Birre Maccardi: Craft Excellence in the Heart of Rieti
In the picturesque setting at the foot of Terminillo, in Rieti, Birre Maccardi was born, a craft microbrewery created from the passion of three friends: Roberto, Riccardo, and Federico. Their story began in 2003, when Federico started experimenting in his home garage, giving life to 'Good Hope,' a Golden Ale that soon won over friends and sparked the curiosity of the other partners. From a simple hobby to a true mission, their passion turned into a concrete project with the opening of the brewery in 2016.
Birre Maccardi stands out for its ability to skillfully blend the brewing traditions of the United Kingdom, Belgium, and Germany, interpreted with a contemporary and artisanal sensitivity. Their work tells not only a story of friendship and dedication but also of love for authentic and refined beer.

The production of Birre Maccardi includes a selection of craft beers that reflect a variety of styles and aromatic profiles, designed to meet diverse and surprising tastes. Among the main offerings are:
