A shoe with a mint taste: this is how Fernet is defined in the United States

This was the experience of Charles Pbady, a chronicler Market surveillance who wrote on the cernet only to say that, although he understands his popularity in Italy and in the world, it seems to him that he "likes the minty bitumen".

Pbady refers to Eduardo Branca, a member of the family behind the world's most popular Fernet, to say that the infusion of grbad is "an acquired taste", and even referred to the addition of soda with which it is taken for these latitudes, but nothing was used to dissuade it.

Until a craft brewery in Chicago called Forbidden Root prepare a beer with fernet. But nothing was enough to sell the bitter digestive to the poor editorialist.

"We know many fans of Fernet, sophisticated people who claim to appreciate their flavor difficult to appreciate, but we are unfortunately not among them. Fernet knows menthol bitumen – and maybe we are unfair to the shoe-shine industry"
