Hoppy Cat

Cats and hops. Well, you can thank Grateful Deaf and Birra del Borgo for this CDA….

“With roasted malts and a special American hops, the HoppyCat is an IPA from Dark coffee color, with brown tones. The nose is an intriguing fusion of citrus and toasty notes from the hops used since dall’ammostamento. The taste leaves aghast! The intense hoppy and resinous notes, typical of American hops you use, be merged with the fragrant nuances of roasted. Surprisingly easy to drink, with a soft, slender body and alcoholic content of 5.8% and a unit of 55 IBUs of bitterness.”

And look out for more Grateful Deaf collaborations in the future.

East meets West meets Italy

“This may well be the craziest and amazing brewery in the world” – Leonardo Di Vincenzo, Brewmaster, Birra del Borgo

Truer words may never have been spoken. Four breweries collaborating on one project! Two Italian craft brewers – Teo Musso, Brewmaster of Birrificio Le Baladan and Leonardo Di Vincenzo of Birra del Borgo, and two Italian-American craft brewers – Sam Calagione of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery and Vinnie Cilurzo of the Russian River Brewing.

The first beer will be an English Mild with a dash of chestnut.
