MENABREA




MBIRRA BIONDA

This is a truly fantastic Italian lager, purchased from Morrisons. It's light, crispy and flavoursome. Typical Italian beer just that bit nicer than the rest. I will definitely be seeing more of this Italian beauty!

Country of Origin: Italy
Brewed in: Biella, Italy. 
ABV: 4.8%
9.1 MWB points - “Molto Buona!”

Lager (BIONDA)
Menabrea is matured gently in the perfect temperature of our cave cellars for a taste of superior clarity. This 4.8% ABV pale lager is well balanced between citrus, bitter tones and floral, fruity undertones giving a consistent and refined flavour. It has a complicated malty, hoppy taste with an exceptional head retention due to the quality of our ingredients and maturation process.



History
In 1846, Giuseppe Menabrea travelled to the town of Biella, in the foothills of the Italian Alps. There he discovered an underground cave system, ideal for the traditional process of 'lagering'. Combined with the incredibly pure water and cold fresh air of the region, it was the perfect location to build a brewery.




“IN THE STYLISH BARS OF MILAN AND TURIN, ASK FOR A BIRRA AND THEY WOULD ONLY EVER SERVE YOU A MENABREA BECAUSE IT’S THE NATURAL CHOICE FOR DISCERNING BAR OWNERS AND CUSTOMERS.
