Great!

I had Loverbeer Beerbera last weekend and I'm not sure whether I liked it or not! It really confused my taste buds. <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->

Would like to try it, and similar, again.

Will you be posting a beer list here as well as brewery list?

Hi Liam,
The beerbera is great in bottle, lots of carbonation, like a kind of red grape prosecco, it's a little more demanding on tap, it really is more of a wine than a beer, plus they intentionally under-carbonate it in the keykegs for fear of explosions and the like...

The brewery list is as follows:

Loverbeer
Almond 22
Barley
Extraomnes
Foglie d'Erba
Montegioco

I've also spoken to Italiacatessen who are the importers for Birrificio del Ducato, they are open to the idea of asking them also, but I'm not sure if we'll go ahead with that, the square is quite small and six breweries, plus food stands and music would leave not so much room for the public already.
I'm in discussion with them all at the moment about which beers are available for the festival, but there should be at least three being presented by each brewery.
The way it looks at the moment is that each will have at least one special and/or limited edition beer on show alongside their more basic beers. Except for Loverbeer, as he only makes "special beers and extra special beers".

Ah! That might explain it. It was on keg and was completely flat, and we were told it would or should be. A prosecco-like carbonation would have made a difference I think. Thanks for the info!

EDIT: We didn't have it in Enoteca delle Langhe! Just saw on another post that it was there recently.
