The four-star Slow Food Italy Beer Guide winner from Italy's most purposeful social brewery — Vecchia Orsa's Belgian amber is a warm, malty Dubbel-inspired ale brewed by the cooperative in San Giovanni in Persiceto. Dark fruit, caramel, dried fig and a gentle spice from Belgian yeast; a full, smooth body and a clean, dry finish. Four Slow Food stars validate what the Bologna craft scene has long known: Vecchia Orsa brews as well as any dedicated craft house.
