  1. oh my gosh! they’re in Norway?
    It’s incredible for me! I knew that the alambic method in Gueze, Belgium remained authentic (at Girardin house) and natural fermenting…but this guys are crazy!
    I have few friends that make some “artisanal” beer here in Italy, but they buy all: malt, luppulus, yeasts…
    This is the way!
    Can you send some samples?

    Amazing!!! Forgive my ignorance but does all this boiling not kill the yeast? Yes send some to Italy, I’m very curious about this.
