THE BRUTON STORY
Presented by:  Iacopo Lenci, Birrificio Bruton
Sponsored by:  Birrificio Bruton

Sample Brùton Beers!

Iacopo Lenci got his start in beer making as a home brewer. But unlike most home brewers, Lenci went pro and is now introducing his Lucca, Italy-made Birrificio Brùton beer to North America. Founded in 2006, the brewery is carving its own craft beer tradition, with some definite influences from Belgium, and creating brews that are beautifully balanced and easy to drink. Brùton’s beers are unpasteurized, unfiltered and undergo secondary fermentation in the bottle that results in somewhat cloudy– opalescent even–beers that have complex aromas and hearty foam heads.

3:00-3:30
COOKING WITH BEER
Presented by: Michael Battaglia, Market Manager for the Malted Beverage Portfolio, Total Beverage Solution

This program focuses on the fundamental relationship between food and beer and how they can be married in a variety of ways. Through a live cooking demo you will learn how to cook with beer as you watch the guest chef prepare a variety of beer infused recipes. Come early, seating is limited.
