After posting some photos on Facebook, I was fortunate that Ian (the one that’s important in CAMRA) noticed my post and commented that there was a craft beer bar in Venice. I had managed to miss this, so I embarked on a thirty minute walk to find it.
Now, this looks rather lovely, a joy to behold in Italy.
I had just eaten pizza, but they had some snacks available here.
It wasn’t that big a venue, but it seemed easy to just sit at the bar. The service was friendly and personable, so the environment felt welcoming. There was a variety of Italian and international beers, with a range of styles covered and a strong presence of Belgian beers.
My first beer was the Mary Hoppins from Il Santo Bevitore, an Italian brewer. It was a decent beer, being hazy, hoppy, floral and quite fluffy.
My second beer was Sour #1 from Evoqe Brewing and it’s a delight to see an Italian sour. Punchy lemon was the main element, but there was other fruitiness going on there. It was balanced and like a decadent Hooch, as if Hooch isn’t decadent enough….
This bar is certainly one that deserves to be supported, it’s on-trend, modern, welcoming and has a well curated selection of different beers available. The prices were moderate and there was food for those who needed some snacks whilst working through the beer options.
