A Year of Beer 2010 #16 - Birra Del Borgo Castagnale

Top review Zak, totally agree with you on the night drawing in, I always think that Real Ale's / Craft beers taste better this time of year because you havent got to artificially cool them, my beer cuboard is on the back wall of my house in the kitchen and they always seem to hit optimum temperature there, and for that reason taste better, Cheers Zak

Sounds wonderful. This'll be top of my list to try at the Wetherspoon festival.

We get their beers here in San Francisco as well. The price is very steep though, especially for me. One day I'll be able to purchase them.

It's really cool that they're influenced by both British and American beers. And I'm glad that Italy's having more of a beer scene now instead of only wine and grapa.

@locirea yes, he's a very nice guy, no question. And more importantly, great beers too!

You should just call this show, "Zak drinks good beer"  or "Beers and beards" (oh wait someone already has that name)

cool t-shirt. Is that the real thing or is it a re-make?

Never had any Italian beers. They're known for their wines.

The shirt is repro.

The Italian beer scene is off the hook. It's not quite California, but there are some great beers being brewed.

Avery, do you think it would go well with Spaghetti Bolognese and GARLIC BREAD??!! GARLIC BREAD!

[ZakAvery]

@nige4958 Ah, classic, tradtional Italian foods! But yeah, it would go OK with a ragout, but at 4%abv, you might as well just drink it.
