USA & Italy: The Gambrinus Company brings Italian beer Tappeto Volante to USA

The Gambrinus Company, the largest independent beer company in the U.S. posted on April 26 that it is bringing a flavorful new Italian beer into the country. The carefully crafted beer, Tappeto Volante, comes from Biella, Italy. Gambrinus, well known for its commitment to brand-building, will initially launch Tappeto Volante in New Jersey, Delaware, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Philadelphia, according to Business Wire.

Tappeto Volante, Italian for "Flying Carpet," is an Italian Blonde Lager (Birra Bionda) brewed with all malt, pure mountain water and the finest aromatic hops, ensuring the presence of a pleasant aroma and a smooth, crisp taste.

Tappeto Volante's style is firmly rooted in a traditional craft-brewing method that transcends mainstream Italian beers. It is brewed in a small family-owned brewery in the town of Biella, located in the region of Piemonte. Nestled in the foothills of the Alps, the brewery is run by the Thedy family, now in its fourth generation of craft brewing. This outstanding brewery is committed to making high quality beers that are famous throughout Italy.
