Full description
"Give drink to the thirsty! ". And at Faustino's - against the great thirst, they don't make themselves repeat it twice.
Come and discover the magnificent world of Belgian beers in Bienno, in this pub born from the founder's passion for Belgium, where you will live an experience that combines the flavour of Flanders with the gastronomic tradition of the Camonica Valley.
A tasting where you will taste 4 beers of your choice accompanied by a rich platter of local specialities!
What we will do
The appointment is at the selected time at the brewery in Bienno (BS), in the setting of one of Italy's most beautiful villages.
We will be welcomed by the staff , who will introduce us to the history of the brewery, whose name is based on a curious Belgian tradition and an ironic translation of a typical Flanders bar. Faustino - Contro la Grande Sete was in fact created in the historic centre of the village to tell the story of Belgian brasserie culture and will transport us directly into the atmosphere of Belgium's historic pubs.
It will then be tasting time with an actual tasting : we will be able to choose four Belgian beers according to our personal taste from the more than 200 labels available. To enhance the flavours, each sip will be accompanied by a platter of typical products from Valtellina, such as formaggella from Schilpario and Silter from Borno, together with a mix of cured meats from Valle Camonica.
The tasting will last about two hours in total , but at the end we will be free to stay at the table to continue the evening.
