Open Baladin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With 40 Italian beers on tap plus a selection of over 100 bottled Italian and international beers you can not say they don\u2019t have something for you at Open Baladin<\/a>! Teo Musso has been passionate about craft beer for decades and opened his first pub in the northern city of Cuneo in the late 1980\u2019s. His creative streak has led to collaborations with American Craft beer pioneer Sam Calagione. Combine your love of archeology and beer with a bottle of Etrusca, a beer brewed with ingredients that have been selected on the basis of the findings from several Italian archaeological sites to create a beer which the Etruscans may have drunk more than 2,500 years ago. Hamburgers, and fresh potato chips called Le Fatate<\/em> (we recommend the cacio e pepe<\/a><\/em> flavor) are the highlights on the food menu. The space is enormous with a maze of different rooms but book ahead or plan on a wait on most evenings.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
