My husband and I are beer lovers. Naturally, when we moved to Italy from Charlotte a few months…read moreago, we were really worried about leaving behind all the wonderful craft breweries in North Carolina. So, you can only imagine our pure joy when we discovered Birrone just a few minutes from our new home in Caldogno! They have an extensive offering (8+ beers on draught and even more in the bottle) with something for everyone. I.E. they had an IPA for my hop-head husband and every other style for me. My favorite was the wheat beer, Cibus. Described as "pane liquido" (liquid bread) on the bottle, it was one of the best beers I've had in a while! And, I'm not just saying that because it's hard to find good beer in Italy. Their Cibus could easily hold its own in the US beer scene. The tap room doubles as a restaurant with lots of tasty Italian versions of bar food. On our first visit, we ordered the Tagliere Misto XL, a cutting board that came heaped with piles of porchetta, prosciutto, speck and cheese. Way too much food for 2-people but it was only €10 so we couldn't resist!

What an awesome find! It doesn't hurt that it is 10 minutes from my wife and I in caldogno. This…read moreplace is perfect if you are looking for a beer and food combo not found too often here in Italy. The tagliere board, meat board, is an incredible value and includes three killer meats for about 10€, unbeatable. The fries are solid as well. They have hoppy beer selections which is not too common in the area. I had a double India Pale Lager and another single IPL. They were both very heavy on the bready malt and had strong hop bitterness with a little boozyness as well. Solid, extra points for willingness to make a high hop beer. Their star was the wheat beer my wife had. It was incredible and since we are only a couple hours from Germany, not a huge surprise their wheat beer was really good. I like this place, it is unique for this area and reminds me of a place you would find in North Carolina.

We sat down and the host came over immediately to tell us to get up, because every table was reserved. Meanwhile I counted at least eight of them sitting empty. We ended up standing in a tight little area next to the restrooms. The beer was no better. The taps clearly aren't maintained. It took three glasses of foam before anything resembling an actual pour came out, and what we finally got was flat. The service somehow got worse from there. The host and the bartenders gave their full attention to the two occupied tables and completely ignored everyone standing with a drink in hand. Not a check in, not a "can I get you anything else," nothing. We were there twenty minutes and not one of those reserved tables ever filled up. Here's the part that should bother the owner: we would have ordered another round. So would the group of four who got the same speech about not sitting down and left instead. That's two tables of revenue out the door in under half an hour, in an empty bar, to protect reservations that never showed. If the plan is table service and a reservation book, fine, but then don't call yourself a pub. People come to a pub to sit down and drink a beer that isn't flat.

So, we stopped by Mamma Puglia's for a drink to wait it out. They had some outdoor seating under an awning. The staff were nice and the prices were reasonable.

My husband says their IPAs are some of the best he's ever had and I'm a big fan of their lagers, stouts, and sours. They have collaborated with some great Stateside breweries like Other Half and Cigar City. So, those are especially fun beers to try. We love their outdoor beer garden (there is some indoor seating as well) -- lots of seating, dog friendly, foosball table. The atmosphere reminds me a lot of Austin, TX breweries. Parking is easy and plentiful. Not always the case in Italy! They also have a small food counter that serves delicious "brico," bread topped with all sorts of local ingredients such as squash blossoms, 'nduja, sausage, salami, peppers, and more! Be sure to check out their offerings when you visit and order one or two. They are not to be missed!
