When most beer drinkers think of microbrews, they think of U.S. craft-brewed beers. Rustico’s Beer Director Greg Engert is working to change that perception by introducing several international microbrews hailing from the unfamiliar beer regions of the world, including Denmark, Norway, Brazil and Japan.
“These countries have long been known for experimenting with new craft styles, but their products have not gained traction with American beer drinkers because they’re not widely available in this country,” says Engert.
Beginning April 16th, Engert will introduce Rustico’s craft beer lovers to new and noteworthy seasonal selections from the lesser-known microbreweries of the world, including Wintercoat, a family-owned and operated brewery situated on an old farm just outside Sabro, Denmark; Nogne-O, an independent brewery founded in 2002 in Grimstad, Norway; Cervejaria SudBrack, a family-owned craft brewery in Blumenau, Brazil that employs a German brew master to create beers in accordance with traditional European methods; and Kiuchi Shuzou, a long-established brewer known mostly for its sake from Ibaraki, Japan. These beers, which must be special ordered for the restaurant and will be available on a rotating basis, will range in price from $8 to $10 for drafts and $10 to $15 for bottles.
