Bergamo
Beer
Birreria Blues [brewpub], via XXV Aprile 10, Cividate al Piano,
Bergamo, 0363 97310, www.bluespub.com,
open 20:30, closed Mon & Tue, 4 beers,
Small place for local people in a nice old building, in a
small village; passionate and talkative brewmaster; excellent malt
job; my
suggestion is that he should work more on the hop profile:
Maivisto [brewpub], via Maivista 3, 24010 Sedrina, Bergamo, 035
636223, open 9:00, closed Mon, 4 beers.
Another place known only by local people, with some live
shows; German brewmaster; he also brews for the Palabrauhaus (Palazzolo
sull'Oglio, Brescia) and a pub in Perugia; personally I think he's rather poor... The beers are quite
sweet, as commonly happens in Bergamo:
Osteria del Santo Bevitore [brewpub], via Manzoni 1, 24030 Medolago,
Bergamo, 035 4948831, open 12:00-14:00 19:00-22:00.
Will
close and maybe move in September 2004, I heard that they brew using malt
extracts :-(
Osteria del Bastardú / Last Out [brewpub], via Cologno 22, 24053
Brignano Gera d'Adda, Bergamo, 0363 814053, www.lastout.com,
open 19:00-01:00, closed Mon, 2 beers
Quite big place with dnace music, very young audience; the Czech brewmasters (father and son) use malt extracts
for their beers, and they are effectively poor...; they also serve a simple
selection of German beers and Guinness:
Iron Twins [brewpub], closed!
