyù in this precious barrel called Kioke. The Kioke barrel is open on top and is produced by Yasuo Yamamoto (Yamaroku Shoyu) on the island of Shodo.

The result is a beer that originates from the combination of two great craft traditions related to the art of fermentation. Xyauyù, once fermented and aged for 18 months, is openair aged in a new Kioke barrel, i.e. which has never been used for the fermentation of soy.

The barrel gives delicate resinous notes and a slightly acidic touch, for a unique aromatic profile.

The manufacturing of Kioke barrels is disappearing in Japan, replaced by stainless steel fermentation vessels. To preserve the tradition, Yasuo Yamamoto, the last generation in a family of soy sauce producers, has decided to make them in his workshop, with the intention of being an inspiration for his colleagues and other coopers. This beer is a way to share this effort and play one of the key roles of craft products: telling stories through emotions and sharing.

Birra Nazionale

Beer Collection

Nazionale is the result of a search that started a few years ago at Birreria Le Baladin to create an artisanal beer made with 100% Italian ingredients. This quest lead the brewery to collaborating with grain farmers throughout the country and helping to establish some of the first hop farms in the Mediterranean country. Thanks to the cooperation with the Agricultural Institute of Cussanio, and “Tecnogranda” in Cuneo, Baladin Nazionale is the FIRST 100% ITALIAN BEER obtained solely from Italian raw materials. The barley is grown and malted in Basilicata, in southern Italy. The hops used, Cascade and Magnum, are 80% produced in an experimental field in the town of Cussanio, in Piedmont and the remaining 20% are from Emilia-Romagna. While the spices used in the recipe, Bergamot peel and Coriander hail from the southern Italian region of Calabria.

Nazionale is a delicate and accessible beer where the ingredients meet in a harmonious and original way, giving life to what, for us, is the first true

“100% Italian ALE” in name, intent and fact!

Metodo Classico

Beer Collection

Vintage Collection

All beers produced by Teo Musso undergo a second fermentation in the bottle, but in this case the concept is taken to the extreme with the aim of exploring the most intimate secrets and most hidden nuances of this technique. To this purpose, in 2008 we started to plan three longterm refermentation cycles. Each would take two years and take place in the cellars of winemaker Fontanafredda, in cooperation with the oenologists who have developed the Alta Langa sparkling wine.

The method, called Metodo Classico, originates in the world of wine, but can be adapted very well to beer production. The first batch was produced in February 2014 and bottled on March 5th the same year. For Teo - who was born on this day - it was a great birthday present for his 50 years. The 2015 reserve (12,197 bottles) rested – technically speaking, it was left “on the lees” – for 18 months. This was followed by the disgorgement, i.e. the process of opening each bottle to eliminate any excess yeast. A long process which required the work of many expert

hands and blessed us with many surprises and emotions.

The bottle itself, 900 grams of glass (the necessary weight to withstand the extremely high pressures caused by fermentation) is a tribute to the beginnings of Baladin. For the sake of transparency, please note that Baladin Metodo Classico makes no use of winemaking-related ingredients, such as grapes, musts or yeasts. .

These are perfectly counterbalanced by hints of roasted cereals, which evoke the taste of nuts. The bitter note of hops leaves a balanced bitter-sweet aftertaste, which satisfies the palate at every sip.

Piazza V Luglio 15, 12060 Piozzo (CN), ITALY

Brewery Description:

Our search for the world’s most unique beers has brought us to Piozzo, right outside of Torino, Italy. In this village of 1,000 inhabitants, directly across from the town hall, lies Le Baladin, an extremely unusual brewpub and microbrewery. “Baladin” is a French term referring to a “traveling minstrel.” The owner, Teo Musso, thought that this would be a fitting name for his brewery as the townspeople are known for moving around, especially between Italy and France. Upon visiting the brewery and meeting Teo, one finds that he is a very entertaining minstrel and has, thus, chosen the perfect name for his place.

Cola Baladin

Non-Alcoholic Carbonated Beverage / Soft Drink

Is the result of an idea shared by Slow Food and Baladin, which is committed to only buying the kola of the Kenema Slow Food Foundation for biodiversity projects in Sierra Leone by assigning them a percentage of its sales. This is a tangible help for many producers’ communities who live in one of the poorest countries in the world. Kola nut is an indigeneous fruit of tropical forests and can be found in Western Africa, especially in Sierra Leone, in the Kenema region.

A natural recipe, full of great ingredients: the citrus aromas come from oranges from Gargano, lemons from the Amalfi Coast citrus myrtifolia (chinotto) from Savona. The very complex spicy notes come mainly from Kenema cola nuts, as well as cinnamon, coriander, cardamom, nutmeg and other secret spices.... water, white cane and sugar

Cedrata Baladin is produced with simple and selected ingredients and contains no colorings or preservatives. Thanks to its acidic taste rounded by the use of brown sugar, Cedrata Baladin is a fresh drink for all meals (including a midnight snack!).

Brewery Description:

The Birrificio Montegioco was born from the creative mind of Riccardo Franzosi and his passion for brewing. He first started brewing the “wonderful drink” for its simple appeal to staff and numerous friends. And subsequently he has decided to transform his best creations from a hobby to an actual business.

Microbirrificio or Brewpub? The choice was not easy but Riccardo believed that creating a micro brewery would allow him to concentrate exclusively on the brewing process and thus bring out the best in his beers.Therefore the brewery does not have a serving premises like many other brewpubs in Italy. Construction for Birrificio started in early 2005. The brewery was built in a restored warehouse building that was built in 1935.

Barbera wine grapes are found in the north western part of Italy, particularly in Monferrato, and to a lesser extent further south. It likes the same conditions as Nebbiolo, but the latter is more profitable so is grown on the best sites. The earlier-ripening Barbera is grown on the cooler lower slopes below the Nebbiolo, and other secondary locations. This explains why relatively little Barbera is grown in the DOCG around Alba, where the wines are entitled to the appellation Barbera d’Alba. Thus the best known Barbera is the DOC of Barbera d’Asti. Barbera del Monferrato DOC - which tends to be somewhat sparkling (frizzante) - is seldom exported. - Courtesy of Wikipedia.com

An Italian spiced ale made with whole roses & violets, citrus bee honey, pepper and elderberries.

A totally one-of-a-kind beer, Fleurette is pinkish-pomegranate in color and brewed with violets, rose petals, elderflower syrup, black pepper and orange tree honey.

Scires

Beer Collection

Brewed by way of single step infusion. Bottom fermenting yeast is added to induce fermentation at 10°C (48°F). When attenuation reaches 50 %, it is blended with a combination of old and young sour beer that were fermented with lactic acid bacteria, wild yeast and black sweet cherries. The fermentation continues and the natural sugars from the malt and cherries are converted to alcohol. At the end of primay fer-

mentation, fresh beer wort and top fermenting Saccharomyces Cerevisiae yeast are added. The beer is then bottled and sent to refermentation in a cold room at around 7°C (42°F). The refermentation lasts about 4 months.

Birreria Le Baladin

Piazza V Luglio 15, 12060 Piozzo (CN), ITALY

Brewery Description:

Our search for the world’s most unique beers has brought us to Piozzo, right outside of Torino, Italy. In this village of 1,000 inhabitants, directly across from the town hall, lies Le Baladin, an extremely unusual brewpub and microbrewery. “Baladin” is a French term referring to a “traveling minstrel.” The owner, Teo Musso, thought that this would be a fitting name for his brewery as the townspeople are known for moving around, especially between Italy and France. Upon visiting the brewery and meeting Teo, one finds that he is a very entertaining minstrel and has, thus, chosen the perfect name for his place.

Teo studied at some of the best small breweries throughout Europe in order to learn his craft. He has worked most closely with another eccentric B. United International supplier, Jean-Louis Dits of Brasserie a Vapeur. Like Jean-Louis, Teo loves experimentation and never works by the books.

Super Baladin “Floreale”

Beer Collection

This is an amber ale with a persistent, light hazelnut colored head. Fruity and warm scents immediately invade the nose, harmoniously blending with the delicate herbaceous and citrusy notes of the hops.

Al-Iksir

Beer Collection

Vintage Collection

Unfiltered, Unpasteurized, Bottle Conditioned

The Al-iksir is characterized in Italy as a “demi-sec” beer. To write this beer off as a standard Belgian Strong Ale would be a mistake. It’s depth, complexity, and uniqueness stems from the masterful hand of brewer Teo Musso and his use of whiskey yeasts, from the island of Islay, for the primary fermentation. These yeasts conduct a rigorous fermentation lending a striking dryness and lively effervescence to the final beer.

The beer pours with a thick head. The complex nose showcases almond and tropical fruit sentiments. As the intense scrubbing bubble hits the tongue malty flavors and aromas of baking spices spread through the mouth. It’s finish is dry and very warming from the high alcohol.

Al-iksir is 10% alcohol by volume and is only produced during the summer and winter solstices and the spring and autumn equinoxes. It is a very versatile beer; it’s signature dryness, high alcohol content, and lively carbonation pair it well with many dishes including meat stews, game dishes, duck, among others-

-though it is also delicious served on its own, in a large glass to explore the unique flavors and aromas. This beer should be served ice-cold (34°-38° F) to TAME ITS YEAST EFFERVESCENCE! .

We find them again in the taste, along with the hints of cereals that are perceived with the very first sip. As the first sensations fade, a pleasant and very subtle peppery note emerges.

2011 - The new year begins with a provocation from Baladin. Faced with the pervasive idea that “the more bitter, the better”, Teo decides to disguise his most representative beer - Super Baladin - as something that seemingly followed that trend. How? By adding American hops using the dry hopping technique.

However, he manages to balance them with the natural sweetness and the malty notes of the original beer. This is the origin of Super Bitterwhose name is more bitter than the actual beer. In fact, in the United States it is curiously sold as Super Floreale, to highlight its overwhelmingly flowery nature, rather than the bitterness.

Nora

Beer Collection

Keg Collection

“Some orangey sweetness bursts out through the center and then the beer dries into a long winy finish. It’s facinating and elegant, and would make a fine match for duck a’l’orange or pork served with fruit sauce. Nora has the classic strength of a saison at 6.8 percent.”

~ Garrett Oliver, The Brewmaster’s Table, pg. 198

Teo’s wife, Nora, is the inspiration fo this special beer, just released last year. Although she hails from the town of Lille, France, she also has Algerian heritage in her blood. So this special brew has been concocted from

an ancient Egyptian recipe. Unmalted kamut which was used in ancient Egyptian beers is employed. Hops, which would not have been used in Egypt, are employed in a tiny qunatity, solely for their preservative power. Rather, gniger, myrrh, and orange peel are used to represent the balancing spices of ancient times. The myrrh provides the bittering that allows Teo to mostly forgo the use of hops.

Comments from Lorenzo Dabove, Italy’s very own beer expert. He is the director of Unionbirrai in Italy, is a teacher of the Slow Food organization’s Master of Food course, and has been featured in All About Beer with Charlie Papazian:

“The nose is very complex with a warm lovely bouquet of rose and violet. Fruity aromas of bitter orange, mango, and lytchees marry beautifully with the floral aromas. The beer is well balanced in the mouth with an interesting sensual spiced aftertaste and unexpected balsamic notes. Nora requires concentration in order for one to appreciate all of the flavours. However, it would also be perfect in a high-rate dinner with exotic and oriental food. This beer is like its brewer: eccentric and creative.”

Wayan

Beer Collection

“Today there are more than ninety small craft breweries in Italy, some of them producing excellent beers. My favorite is the brew pub Birra Baladin, run by Teo Musso, a talented brewer in the tiny Piemontese hilltop town of Piozzo, a quick drive from the famous wine villages of Barolo and La Morra. He spent some time at Brasserie a Vapeur in Belgium, and its influence shows clearly. Musso’s well balanced beers are largely brewed in Belgian styles, and he certainly has a Belgian sense of creativity, using herbs, spices, and unusual grains with abandon. ”

Le Baladin Wayan is made of 17 different ingredients {barley, wheat, spelt, oats, rye, different types of hops & many different spices besides coriander. Teo calls it a “Saison” but it is certainly his personal definition of a saison. Aroma & palate are rather complex, ie it takes some time to find your way through it, so to speak. The different hops are barely noticeable. The balance & bitterness is by a high degree provided by those many spices some of which are very very unusual in brewing {Teo does not disclose them} . This quite unusual combination of spices & herbs greatly impacts the finish which again is very different from “regular saison-style ales”.

Le Baladin Xyauyù

Beer Collection

Vintage Collection

Everything started in 2004 from one of Teos’ visions: turning one of the typical flaws of beers - oxidation - into a strength. Long years of experimentations and tests culminating in

the creation of a unique barley wine: Xyauyù. A peculiar name, that is difficult to forget, and comes from the innocent imagination of Wayan - Teo’s second child, who was three at the time - and the name of her imaginary daughter: Xyauyù.

Since its creation, Xyauyù has won everyone over. Its success has been acknowledged by several awards and victories. So it’s no surprise that master Teo has decided to grow the family of these barley wines with new, unprecedented versions. Xyauyù soon became tree: Oro, Argento and Rame. Only the Oro version has survived, along with several special editions: Barrel, aged in rum barrels; Fumè, aged in scottish whisky barrels; Kentucky, with the infusion of strong Italian cigar and Kioke, aged in traditional Japanese barrels used to ferment soy sauce.

Beer Collection

The idea of aging Xyauyù in rum bottles first came about in 2012. Teo contacts his friend Luca Gargano from Velier who, in 2004, on one of his research trips, came across a distillery in Trinidad: the legendary Caroni, which had been shut down the previous year but still had a valuable stock of hundreds of barrels. He decides to buy them and bring their precious contents to Europe. The story of this beer begins with the empty Caroni barrels, and the aromas of this wonderful distillate. In 2010 Teo develops a special Xyauyù Barrel Caroni label, and sells it exclusively to Velier to thank them for the valuable cooperation.

Beer Collection

Vintage Collection

In 2012, the Xyauyù aging experience reaches a new level with the arrival of Scottish barrels used to age great Scottish whiskies. Their distinctive peculiarity is the presence of peaty notes.

The name for this beer is not new. Xyauyù Fumè was originally produced with Lapsang Souchong, a Chinese tea which also has smoky aromas. Apparently, Teo does have his favorite whisky, but if you want to know which one it is, you’ll have to come to Piozzo and ask him.

At the end of Expo 2015, Teo receives as a gift the barrel exhibited at the Japanese pavilion. It was there to represent the tradition of the craftsmen who build the barrels for the fermentation of soy sauce. So he comes up up with the idea of aging a Xyauyù in this precious barrel called Kioke. The Kioke barrel is open on top and is produced by Yasuo Yamamoto (Yamaroku Shoyu) on the island of Shodo.

The result is a beer that originates from the combination of two great craft traditions related to the art of fermentation. Xyauyù, once fermented and aged for 18 months, is openair aged in a new Kioke barrel, i.e. which has never been used for the fermentation of soy.

The barrel gives delicate resinous notes and a slightly acidic touch, for a unique aromatic profile.

The manufacturing of Kioke barrels is disappearing in Japan, replaced by stainless steel fermentation vessels. To preserve the tradition, Yasuo Yamamoto, the last generation in a family of soy sauce producers, has decided to make them in his workshop, with the intention of being an inspiration for his colleagues and other coopers. This beer is a way to share this effort and play one of the key roles of craft products: telling stories through emotions and sharing.

Beer Collection

Nazionale is the result of a search that started a few years ago at Birreria Le Baladin to create an artisanal beer made with 100% Italian ingredients. This quest lead the brewery to collaborating with grain farmers throughout the country and helping to establish some of the first hop farms in the Mediterranean country. Thanks to the cooperation with the Agricultural Institute of Cussanio, and “Tecnogranda” in Cuneo, Baladin Nazionale is the FIRST 100% ITALIAN BEER obtained solely from Italian raw materials. The barley is grown and malted in Basilicata, in southern Italy. The hops used, Cascade and Magnum, are 80% produced in an experimental field in the town of Cussanio, in Piedmont and the remaining 20% are from Emilia-Romagna. While the spices used in the recipe, Bergamot peel and Coriander hail from the southern Italian region of Calabria.

Nazionale is a delicate and accessible beer where the ingredients meet in a harmonious and original way, giving life to what, for us, is the first true

“100% Italian ALE” in name, intent and fact!

Metodo Classico

Beer Collection

Vintage Collection

All beers produced by Teo Musso undergo a second fermentation in the bottle, but in this case the concept is taken to the extreme with the aim of exploring the most intimate secrets and most hidden nuances of this technique. To this purpose, in 2008 we started to plan three longterm refermentation cycles. Each would take two years and take place in the cellars of winemaker Fontanafredda, in cooperation with the oenologists who have developed the Alta Langa sparkling wine.

The method, called Metodo Classico, originates in the world of wine, but can be adapted very well to beer production. The first batch was produced in February 2014 and bottled on March 5th the same year. For Teo - who was born on this day - it was a great birthday present for his 50 years. The 2015 reserve (12,197 bottles) rested – technically speaking, it was left “on the lees” – for 18 months. This was followed by the disgorgement, i.e. the process of opening each bottle to eliminate any excess yeast. A long process which required the work of many expert

hands and blessed us with many surprises and emotions.

The bottle itself, 900 grams of glass (the necessary weight to withstand the extremely high pressures caused by fermentation) is a tribute to the beginnings of Baladin. For the sake of transparency, please note that Baladin Metodo Classico makes no use of winemaking-related ingredients, such as grapes, musts or yeasts. .

Cola Baladin

Non-Alcoholic Carbonated Beverage / Soft Drink

Is the result of an idea shared by Slow Food and Baladin, which is committed to only buying the kola of the Kenema Slow Food Foundation for biodiversity projects in Sierra Leone by assigning them a percentage of its sales. This is a tangible help for many producers’ communities who live in one of the poorest countries in the world. Kola nut is an indigeneous fruit of tropical forests and can be found in Western Africa, especially in Sierra Leone, in the Kenema region.

A natural recipe, full of great ingredients: the citrus aromas come from oranges from Gargano, lemons from the Amalfi Coast citrus myrtifolia (chinotto) from Savona.

With his soft drinks, such as Cola, Teo has managed to refine and modernize “good old” tastes, interpreting them in a very innovative way, as he has done with Cola. But it is Mela Zen that truly marks the beginning of pure experimentation. It is produced in small quantities with the clear intention to get in contact with those who drink it and create a new taste together. The recipe contains apples and ginger, two excellent agricultural products. Fresh, tasty, intriguing… Let’s discover it together!

Birrificio Montegioco Srl Frazione Fabbrica, 3015050, Montegioco, Italy

Brewery Description:

The Birrificio Montegioco was born from the creative mind of Riccardo Franzosi and his passion for brewing. He first started brewing the “wonderful drink” for its simple appeal to staff and numerous friends. And subsequently he has decided to transform his best creations from a hobby to an actual business.

Microbirrificio or Brewpub? The choice was not easy but Riccardo believed that creating a micro brewery would allow him to concentrate exclusively on the brewing process and thus bring out the best in his beers.Therefore the brewery does not have a serving premises like many other brewpubs in Italy. Construction for Birrificio started in early 2005. The brewery was built in a restored warehouse building that was built in 1935.

Barbera wine grapes are found in the north western part of Italy, particularly in Monferrato, and to a lesser extent further south. It likes the same conditions as Nebbiolo, but the latter is more profitable so is grown on the best sites. The earlier-ripening Barbera is grown on the cooler lower slopes below the Nebbiolo, and other secondary locations. This explains why relatively little Barbera is grown in the DOCG around Alba, where the wines are entitled to the appellation Barbera d’Alba. Thus the best known Barbera is the DOC of Barbera d’Asti. Barbera del Monferrato DOC - which tends to be somewhat sparkling (frizzante) - is seldom exported. - Courtesy of Wikipedia.com

Brewery Description:

Birrificio Del Ducato is one of Italy’s up-and-coming microbreweries.

Giovanni Campari, the brewmaster, is part of Italy’s second generation of Italian craft brewers. Like many in Italy, he started as a home-brewer. However, with a degree in Food Science and Technology, he was not starting from scratch. Before opening the brewery with a couple of friends, he worked at Birrificio Italiano, one of the older craft breweries. Campari says that the first generation of Italian brewers were inspired by Belgian and German traditions, whereas he and his peers, inspired mostly by their pioneering compatriots, are moving toward developing an Italian beer identity.

Vieille Ville

Beer Collection

“Neither snobby nor rude, neither submissive nor subservient, this beer’s character is unique. Balance, elegance and Brettanomyces’s rustic simplicity coexist beautifully. The yeast keeps refining with time making the beer more complex and round year after year.

“During adolescence, when I used to spend my afternoons in pubs with friends, Orval was one of the beers that struck me the most. Unique to its kind, it stands out for its freshness, dryness and simplicity. Complex aromas of leather, cellar, salami skin, cheese ends and rust make its character mysterious. Bottle aging enhances further its complexity by making it more and more charming. Added before bottling, Brettanomyces wild yeast is the secret behind this marvelous beer. Knowing about this practice through Orval, I took up the challenge of making my own. I decided to brew a standard Saison by using a very simple recipe (Pilsner malt, Poperinge hops and Belgian yeast).Then I re-fermented it by adding a single strain of Brettanomyces before bottling.

“Months of aging made this beer’s end result go way beyond my greatest expectations. At

Villaggio della Birra Festival or at Boreft Beer Festival (September 2012) although still young, it was already incredible for its freshness, multi-faceted flavors and balance. Drinking it after seven months of bottle fermentation was a multi-sensory experience. Brettanomyces conveyed it greater dryness, complexity and elegance. Just like a butterfly emerges from its chrysa lis so this beer undergoes a transmutation that with time makes it a completely new beer.

“Thus no visible thing perishes completely as Nature recreates from one thing to the next and never lets one be born without another dying” as the lustrous Latin poet Lucretius writes in his De Rerum Natura. This is the only quote showing on the label because nothing else needs to be said or explained. We only ought to take it in and reflect. We can’t always understand everything as truth cannot be grasped. “The modern western man is obsessed in his rational attempt to possess truth and to enclose the entire universe within categories. In my opinion, neither the unknown can be grasped nor can beauty be captured. Beauty, that part of the unknown alive within us all, can only be perceived during rare moments of ecstasy. If you are sensitive enough, if you listen deeply and open your mind then you may be fortunate enough to “touch” beauty and beers like this one will reveal themselves to you as you would have never expected before.

“Drink it right away or, if you can master the patience, keep it for the future to accompany your happiest moments on a beautiful sunny day.”

Giovanni Campari, Brewmaster Birrificio del Ducato.

Beer Collection

The next “DAYDREAM” beer... To follow Blueberry & Brett Peat - this time an Italian Barrel Aged Sour Ale made with Fresh Raspberries!

This beer has been directly fermentation in wooden barrel with a small addition of lactic acid bacteria. After cooling the wort was transferred directly into old used Italian wine barrels (from Piedmont, Sicily and Emilia Romagna). These are the same barrels that house the fermentation of Chrysopolis (Del Ducato’s Lambic) within which a distinct microflora has not been established.

The result of the barrel fermentation is an additional layer of complexity. The inoculation of

lactic acid bacteria was done after a few days, just when the fermentation was starting to go spontaneous.

The complex character due to the nature of the various microbial species involved (Brettanomyces in primis) goes far beyond what the only lactic acid bacteria could give. After 6 months, the beer was extracted from the cask to mature and put into a vat where they were added raspberries and green beer. These additions promote a second fermentation. After three months on the raspberries, the blend is ready.

During boil - he adds the hops suranne in flowers that were left to age in air for a few years (similar to lambic). After coolingthey transfer the wort directly into the barrel. Then he leaves the beer in old barrels that used to house Sicilian red wines (Nero d’Avola and Cabernet). The barrels are so old that the wine characteristics does not remain in the barrel but instead it is just the vehicle for spontaneous fermentation. The barrels are aged for at least 12 months before he starts to blend different barrels to create the final product.

Wild Fermented Italian Ale with Organic Lambrusco Red Grapes and the wort of Oud Brunello (Del Ducato’s Flemish Red).

Ingredients:

Beer wort (Oud Brunello)

Lambrusco organic red grapes

The grapes are squeezed and transferred into a steel vessel (open top), no yeasts are added. The next day fermentation of grapes starts and we brew Oud Brunello wort which is added to the fermenting grape must.

Fermentation lasts for 45 days without temperature control on grape skins, three times we recirculate the liquid from the bottom to the top where the grape skins are floating.

After 30 days we transfer the liquid to an isobaric tank and keep the beer at colder temperatures until all the sugars are fermented, we had a final gravity quite high (around 4.2 Plato) since we had a very slow fermentation, the same was reported to the “natural” winemaker who observed that last year Lambrusco grapes had few yeasts on the skins.

After 9 months the beer is bottled naturally carbonated and bottle conditioned with a small amount of priming sugar.

Torrente

Beer Collection

“Our Italian Journey”

From the historic city of Parma, Italy’s center of food, music and art, comes “Torrente”. Similar to the expression “Italian lifestyle” that cannot be explained in one word, “Torrente” cannot be pushed into one simple beer style. We simply call it “Birra Fragrante”.

It’s brewmaster and creator, Giovanni Campari, dreamed of flavors and aromas that bring to life Italy’s unique artisanal craftmanship in a most modern yet authentic interpretation.

“Torrente” / “Oltretorrente” is a term deeply associated with the city of Parma /Italy [Parma is divided into two parts by the river “Parma” ….the part on the far side of the river is called “Oltretorrente” ]

“Torrente’s alluring aroma draws you in with notes of ripe citrus, peach, tropical fruit and pine. The beer is soft on the palate and develops progressively with waves of overripe tropical fruit, citrus and pine. This culminates with a pleasantly dry and herbaceous bitterness.”

Beer Collection

The WeizenTea is an ‘ecumenical’ beer that unites three different continents through European malts, American hops and Chinese tea. Although the recipe includes both malted wheat and barley and a traditional bavarian weizen yeast strain, it’s an atypical weizen it’s use of American hops as well as a particularly herbal and refined Chinese green tea added at the end of the boil.

The WeizenTea is 4.5% alcohol by volume and is very drinkable and thirst-quenching. It’s initial aroma is that of a classic german hefeweizen (banana, cloves, etc), then come forward both herbal and citrus elements that denote a pleasant freshness. On the palate there are these same flavors as the aroma, but with a finish that is less dry and smoother than a classic weizen from the use of the green tea and more characteristic hops than the noble german varieties. The beer is yellow with a light green hue and gently opaque with a full and abundant head that is fine and persistent.

Brewery Description:

Almond22 is a small micro brewery on the green hills of Pescara in Abruzzo. The building hosting Almond 22 is from the late 19th century. In 1922 old women working here peeling almonds to produce the world wide famous confetti of Sulmona. This gave us the idea to name our brewery “Almond 22”. Furthermore bottle conditioned beer has an amazing and complex evolution as time passes. The spices and raw cane sugars came from the fair trade and are carefully selected. The honeys came from the green mountains and hills of our region. Pure spring water from the mountains near Farindola is used to brew.

Birreria Baladin Piozzo, Italy

Our search for the world’s most unique beers has brought us to Piozzo, right outside of Torino, Italy. In this village of 1,000 inhabitants, directly across from the town hall, lies Le Baladin, an extremely unusual brewpub and microbrewery. “Baladin” is a French term referring to a “traveling minstrel. ‚“ The owner, Teo Musso, thought that this would be a fitting name for his brewery as the townspeople are known for moving around, especially between Italy and France.

Upon visiting the brewery and meeting Teo, one finds that he is a very entertaining minstrel and has, thus, chosen the perfect name for his place.

Teo studied at some of the best small breweries throughout Europe in order to learn his craft. He has worked most closely with another eccentric B. United International supplier, Jean-Louis Dits of Brasserie a Vapeur. Like Jean-Louis, Teo loves experimentation and never works by the books.

Baladin Cider

A drink linked to the earth, to tradition and the quintessential biblical fruit, the fruit of sin…

A combination between the French-Belgian tradition and the typical apple juice of Piedmont, Baladin cider is the product of the spontaneous fermentation of apples.

Fresh and genuine, its color is clear and with a fine perlage.

It smells of flowers and spring meadows, and leaves a delicate and persistent taste. Excellent as an aperitif, ideal for informal meetings and romantic dates.

“The apples used are sweet varieties and sour in the same time. They are like “renetta” apple, cultivated in Piedmont and in Savoy. “Savoie” is in France, close to the Alps and half an hour drive from Turin. Savoy is the homeland of the ancient king of Piedmont-Sardinia.

Baladin cider is made with an apple variety dating back to the “Dukes of Savoy and King of Piedmont ages.”

Brewery Description:

Birrificio Del Ducato is one of Italy’s up-and-coming microbreweries.

Giovanni Campari, the brewmaster, is part of Italy’s second generation of Italian craft brewers. Like many in Italy, he started as a home-brewer. However, with a degree in Food Science and Technology, he was not starting from scratch. Before opening the brewery with a couple of friends, he worked at Birrificio Italiano, one of the older craft breweries. Campari says that the first generation of Italian brewers were inspired by Belgian and German traditions, whereas he and his peers, inspired mostly by their pioneering compatriots, are moving toward developing an Italian beer identity.

Beer Collection

“Neither snobby nor rude, neither submissive nor subservient, this beer’s character is unique. Balance, elegance and Brettanomyces’s rustic simplicity coexist beautifully. The yeast keeps refining with time making the beer more complex and round year after year.

“During adolescence, when I used to spend my afternoons in pubs with friends, Orval was one of the beers that struck me the most. Unique to its kind, it stands out for its freshness, dryness and simplicity. Complex aromas of leather, cellar, salami skin, cheese ends and rust make its character mysterious. Bottle aging enhances further its complexity by making it more and more charming. Added before bottling, Brettanomyces wild yeast is the secret behind this marvelous beer. Knowing about this practice through Orval, I took up the challenge of making my own. I decided to brew a standard Saison by using a very simple recipe (Pilsner malt, Poperinge hops and Belgian yeast).Then I re-fermented it by adding a single strain of Brettanomyces before bottling.

“Months of aging made this beer’s end result go way beyond my greatest expectations. At

Villaggio della Birra Festival or at Boreft Beer Festival (September 2012) although still young, it was already incredible for its freshness, multi-faceted flavors and balance. Drinking it after seven months of bottle fermentation was a multi-sensory experience. Brettanomyces conveyed it greater dryness, complexity and elegance. Just like a butterfly emerges from its chrysa lis so this beer undergoes a transmutation that with time makes it a completely new beer.

“Thus no visible thing perishes completely as Nature recreates from one thing to the next and never lets one be born without another dying” as the lustrous Latin poet Lucretius writes in his De Rerum Natura. This is the only quote showing on the label because nothing else needs to be said or explained. We only ought to take it in and reflect. We can’t always understand everything as truth cannot be grasped. “The modern western man is obsessed in his rational attempt to possess truth and to enclose the entire universe within categories. In my opinion, neither the unknown can be grasped nor can beauty be captured. Beauty, that part of the unknown alive within us all, can only be perceived during rare moments of ecstasy. If you are sensitive enough, if you listen deeply and open your mind then you may be fortunate enough to “touch” beauty and beers like this one will reveal themselves to you as you would have never expected before.

“Drink it right away or, if you can master the patience, keep it for the future to accompany your happiest moments on a beautiful sunny day.”

The next “DAYDREAM” beer... To follow Blueberry & Brett Peat - this time an Italian Barrel Aged Sour Ale made with Fresh Raspberries!

This beer has been directly fermentation in wooden barrel with a small addition of lactic acid bacteria. After cooling the wort was transferred directly into old used Italian wine barrels (from Piedmont, Sicily and Emilia Romagna). These are the same barrels that house the fermentation of Chrysopolis (Del Ducato’s Lambic) within which a distinct microflora has not been established.

The result of the barrel fermentation is an additional layer of complexity. The inoculation of

lactic acid bacteria was done after a few days, just when the fermentation was starting to go spontaneous.

The complex character due to the nature of the various microbial species involved (Brettanomyces in primis) goes far beyond what the only lactic acid bacteria could give. After 6 months, the beer was extracted from the cask to mature and put into a vat where they were added raspberries and green beer. These additions promote a second fermentation. After three months on the raspberries, the blend is ready.

Then he leaves the beer in old barrels that used to house Sicilian red wines (Nero d’Avola and Cabernet). The barrels are so old that the wine characteristics does not remain in the barrel but instead it is just the vehicle for spontaneous fermentation. The barrels are aged for at least 12 months before he starts to blend different barrels to create the final product.

Fermentation lasts for 45 days without temperature control on grape skins, three times we recirculate the liquid from the bottom to the top where the grape skins are floating.

After 30 days we transfer the liquid to an isobaric tank and keep the beer at colder temperatures until all the sugars are fermented, we had a final gravity quite high (around 4.2 Plato) since we had a very slow fermentation, the same was reported to the “natural” winemaker who observed that last year Lambrusco grapes had few yeasts on the skins.

After 9 months the beer is bottled naturally carbonated and bottle conditioned with a small amount of priming sugar.

Torrente

Beer Collection

“Our Italian Journey”

From the historic city of Parma, Italy’s center of food, music and art, comes “Torrente”. Similar to the expression “Italian lifestyle” that cannot be explained in one word, “Torrente” cannot be pushed into one simple beer style. We simply call it “Birra Fragrante”.

It’s brewmaster and creator, Giovanni Campari, dreamed of flavors and aromas that bring to life Italy’s unique artisanal craftmanship in a most modern yet authentic interpretation.

“Torrente” / “Oltretorrente” is a term deeply associated with the city of Parma /Italy [Parma is divided into two parts by the river “Parma” ….the part on the far side of the river is called “Oltretorrente” ]

“Torrente’s alluring aroma draws you in with notes of ripe citrus, peach, tropical fruit and pine. The beer is soft on the palate and develops progressively with waves of overripe tropical fruit, citrus and pine. This culminates with a pleasantly dry and herbaceous bitterness.”

WeizenTea

Beer Collection

The WeizenTea is an ‘ecumenical’ beer that unites three different continents through European malts, American hops and Chinese tea. Although the recipe includes both malted wheat and barley and a traditional bavarian weizen yeast strain, it’s an atypical weizen it’s use of American hops as well as a particularly herbal and refined Chinese green tea added at the end of the boil.

The WeizenTea is 4.5% alcohol by volume and is very drinkable and thirst-quenching. It’s initial aroma is that of a classic german hefeweizen (banana, cloves, etc), then come forward both herbal and citrus elements that denote a pleasant freshness. On the palate there are these same flavors as the aroma, but with a finish that is less dry and smoother than a classic weizen from the use of the green tea and more characteristic hops than the noble german varieties. The beer is yellow with a light green hue and gently opaque with a full and abundant head that is fine and persistent.

Via Dietro le mura 36/38, Spoltore - Pescara, cap. 65010, Italy

Brewery Description:

Almond22 is a small micro brewery on the green hills of Pescara in Abruzzo. The building hosting Almond 22 is from the late 19th century. In 1922 old women working here peeling almonds to produce the world wide famous confetti of Sulmona. This gave us the idea to name our brewery “Almond 22”. Furthermore bottle conditioned beer has an amazing and complex evolution as time passes. The spices and raw cane sugars came from the fair trade and are carefully selected. The honeys came from the green mountains and hills of our region. Pure spring water from the mountains near Farindola is used to brew.

Straff

Beer Collection

Top-fermented ale, unpasteurized, bottle-conditioned STRAFF has a misleading innocent appearance, beautiful and golden with a white creamy head. The nose of fresh fruit, apricot and melon, Mirabelle brandy and a slight earthy note reminiscent of the style.

The initial soft palate is immediately damped by a bone-dry cutting, caused by the virtual absence of residual sugar, and a balanced bitterness.

Idromele “Nettare di Bacco”

Mead Collection

Hydromel is considered as the oldest alcoholic liquor all over the world.

3000 years ago the Mayas used almost all their honey to product this liquor, which was drunk by the richest social classes of this civilization. It was produced by the Egyptians, too, and then by the Greeks and Romans. In Greek mythology it is considered as “the drink of the Gods”.

Nettare di Bacco is our Hydromel

For its production we must dissolve a required amount of select honeys in water and then the fermentation has to take place in steel vessels. When all the honey sugar are changed into alcohol.

(14,5 degrees), the drink is put into special oaken casks at least for one years. After the bottling, too, our hydromel keeps on growing rich of other flavours, which exalt its taste.

Nettare di Bacco has been often offered during tastings and taste-workrooms regarding either some honey products or other esteemed ones. There it has been often appreciated very much by famous sommelier, who have considered it as the perfect drink to have as with milk or fondant chocolate as with all the chocolate products which are difficultly linked with any more drink.

Nettare di Bacco can be happily consumed with “Pecorino” cheese, too, as well as with Parmigiano and Grana cheese, especially covered with some honey, possibly of the Mediterranean Heather honey.
