Located to the west of the train station, Gattarancio was hopefully going to be the highlight of the four days spent in Cagliari. A bar and shop take up most of the ground floor area that is not the brewing plant. Upstairs is a large seated area, the restaurant. The first night was excellent, good Bier, good food, good service. We were set to make this – our local.
The return visit was a disgrace. We sat at the bar, there was no white wine, Marg did not wish red, and so never got a drink. A truly ignorant barman, he was so engrossed in his own conversation, he was not serving his customers. We did not go back.
Upupa 5.5%
Lager
Gold, with a slight haze.
OK body, nothing special, nothing nasty.
Rose Saison 6.5%
Saison
Hint of cerise.
Slightly sour, making for an interesting flavour.
Hoppola IPA 6.6% (Birrifcio Artignale – Spantu – Domusnovas, Sardegna)

Gold, chill haze.
Full body, a hop hit.
Can taste the New World hops.
Most enjoyable, but not a world beater.
