In each you taste their beers with the guide of an expert who explains the characteristics of each product and the method they use to produce it.
Very interesting is the visit of the brewery in Saracena, the first in Calabria which produces a kind of beer fermented in barrels previously used for barricaded wine: in this way the beer takes a particular flavor thanks to the wood of the barrels which has still the wine flavor.
