If you love the taste of craft beer, in its many facets, do not miss this advice for the city of Brescia. The Xander Brewpub is a place where you can taste beer directly produced on site.
I grew up between hills of Lake Garda about twenty kilometers from the city of Brescia, an area fairly famous for the production of wine. In our small way, even my family long ago dabbled in wine production. Times have changed and today the province of Brescia is not only synonymous with wine production but is also starting to make a name for itself in the brewing world for the production of homemade beers, let me also say of a certain level. Brescia is in fact becoming an important reference in this very creative matter, that of raw beer, which can be declined in hundreds of different flavors!
In the post, we will let you discover a particular place to keep an eye on in the city.
Brescia craft beer
In the last decade I started to approach the world of craft beer, initially for fun, with somewhat clumsy attempts of small production, passing through the various trade fairs, stumbling from time to time in tasting courses. Eventually it broke into my heart and I fell in love with it. Craft beer is a real passion, the commitment and popularity that revolves around this drink has meant that it went beyond tables in pubs and taverns, landing in the prestigious slow food salons.
Craft beer is a drink capable of socializing even the most skeptical. Just during a tasting course, I met several small artisan producers in Brescia and one in particular is now part of my typical evening with friends, lo Xander.
