The terrace is the first thing that draws you — a wide, sun-warmed balcony that looks out over a valley of olive, avocado and orange trees, where evening light slides along the ridges and the air smells faintly of citrus and yeast. Here, an unpasteurized lager or a dark Dunkel tastes like the landscape: direct, honest, and briefly wild.
