Those who read this blog often (or at least as often as I post :P) will realize that I have posted Birra Moretti before, but not these two.
For those who don't check it that often, it's always good to remember... Birra Moretti is an Italian brewery founded in Udine in 1859, by Luigi Moretti, bought by Heineken in 1996.
While the pilsner version is commonly sold worldwide, these two 330ml bottles here presented are a little bit harder to find out of Italy. "Baffo D'Oro" (italian for "Golden Mustache") is the premium version of the regular lager, containing 4,8% alcohol and selected ingredients. "La Rossa" (or "The Red") is their red beer, with 7,2% alcohol and a very strong and characteristic taste.
These bottles were gifted to me by Lorenzo Toffoletti, brought directly from Italy by his parents, Antonella e Romano Toffoletti in june 2010, when we used to share an apartment in Augsburg.
Anyone who thinks Italy doesn't have a beer culture should try La Rossa and think a second time ;)
