Well I am off for another business trip to Milan, but while I am there I may let my beery sense take me on walkabout. It is funny to think of Milan being a growing sector for the craft beer movement, but it just may be. Italy has quickly been gaining forward momentum in developing a niche beer market with a fair number of "Gypsie" brewers popping up. Take a look at this article from 2 years ago (via NYtimes) and look closely. This Italian Beer rennaissance has been leaping forward for some time now, with people like Baladin leading the way. The beers are often leaning towards the Belgian side of things and almost always nudged towards pairing with Italian cuisine. What did Emperor Juliane say..." I know Bacchus, the god of wine, for he smells of nectar; but all I know of the god of beer is that he smells of billy goat". Well Italian minds may be changing with regard to the craft beer scene. I will do my best to report back to you on what treasures and stories I find.
Ciao for now,
Stefan
