Just as a slightly random post, I had a little meander around one of the Carrefour Express supermarkets in the centre of Genoa. And meander is the appropriate word, they struggle for space and so the selection was wrapped around inside looking more like a miniature Ikea, there’s no Tesco Express blandness here.
Anyway, here’s the beer range which felt reasonable for a little city centre shop as there’s quite a broad selection of styles. There are some strong beers and in the top right of the photo below, a couple of slightly more decadent beers from the Mastri Birrai Umbri brewery in Perugia. That the first Italian city that I visited and that was over fifteen years ago, so I must pop back there.
The prices didn’t seem bad either.
Alongside the Nutella, strawberry yoghurt and liquer chocolates, I went for the Raffo Lavorazione Grezza. It’s quite a malty lager and I must admit that I didn’t hate it, especially at the low price that they were charging.
