Tea-Rex is a truly seasonal beer in the most authentic sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eItalian Hops Company: Italian hops\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItalian Hops Company\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the most interesting players in the Italian craft brewing agricultural scene: it grows hops in Italy with American and international varieties, supplying Italian breweries with fresh, high-quality raw materials sourced locally.
