Birrificio Corzano 1985


With pride, Walter Lenzi explained to me that "Corzano 1985" is a farmhouse brewery in the Mugello, and that part of the barley used for brewing is grown on the farm itself. The story behind the brewery project is a recent one, born in December 2014, but Walter told me that his passion for beer is something that developed over the years, starting from his first homebrewing experiments until it took shape and became a reality, an adventure to share with his friend Marco. The brewery has a fine thousand-litre plant and has developed four beautiful, colourful labels: the Corzanina, named after a breed of hen, a pale beer inspired by Belgian Saisons; the Limousine, named after a breed of cattle originally from France, an amber beer inspired by IPA (Indian Pale Ale); the Bobo, a porter; and the San Isidro, named after the patron saint of the countryside, a dubbel. All are worth trying, in a crescendo of sensations ranging from vegetal to citrus notes, right through to liquorice. In the brewery you can breathe a genuine air, typical of the Mugello, where producers express their attachment to their land through the pleasure of still working hands-on, ensuring the control and guarantee of a quality product.
