Why You Should Get to Know Italian Beer (and 9 Must-Try Bottles)

Publisher:
Serious Eats

Date Published:
03/18/2015

Description / Excerpt:
"When you picture Italy, it's likely you're envisioning tender strands of pasta and intensely-flavored vegetables, plates of luscious cured meat, and glasses full of wine: all products of the country's unique soil, climate, and culture. But these days, you'd be missing an element that's recently been electrifying Italy's food scene: craft beer.

"What Italy may lack in brewing history, it makes up for with impressive creativity. Today's Italian brewers have very few preconceived notions, and they face few laws or restrictions about how or what to brew. While influenced by the great beers of Belgium, Germany, and the U.S, beer from Italy stands out right now as something distinctly Italian..."

Birra Italiana: San Francisco's infatuation with new Italian beers

Publisher:
Tasting Table San Francisco

Date Published:
12/15/2010

Description / Excerpt:
"Step aside, Belgium.
San Francisco's beer geeks have found a new obsession from an unlikely country: Italy.
Italian beer has long been an afterthought--a large bottle of Peroni cracked open to wash down a pizza at a Roman-style trattoria.
But thanks to a new generation of Italian brewmasters, many of whom were inspired by Teo Musso's trailblazing work at Le Baladin brewery in Piedmont, there is an ever-growing variety of distinctive Italian beers from which to choose. Lucky for us, local beverage directors are catching the refreshing wave..."

Publisher:
Beer Chronicles

Date Published:
06/11/2010

Description / Excerpt:
"Yesterday afternoon in Rome the 2011 Italian beer Guide by Slow Food was officially presented. As you may know, this is one of the most important issue on Italian craft beer, which offers a detailed survey on Italian brewers and their beers, with descriptions, specifications and evaluations. The event was hosted by Vinòforum, a long standing Capitoline wine event. Certainly not a “friendly environment”, but this suggests the important status achieved by beer among wine lovers..."

New Line of Italian Beers Has Unusual Cachet

Publisher:
Ale Street News

Date Published:
05/28/2009

Description / Excerpt:
"Like Italian craft beers in general, the beers of Pausa Café have a strong connection with the Slow Food movement. Beginning with the commodities of coffee and chocolate, Pausa Café (Coffee Break in English), began as a sociological cooperative project working on two levels. It was founded with the central mission to demonstrate that it was possible to take the problem of coffee (very impoverished producers, treated with unjust international trade practices, often making less than the cost of production beans) and the problem of prison inmates (who may have certain skills but can’t get a job or any assistance after being released from the prisons, thus being forced to return to crime in order to survive) and work towards some solutions to these two issues under the same roof."
