Beer of the Month - August 2005

This month's favourite beer is Nastro Azzurro from Peroni.

Nastro Azzurro is Italian for "Blue Ribbon" - not an auspicious name for a beer, but it makes up for this shortcoming with great taste and palatability. Drink Nastro in Italian restaurants with pizza or meat and pasta dishes. If the waiter doesn't have any Nastro, he'll bring you a standard Peroni, which is certainly drinkable, but make a mental note never to eat there again.
