The Italian micro-brewery established in 2004, grows distich barley in order to produce handcrafted beer. It is the oldest craft brewery in Sicily and one of the first in Italy. In 2017 it was awarded as the best brewery in Sicily.

The company cultivates barley in an environment with optimal soil and climate conditions and grows clean cereals without ycotoxins. The hopped wort is brewed with a direct flame in a handcrafted plant, and top quality malts and hops are used for the production; the beer is then stabilized, re-fermented and matured in the bottle, without undergoing any filtration or pasteurization treatment.

This methodology allows to carry out specific technical operations, such as the foaming of proteins, the absence of which would make beers less tasteful.
