Our 50 Beers Around the World entry for the day is Peroni, a popular brand from Italy. It is widely available here in the United States, except for perhaps Provo, Utah (we couldn't resist)!
The brewery opened in 1846 and moved to Rome in 1864 when we were having a brewhaha in places like New Market, Gettysburgh and Vicksburg.
The English beer giant SABMiller brought Peroni in 2005.
SIDEBAR_ I wanted to wish milestone birthdays to my friend Bob in Woodstock, Va. (turned 80 on Aug. 10), Woody in Richmond, Va. (turned 40 on Aug. 20), actor
Ben Gazzara (turns 80 today) and my great aunt Jo in Rock Hill, SC, who turns 100 on Sunday!
