The Menabrea 150° La Rossa is a prestigious double malt specialty produced by the historic brewery in Biella, a source of pride in the Italian brewing scene founded in 1846. This bottom-fermented bock stands out for its intense, warm, and enveloping character. The expert blending of dark malts and the careful selection of raw materials create a structured beer that expresses a perfect balance between the sweet softness of caramel and the finesse of the hops.

👅 Tasting Notes

- Finish: Slightly spicy and balanced in the finish by a perceptible bitter note, delicate but clean, which softens the initial sweetness.
🍣 The Unusual Pairing: Testing with Sushi
Pairing a structured red beer at 7.5% vol. with sushi is a bold choice, but incredibly well-judged if you focus on decisive flavors, grilled items, or savory sauces. Compared to a light lager, Menabrea Rossa does not pair well with delicate white fish, but excels in the following combinations: [1]
- Uramaki with Teriyaki Sauce (e.g., Dragon Roll or Eel Roll): The distinct sweetness of the caramel and brown sugar in the beer pairs magnificently with the bittersweet and caramelized component of the teriyaki sauce and the eel.
- Flambé (Torched) Sushi: The hint of toasted malt pairs perfectly with the smoky notes generated by torching salmon or tuna.
- Rolls with Foie Gras, Truffle, or Wagyu: If you love modern fusion sushi with rich meat ingredients, the robust body and 7.5% ABV of this red beer cleanse the palate of the dish's richness.
- Fried Uramaki (Crunchy or Tempura): The structure and alcoholic strength of the beer stand up very well to the heaviness of the fried food and spicy mayonnaises (Spicy Salmon/Tuna Roll).
