Bondai Craft Brewery: a new star of craft beer in Carnia
In the heart of the Carnic Alps, in Sutrio, is the Bondai Craft Brewery, a young and passionate reality that is winning over lovers of Italian craft beer. Founded in 2020 by Luca Dalla Torre and Arianna Matiz, Bondai was born from a deep love for brewing art, inspired by a trip to Australia in 2006, when Luca began experimenting with homebrewing.
The brewery’s very name tells a story: “Bondai” is a tribute to Bondi Beach, the famous Sydney beach that marked the beginning of the brewing journey, but in the Friulian dialect it also means “all right, come on,” perfectly capturing the relaxed and welcoming spirit of the company.
A production attentive to quality and tradition
With an annual production of about 25,000 liters, Bondai Brewery offers a selection of beers that stand out for balance and drinkability, ranging from traditional styles to modern reinterpretations. Among the most appreciated offerings are:
- Rauchbier: a smoked beer with a strong yet harmonious character
- Weisse: a classic wheat beer, light and refreshing
- German Pils: an elegant pilsner with a clean taste
- Anglophone interpretations of classic recipes, always attentive to quality and innovation
Each beer is born from the search for the purest ingredients and meticulous care in the production process, blending traditional techniques with a touch of creativity.
A place to experience beer in all its shades
The brewery features a welcoming Taproom, made entirely of wood, inviting a refreshing break after a day of sports or hiking in the surrounding mountains. Here it is possible to taste beers directly on tap or buy cans to take home, in a familiar and convivial environment.
Bondai also represents a cultural and social meeting point for enthusiasts, hosting special events throughout the year. Among these, the birthday party “Bonday” – which celebrates the brewery with the participation of numerous Italian craft breweries – is an unmissable event for those who want to immerse themselves in the best local productions.
Bondai Craft Brewery is much more than just a beer producer: it is a place where passion, tradition, and nature meet, offering anyone who wants to discover the true flavor of Carnia an authentic and engaging experience.
