Due Terre: The Grisette from the collaboration between OTUS and SORIO.
Due Terre is the Grisette-styled one-shot beer originated from the collaboration between Otus and Sorio breweries, produced with malts and cereals cultivated by the two breweries.
Otuslab, OTUS Brewery creative laboratory, produced a new one-shot beer, named Due Terre because inside the recipe Pils malt, wheat and oat cultivated by Otus and by Birrificio Agricolo Sorio from Gambellara (VI) can be found. Saison yeast offers typical fruity and spices aromas and great dryness, while European hops Endeavour, Challenger and Akoya contribute to its aromatic complexity, made up of herbaceous, earthy and spiced hints and tastes.
«Beer is an agricultural product based on the fruits of the land, whose organoleptic value comes firstly from ingredients quality: this is Birrificio Agricolo Sorio’s philosophy. This collaboration finds its origin from the desire to put into practice this production concept together, that I personally totally share. Otus too cultivates cereals to have high-quality raw materials and to have the agricultural cycle under control; for this reason, we decided to produce a one-shot beer in Grisette style». [Alessandro Reali –Otus Brewery Brewmaster]

Due Terre is a dry and thirst-quenching beer:
• high-fermented
• fruit and spices aroma
• herbaceous, earthy and spiced taste
• pale colour (10 EBC)
• moderate bitterness (20 IBU)
• quite low alcohol content (4,3% ABV)

«Together with Otus Brewery, we produced a low-alcohol Grisette beer using, in addition to the classic barley malt, great quantities of wheat and oat that provide respectively rusticity and softness. English hops confer typical herbaceous and citric notes that ease the drinking moment. Due Terre is a beer easy to drink, but still satisfying; we invite you to taste it to find out a rather particular and not very widespread beer style». [Giacomo Maule and Mirko Boggian – Birrificio Agricolo Sorio Brewmasters]

Due Terre will be tapped in pubs starting from the second week of May.
Notes
Grisette beer style is originally from the Hainaut region in Wallonia (Belgium). Grisette beers were meant for miners’ afterwork: energizing yet thirst-quenching and refreshing beers, with low alcohol content and a light body, to be drunk in great quantities. Girls that served this beer to workers leaving the coal mines used to wear grey uniforms and were called jokingly Grisette; by transposition the beer took the same name too
