Birra di Capri: the artisanal heart of Anacapri
In the heart of Anacapri, at Via Pagliaro 2, Birra di Capri was born, an artisanal brewery that since 2006 has carried on a tradition made of passion, attention to quality, and deep roots in the island territory. Founded by the Brunetti family, present on the island since the early 20th century, the brewery is today led by the fourth generation: the brothers Mirko, Paolo, and Fabrizio. Their philosophy focuses on enhancing Capri’s identity through beers made with traditional methods and selected raw materials, experienced as authentic expressions of the local history and culture.
The production of Birra di Capri offers a diverse range of craft beers, both top- and bottom-fermented, that captivate with their unique character and care in processing. Among the most appreciated creations are:
-
Ligea: a clear Blond Ale, with a delicate and slightly bitter taste, perfect for those seeking lightness and freshness.
-
Leucosia: an amber beer in Vienna Lager style, rich in malt notes that deliver a warm and enveloping flavor.
-
Perla: a clear Bavarian Weizen style beer, with typical fruity and spicy nuances that make it refined and aromatic.
-
Pilsner: a clear flavored beer in Pils style, characterized by a fresh and intensely hoppy aromatic profile.
-
LemonPeel: a clear lemon-flavored beer, a perfect blend of lively citrus freshness and artisanal brewing tradition.
A distinctive element of Capri’s beers is the choice not to pasteurize or microfilter the products, a decision that allows preserving all the aromas, flavors, and organoleptic properties intact, thus offering an authentic and genuine tasting experience.
Hospitality and tradition: beyond beer
Birra di Capri does not limit itself to producing brewing excellence but acts as a spokesperson for an entire philosophy of hospitality and territory enhancement. The Brunetti family also manages the famous Bar Grotta Azzurra, a historic venue in the heart of Anacapri where it is possible to taste craft beers in a warm and atmospheric environment, frequented by locals and tourists seeking an authentic experience.
There is also a commitment to hospitality in the Giuliva Charming Rooms, a guest house located in the center of Anacapri, which conveys warm Caprese welcome and offers a privileged base to discover the island’s natural and cultural wonders. Here guests can immerse themselves in the charm of Capri, breathing the atmosphere of a place where tradition and modernity meet.
Birra di Capri is therefore much more than a brewery: it is an ambassador of culture, flavors, and island authenticity, guardian of a family history that continues to write important chapters in the world of Italian craft beers.
