Solar panels are installed on the roof, thus starting the process towards energy self-sufficiency.

Its typical chocolate notes mix with the aromas of dried fruit and toffee. In this version Nöel is characterized by the aroma of vanilla.
Baladin meets an important production target: 9,000 hectoliters per year. A great achievement, although still very far from the necessary 18,000/20,000 hectoliters to ensure full sustainability of the production cycle - from the production of raw materials, to energy production and product distribution.
Our range of classic beers (Isaac – Nora – Wayan – Super – Leön – Elixir) and the beers from the cellar (all Xyauyù and l’Esprit de Nöel) are now sealed with corks and protected by a layer of shellac. The aim is to use natural and recyclable materials. Also, restaurant owners are given the opportunity to open our bottles with a know and appreciated gesture.

YI-ER is born from the cooperation between Teo and his long time friend and companion since the very beginning of the Italian craft beer movement Agostino “Ago” Arioli from Birrificio Italiano. Teo creates a top fermented beer inspired by “Imperial Russian Stouts”, with a high alcohol by volume content (11%) and fermented in oak barrels. His beer builds the malty basis of the blend. Ago creates a bottom fermented 8% beer, which ferments in steel vessels. Raspberries are added at the end of the fermentation process. His beer is the hoppy part of the final blend. The first beer for the blend is brewed at Open Days at the Baladin brewery in Farigliano. The combination of the two beers generates the YI-ER blend, 9.5% ABV. A beer with a unique, balanced style.

MeM is going to Musso and Musso from the surnames of Teo Musso and Musso Antonello, owner of Frè farm.
