Sensory and cultural experiences in the world of craft beer

Gordola

BeerLab offers activities related to the art and culture of brewing, with a focus on local territories and sustainability. In the production process, local ingredients are preferred as far as possible, for example by valorizing what is left over at the end of the production process. These 'leftovers' become valuable secondary materials, for example in the production of bread and biscuits.

Among the various offers, we would like to highlight the following:

Master brewer for a day
Malts, in addition to water, hops and yeast, are the necessary ingredients for beer production.
BeerLab offers an experiential course to learn the principles of home brewing. Thanks to our micro-plants, people, after setting up the recipe, can start grinding the malt grains and actively participate in the various stages of production. During the brewing process, the characteristics of malt, hops and yeast are explained as well as how these ingredients influence the different styles of beer.
Between the production steps, it is also possible to taste Ticino's craft beers, accompanied by music and local culinary products.
After about ten days, fermentation is complete and the beer produced is delivered to the participants.
