Born under the sun of the Island of Beauty, the Pietra blonde 33 cl embodies the spirit of French specialty beers, with a signature rooted as much in terroir as in artisanal craft. Brasserie Pietra, proud of its Corsican heritage, offers here a balanced, characterful blonde designed to celebrate the simplicity of good times. Its luminous colour, delicately persistent head and cereal backbone subtly caressed by chestnut compose a very well-judged profile. Whether for aperitif or at the table, it provides immediate freshness, impeccable structure and a clean, upright finish of rare elegance. For the knowledgeable enthusiast, it is an entry point to an affirmed island craftsmanship. For the curious, it promises a sincere, accessible and highly enjoyable discovery.

Brewing and ingredients

Crafted with the care of houses committed to precision, Pietra blonde highlights a selection of quality barley malts, hops chosen for their aromatic freshness and pure water drawn from a preserved environment. The touch of chestnut flour, emblematic of the brewery, brings that patina-like nuance that signs the beer’s profile without weighing it down. The brewing follows a time-respecting process to achieve a clear, stable structure conducive to a fine head and controlled effervescence. The result is a balanced specialty blonde where malt sweetness meets the clarity of a defined bitterness, delivering a bright, straightforward and decidedly thirst-quenching expression. The brewery preserves aromatic integrity at every step, from grain selection to bottling in 33 cl, the perfect format for individual tasting and consistent service.

Tasting notes

• Appearance: Bright golden blonde, clear, crossed by fine effervescence that leaves a delicate, even white head with a persistent collar.
• Aroma: Initial impressions of fresh cereals and warm crumb, then notes of sweet chestnut, light florals and a hint of citrus. A clean, unadorned fragrance that evokes the coastal scrub after a shower.
• Palate: Lively, fresh attack immediately followed by malt roundness. The mid-palate builds in breadth with a supple texture before a precise, clear bitterness stretches the finish. Dry, slightly toasted persistence with great cleanliness.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve Pietra blonde between 5 and 7°C to preserve its tension and the delicacy of its foam. A tulip or goblet glass will emphasise the aromatic expression while channeling the effervescence. Rinse the glass lightly with cold water before serving, pour in two stages to shape a fine, even head, then let the beer open for a few moments. At the table, adjust the temperature according to the pairing sought, cooler for aperitifs, slightly warmer to highlight the cereal notes and the delicate chestnut imprint. Store away from light, upright, and prefer consumption within a year to enjoy the maximum liveliness of its profile.

Food pairings

• Aperitifs: delicate charcuterie, vegetable chips, crostini with confit tomato and basil.
• Starters: market salads, herb-marinated burrata, zucchini fritters, sea bream carpaccio with citrus.
• Main courses: pasta with bottarga, Neapolitan pizza, grilled red mullet fillets, roast poultry with lemon and thyme.
• Cheeses: tomme de brebis, fresh goat cheese, young Comté, which respond to the malt’s sweetness and the final bitterness.
• Desserts: thin apple tart, light fiadone, toasted almonds for a delicate echo of the chestnut.
