WHEN BEER MEETS CHEESE

A journey to discover the meeting of two outstanding products from the Biella area: Menabrea beer, brewed by the oldest active brewery in Italy, and the renowned cheeses crafted by Botalla.

During the workshop, participants will be guided through a tasting experience exploring the pairings between Menabrea beers and a selection of local cheeses, in a journey designed to highlight the unique characteristics of each product.

The proposed pairings are:

  • Menabrea Weiss paired with Italo Botalla Cheese
  • Menabrea Amber Ale paired with Botalla Sbirro Cheese
  • Menabrea Red Ale paired with Botalla Kaprone Cheese

Founded in 1846 in Biella, at the foot of the Alps, Birra Menabrea is one of the most iconic names in Italian brewing tradition. For 180 years, the brewery has continued to produce its beers in its historic city-centre facility, combining respect for the original recipe with a constant commitment to quality.

The pure waters of the Biella Alps, carefully selected ingredients and the expertise of its Master Brewers are the elements that define a production capable of preserving authenticity and distinctive character over time.

An experience dedicated to beer and cheese lovers, offering the opportunity to discover how aromas, intensity and organoleptic characteristics come together in surprising and harmonious pairings.
