These experiences span across Switzerland, Italy, and various parts of the world.
The craft beers from Fermento offer a fascinating variety of sophisticated flavors that reflect the brewer's passion and expertise.
The beers themselves are absolutely perfectly brewed, especially the Ventuno, and its unique taste appealed to me.
Furthermore, the service is impeccable. I spoke directly with the owner, and he had excellent knowledge about the combination of dishes and the brewing process itself.

Tempura is a popular Japanese dish in which the ingredients (usually vegetables and seafood) are lightly battered and deep fried. Replace ice-cold water with Fermento beer “Weizen Mistral” instead. It makes the crust exactly right texture. Light and crispy! A cold Mistral wheat is the perfect accompaniment to the warm tempura
Great news to share! Fermento Liberica was awarded the gold medal at the “Frankfurt International Trophy“ competition. A fine achievement for this award-winning beer after the silver medal it won in 2022 at the Swiss Beer Award. Upon invitation, we chose to participate with our Liberica because the competition has a strong connection to the world of gastronomy and, each year, the honorary president of the competition is a renowned chef.
The beef stew is always very well received, because it has all the 5 flavours- salt, sweet, sour, bitter and umami in it. The beer makes the meat even more tender and also the sweetness of the honey coming from the beer goes very well with the Läckerli. A Fermento Ventuno beer alongside the stew is of course a must.
Lager in English, but also Helles in German, Blonde in Italian, Pilsner in Czech…. quite a few names for what is considered the king of beers! Certainly, the worldwide best-selling, probably the most delicate in flavour and certainly the most refreshing of all beers. In this blog post, I highlight the commonalities and the main differences, so that you too can choose your favourite lager.
The fine beer-flavoured “Deconstructed stout cannoli” (Cannolo scomposto alla Birra) is a delicious variation of the iconic Sicilian Cannolo, a fried rolled bubbly wafer filled with sweet ricotta cheese. In this dessert recipe, the waffle is deconstructed (broken down) and sprinkled over the ricotta cream, enriched with a touch of Fermento Liberica stout-based sauce, which imparts a refined chocolate and coffee flavour.
These days, ingredients of any kind are added to beers, and things are getting a bit confusing. For example, how comes that some beers taste so fruity and they don’t contain real fruits? And why that chocolate taste in the stouts? My aim with this blog post is to look into beer ingredients and share my experience on those that are traditional and those that can be classified as “creative”.
