Beers
Spiced
The addition of spices is indissolubly linked to the history of beer, since its very beginnings. Baladin pays homage to this tradition with three beers - now considered classics - made with unusual cereals and unique, elegant and refined mixes of spices
This is how we make... WITBIER (BLANCHE). A hay-yellow blanche, with a slightly hazy and cloudy appearance and a moderate, fine head. The scents are pleasantly citrusy and subtle aromas of spices gradually intensify as the beer becomes warmer. When sipped, it releases a beautiful harmony of cereals and citrus fruits, which mix and blend creating a delicate flowery and spicy balance. The finish is slightly herbaceous and leaves a faint, yet tantalizing peppery note in the mouth. Ingredients: Water, barley malt, wheat malt, wheat, mix of spices and citrus zest in variable proportions, hops, sugar, yeast. Pairings: Delicate cooked fish, maybe with a touch of spices, white meat, soft cheese, mozzarella.

This is how we make... SAISON. This deep yellow, slightly hazy saison has a fine, persistent head with a beautiful light cream color. The very complex scents immediately evoke flower fields and make you gently land on a sea of thyme and rosemary. As soon as the beer warms up, the vegetal scents evolve into a wonderful floral bouquet, which finishes with clear notes of ground pepper. When sipped, it releases an allegory of tastes: from sweet malt to citrusy flavors and brighter notes of spices and fresh pepper, which make you want to take a second, pleasant sip, and a third, and a fourth.

Hoppy
The use of hops is certainly very old in the history of beer production. The hop plant is an endemic species in most of Europe, so it is easy to imagine that it was largely used by the very first beer brewers. Three beers with deeply different stories pay homage to this vine

Its delicate scents are a perfect example of balance between the fruity, herbaceous and malty components, and give it a light aroma that invites you to drink.

Hops, citrusy and fruity notes stand out in the scent, and are well balanced by notes of biscuits and caramel. When sipped, the moderate bitterness is accompanied by hints of nuts - especially almonds - and soon vanishes into tastes of caramel and biscuits which create a good body and a pleasant balance. Ingredients: Water, barley malt, hops, mixture of spice and citrus peel, sugar, yeast. Pairings: Meat, medium-aged cheese, nuts, cream and fruit desserts. Baladin is partner of the guide "I Formaggi d'Italia" (Cheese of Italy) published by "Le Guide de l'Espresso". You are going to find for each of 91 reviewed cheese a pairing with our beer.

This is how we make... WITBIER. Open White is a deep yellow beer with a white, fine and persistent head and good lacing. At first, the scents are dominated by the aromas of cereals which, however, are almost immediately replaced by vegetal notes of green coffee, or a freshly peeled branch. As the temperature increases, hints of spices begin to emerge. Again, the first taste to appear is that of cereals, accompanied by subtle citrusy notes balanced by a delicate bitterness that is reminiscent of the white part of citrus fruit peels, and a touch of spices. Finally, notes of yellow fruit and a slight peppery note refresh the mouth. Ingredients; Water, barley malt, wheat malt, wheat, hops, mixture of spices and citrus peel, sugar, yeast. Pairings: Raw and grilled fish, white meat, light fried food, fresh and medium-aged cow's milk cheese, mozzarella.

This is how we make... AMERICAN PALE ALE. With a deep yellow-orange color, Open Gold has a fine and thick, very persistent head. Notes of malt reach the nose and evoke the aromas of biscuits, yellow ripe fruit, with a light touch of spices and citrus fruit. The taste confirms the scents: the notes of biscuit perfectly blend with the spices and the bitterness that stays in the mouth until the end of the sip. Ingredients: Water, barley malt, hops, spices, sugar, yeast. Pairings: Simple pizzas or focaccia, fried appetizers (French fries, onion rings, etc.), burgers, hot dogs, medium-aged cheese, dry pastries.

Cans
Think outside the box. This is Baladin's mission and it has become tangible with the creation of POP - Popular Beer - the first Italian craft beer in a can
This is how we make... AMERICAN PALE ALE. Light-colored beer with golden yellow hues and a fine and persistent head. Scents of hops and citrus fruit are immediately felt, with subtle notes of fruit and cereals in the finish.

Gluten-Free
Making a gluten-free beer with a good body, aroma and taste. This was our goal. And now it is our pride: the many positive comments we have received confirm that the gluten-free version of Nazionale, the first 100% Italian craft beer, is just as good as the original
This is how we make... BLONDE ALE. Even in its gluten-free version, Nazionale Gluten Free has a deep yellow color, with a very subtle hazy appearance and a white, fine, persistent head. The scents, too, are equally delicate. We find the same balance between the fruity, herbaceous and malty components and an unchanged lightness. Only when sipped, Nazionale Gluten Free shows a few minor differences in the interplay between individual tastes, due to the addition of rice - used to reduce the gluten component - which adds a dry note to the chamomile. The result is a fine balance with the moderate bitterness of Italian hops, harvested in our own fields and grown directly by Birrificio Baladin. A clean beer that is easy to drink and will satisfy those who want to drink well. Ingredients: Water, malt of barley from our fields, Carnaroli rice by Cascina Belvedere, Italian hops, mix of spices and citrus zest in variable proportions, sugar, yeast.

Draft Beers
This is how we make... INDIA PALE ALE (IPA) ALL'ITALIANA. A beer with a nice bright amber color and a white head. Distinct citrusy notes of tangerine are complemented by notes of melon and mango.

The taste is elegant and well balanced, with a citrusy touch, a persistent and pleasantly acidic finish. It is excellent on its own or at the end of a meal... And mixed in a cocktail! Reinterpreting tradition through beer. Beermouth is an innovative product and, at the same time, it is strongly inspired by tradition. It results from the combination between a beer with a strong personality and structure and a mix of very carefully selected (and very secret) spices and herbs, extracted using the most advanced techniques. It is the creation of Teo Musso's vision in beer-making and of Dennis Zoppi and Giacomo Donadio's experimentation.

Cider
Baladin's history is characterized by the constant search for taste in all its shapes and forms, even if they don't belong to the brewing tradition. One example? Our cider!
OUR CIDER. A drink linked to the earth, to tradition and the quintessential biblical fruit, the fruit of sin… A link between the French-Belgian tradition and the typical apple juice of Piedmont, our cider is the product of the spontaneous fermentation of apples. Fresh and genuine, its color is clear, and it has a fine perlage. It smells of flowers and spring meadows, and leaves a delicate and persistent taste. Pairings: Sidro Baladin is great as an aperitif. Thanks to its intense taste, it is ideal for informal meetings, or even for a date. The chef recommends flavorsome cheese to go with it. However, it also stands out in surprising and unexpected combinations with particularly spicy food or blue cheese, muscles and some fish, such as salt cod. Alcohol content: 4%. Available Sizes: 0,50L
Soft Drinks
The Baladin soft drinks recreate tastes and flavors that were once traditional, but with a touch of innovation. Free from colorings or preservatives, these special drinks are devoted to those who used to children, and to new generations alike
"Cola Baladin" is a soft drinks which contains no coloring or preservative and is produced with the kola nuts bought from the "Kola Slow Food Presidium" in Sierra Leone, and part of the revenues from the its sales will be donated to the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity to support the Presidium project. Another important and rather odd thing about this drink: the use of these nuts, and the necessary choice not to use artificial colorings, means that this new Baladin drink has a rather "unusual" color for a cola: IT'S RED! This red color sets it apart from more "commercial" products and makes it immediately clear that our intent is not only to make a profit: our drink is also a sign to show consumers that it often takes very little to play our part in supporting those who cannot even support themselves. Sierra Leone is one of the unfortunately too many African countries tormented by both political and economic wars and fights. Ours may be a niche production, but we believe it will help us give the word sustainability its full and important meaning. Pairings: BALADIN COLA is perfect to drink with friends. Available Sizes: 0,33L
IN SEARCH OF THE TASTE OF TIMES GONE BY. A journey searching for the taste of times gone by. A taste that our memory has registered but has been hiding for a very long time. This is Cedrata Baladin. Just a handful of great quality ingredients: water, natural brown sugar, lemon juice, carbon dioxide and the infusion of Calabria citrons, which give it the aroma and authentic flavor of Mediterranean lemons. Produced with simple and selected ingredients, it contains no colorings or preservatives: perfect for all ages! Pairings: Thanks to its acidic taste rounded by the use of brown sugar, Cedrata Baladin is a fresh drink for all meals (including a midnight snack!). It is also a great ingredient for alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails. It goes particularly well with passion fruit and lime, or gin. Available Sizes: 0,33L
DEDICATED TO THE TRADITION OF ITALIAN GINGER. Ginger Baladin is the result of years of Italian tradition and research. If it is true that the simplest things are the best, then this ginger is truly excellent. Just a few, carefully selected ingredients: water, natural brown sugar, lemon juice, carbon dioxide and the unmistakable infusion of herbs, zests of bitter. We also find some spices and vanilla, which give the drink its distinctive aroma and flavor. Note: it does not contain ginger! Pairings: Ginger Baladin is the undisputed king of the aperitif. It can be enjoyed on its own, or mixed with white wine. Given the citrusy notes of the zests, Ginger Baladin is perfect for cocktails with orange juice. Try it with ice, brown sugar on the glass rim and a slice of orange to garnish. Available Sizes: 0,33L
THE MOTHER OF CHINOTTO. Spuma Nera, or "dark Spuma" as it was once called, may be considered the "mother" of chinotto. We have chosen to go back to the traditional recipe: a basis of chinotto (a myrtle-leaf orange drink), with the addition of the reddish part of rhubarb roots and an orange zest and vanilla infusion. Like all other Baladin soft drinks, Spuma Nera is 100% natural and no colorings or preservatives are added. Pairings: Drink it on its own as aperitif or as cocktail with dark rum and orange or for a quick lunch, teasing the palate with quality products. Available Sizes: 0,33L
A REALLY "ZEN" DRINK. With his soft drinks, such as Cola, Teo has managed to refine and modernize "good old" tastes, interpreting them in a very innovative way, as he has done with Cola. But it is Mela Zen that truly marks the beginning of pure experimentation. It is produced in small quantities with the clear intention to get in contact with those who drink it and create a new taste together. The recipe contains apples and ginger, two excellent agricultural products. Fresh, tasty, intriguing… Let's discover it together! Pairings: MelaZen is such a peculiar drink that it can be enjoyed on its own at all times of the day. Do want to serve it in a special way? Take an apple, cut the top part and keep it aside: it will be your lid. Remove the flesh (you can use it to make some jam!) and leave the apple in freezer for 12 hours. Pour MelaZen in the emptied apple: it will stay fresh for a very long time and, once you've finished, you can eat a healthy snack! Available Sizes: 0,33L
WITH SPRING HAY FROM THE ITALIAN ALPS. Inspired by classic Indian tonic water, it is characterized by flowery and herbaceous notes given by the skillfully measured use of spring hay - the one that is cut first and is the most fragrant – from the Alps around Cuneo. The quinine bitterness pleasantly rounds off the balanced taste, which makes this tonic water perfect as a refreshing and thirst-quenching drink. Pairings: Perfect for mixology, it brings out all the aromas of gin, although it was originally, developed for Beermouth & Tonic, the first cocktail made with our Baladin beer vermouth. Available Sizes: 0,20L
Bevi Frutta
In this section, you'll find Baladin's Bevi Frutta: flavorsome drinks created by craft producers who have decided to put their art at the service of Teo Musso's taste. They are the perfect combination of farm-to-table fruit and spices
BEVI FRUTTA. Once upon a time, there was a rural world where we binged on fresh fruit stolen here and there from the trees in the Langhe, and on good jams made by our mothers. It has now slowly disappeared. This is why, together with our friend from the "Mariangela Prunotto" farm, we have decided to go back to our values and tastes with Bevi Frutta Apricot and Bergamot. This is one of the three Bevi Frutta by Baladin, made with the apricots from the Langhe and spices, the two ingredients of this experimentation by Teo Musso.

It is also perfect for an afternoon break, with a nice slice of bread, butter and home-made jam. Available Sizes: 0,20L
BEVI FRUTTA. When we were children, we used to drink "real" fruit juice made by our mums. From this memory an idea - shared with the "Mariangela Prunotto" farm - emerged: creating a modern product, but with the typical values of the past. This is the origin of Bevi Frutta Peach and Coriander. Non just any fruit juice, but a mixture of flesh and spices which shows how Baladin loves to experiment, even beyond the world of beer. Of course, no preservatives or additives are used. Pairings: Peach and Coriander is perfect for breakfast, to start the day with a nice and healthy portion of fruit. Appreciated by children and adults, it is the ideal drink for a healthy afternoon break for kids, with a slice of bread and home-made jam. Available Sizes: 0,20L

A panettone made with beer, born from the cooperation between Massimo Albertengo - owner of Albertengo Panettoni - a lover of leavened doughs and yeast who has elevated panettone to a world-renowned art, and Teo Musso, a man with a profound knowledge of the small yet complex and interesting world of yeasts, which he uses with great ability to create all his beers. After many experiments, they have developed two unique versions of panettone made with Xyauyù: a peculiar oxidized beer, whose taste is reminiscent of great passito wines. The simple addition of sultanas, candied orange zests and the icing made with almonds, hazelnuts, sugar and egg white make this a cake with inimitable fragrance, color and texture. Pairings: Panettone Tradizionale Baladin is perfect with Xyauyù, the ingredient that gave origin to this cake, and an excellent couch beer. Available sizes: net weight 1 kg

This lover of leavened doughs has joined his knowledge with the ability of Teo Musso to create a unique product. It all starts from a pillar of the Baladin collection, used in the preparation of this panettone and its traditional version: Xyauyù, an oxidized beer that brings us back to the world of passito wines. Other typical ingredients have been added, such as sultanas and the classic icing with almonds, hazelnuts, egg white and sugar. An interesting mix - without any candied fruit, an ingredient that some panettone fans love, while others hate.

The successful cooperation between Baladin and Albertengo continues. Massimo Albertengo was asked to think of a panettone that would bring out the amazing aromas of Beermouth, the vermouth made from Baladin beer. The result has gone above and beyond Teo's expectation and has added a new taste experience to our range of Christmas sweets. All the aromas of the 13 botanicals in the Beermouth recipe come out in a balanced and elegant manner. Xyauyù - the beer at the basis of this innovative spirit, and previously used in other versions of Baladin panettone - is a perfect ingredient for the soft, fragrant and flavorful dough of our new Christmas cake. The base recipe is that of traditional panettone, with natural sultanas, candied orange zest and an almond, hazelnut, sugar and egg white glaze; Pairings: Panettone Baladin should be served during the Christmas festivities, at the end of a meal or with a cup of tea in the afternoon.
