It's time for craft beer tasting!
Need inspiration for an offbeat meal with friends?
Let's have a craft beer tasting at Batzen Bräu Brewery!
I went there for lunch with some friends last week: we had fun tasting together and comparing our points of view.
The brewery is located in Bolzano Downtown and includes a Biergarten and an inn. It is possible to book guided tours. The actual building has been renovated in 2012 by restoring the 600-years-old historic tavern Ca' De Bezzi.
Did you know? The current appellation owes its name to the ancient cost of a glass of wine: one Batzen (4 pence).
The beer sampler consists of 6 beer qualities and a thorough booklet that helps you out with the tasting.
You may choose between the classics, like the Vienna Lager and the Wheat German Weizen, and the special editions, like the Whiskey Porter and the Lemon Verbena flavoured beer.
Batzen Bräu beers hold the South Tyrol seal of quality, in other words the certification for special attention to the quality and origins of the raw materials, the freshness and the distinctive taste.
My suggestion:
order different dishes from the well-stocked menu and try out your favourite food and beer pairing!
What's your favoured?
