BEER STYLE: Bohemian Pils
A pils-style, bright, golden colored beer with a clean taste. It is a unique beer, in its taste and smell, thanks to the extraordinary high-quality raw materials that are used at our brewery.

ALCOHOL VOLUME: 5,2%
BEER STYLE: Belgian Ale
An exclusive tribute to the Salento region, this top fermented beer is characterized by an intense golden color and a persistent head.

Tipa
COLOUR: Gold
ALCOHOL VOLUME: 4,8%
BEER STYLE: Session Ipa
An opalescent colored IPA, with a fresh and captivating taste. The malted aromas, pils and pale, balance the hops, with a honey flavor.

It is a complex beer that can be drunk at every time of the day.
Fripa
COLOUR: Straw Yellow
ALCOHOL VOLUME: 0%
BEER STYLE: Alcohol Free Session Ipa
A fragant, easy-to-drink light beer that stands out thanks to the strenght of the American hops. The italian malts and vigorous hopping result in a bold golden-colored beer, perfect on every occasion with a distinctive personality and long bitter finish. 0% alcohol and drink with no moderation!
