As I was still surprised and delighted by the number of craft beer locations in Genoa, I decided to visit Scurreria Beer and Bagel. I timed my visit well as it was packed by the time I left, which was still early evening.
Staff welcome customers at the door and then seat them, with a QR code on the table giving access to the drinks and food menu. The beers are ever changing, hence why providing a printed menu would be challenging. Table service is then offered and I found the whole arrangement well managed and organised. It all had a vibrant and personal charm, this isn’t a large venue by any means.
The online reviews are very positive for this venue and it felt like mostly locals rather than tourists. That certainly bodes well for the future of craft beer and hopefully more similar venues to this will open up.
For the second time in one day I accidentally ordered a burger, but I don’t mind a bit of duplication. This one was the spicy beef burger and the meat was juicy with the spicy mayo adding flavour, along with the rather lovely caramelised onions.
The beer is the Heavy Punch from the Bonavena Brewing Company, a punchy, hoppy and citrusy beer which was rounded and complemented the burger nicely.
I found the venue friendly, welcoming and the beer range was nicely curated with a selection of different styles. The prices were reasonable and the background music was at an appropriate level for the day. The food menu is primarily bagels and burgers, although there are some other options to surprise and delight customers. All really rather lovely.
