A warm late-afternoon wind pushes across the ridge as the group leaves the brewery and moves uphill. The path climbs through oak and Mediterranean scrub, opening suddenly to a wild lookout where Lecco, the Adda River and the eastern arm of Lake Como fall away below. Guides pass out a chosen bottle of local craft beer; conversations quiet as the sun tilts toward Resegone and the sky cools.
