In the area the good tables are not lacking, but for lunch we choose a really special place: the Restaurant Birrario Casa Baladin by Piozzo. Yes, you have read well, in the land of the great wines and wineries of excellence, our choice falls instead on a restaurant tied double thread to a brewery. Of course not any one. Since 1996, in fact, Baladin has been producing the best Italian craft beers, which are considered to be very good abroad. Restored in a 18th century palace, House Baladin It's all you'd ever expect to find on the square of this cuneese paesotto overlooking the Langa "vinatera". In environments of great atmosphere, where there are suggestions, furnishings, sounds and music that know about Africa and the East, you can taste dishes based on local products, designed to enhance the different beers of the house (and not vice versa!).
Each of which features unique and unrepeatable personalities, such as Nora, for example, reworking a recipe of the ancient Egyptians, or Leon, brown beer of pure malt with notes of chocolate obtained with cocoa beans Criollo Venezuelan. So much so that, between a tasting and the other, lunch ends up turning into a real sensorial experience.
Crowned by the arrival of Istria Teo Musso, the brilliant beer master founder Baladin, who tells us the adventurous history of his life and how an uncontensible passion for blondes, brunettes and redheads led him to become the most famous beermaker in Italy and make Piozzo the capital of Italian craft beer.
In addition to the beer restaurant, we discover that House Baladin also has some rooms furnished with great taste, in minimal or ethnic style, perfect for a romantic getaway or even for a providential stop for those who are afraid to have raised a little too much the elbow.
