Pian della Mussa Brewery: Craft Excellence Among the Piedmont Peaks
In the picturesque setting of the Graian Alps, at an altitude of 1,432 meters, stands the Pian della Mussa Brewery, a handcrafted gem located in the picturesque Albaron Village, in the municipality of Balme, province of Turin. Founded in 2012, this microbrewery has successfully combined passion, tradition, and innovation to create top-quality organic beers deeply connected to the mountain territory they inhabit.
The quality of its beers comes from a meticulous selection of ingredients: organic barley malt, wheat, and hops, strictly free from chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and GMOs, carefully chosen from the best harvests. A distinctive element of the brewery is certainly the water, sourced from the nearby Albaron spring, which gives the beers a unique purity and character, a true expression of the Graian Alps. This attention to detail and environmental sustainability shines through every stage of production and is reflected in every sip.
The Range of Organic Beers Between Tradition and Innovation
Pian della Mussa Brewery offers a variety of beers designed to meet different tastes, through well-defined styles that tell stories of territory and passion, including:
- Brigà Lager: a soft and balanced blonde, perfect for those seeking a fresh and thirst-quenching beer.
- Brigà IPA: an intense and heavily hopped India Pale Ale, ideal for those who love robust and complex flavors.
- Brigà Bock: red, full-bodied, and with a strong character, inspired by German brewing traditions.
- Brigà Blanche: white, fresh, and spiced, echoing classic Belgian wheat beers.
- Brigà Unfiltered: a beer that preserves all authentic aromas thanks to its unfiltered nature.
Alongside the Brigà line, the Steinbock stands out, a dark beer inspired by German Schwarz styles, with a soft and delicate taste that makes it a sought-after product. In 2025, the Mango Rush IPA was launched, a new sensory experience combining the freshness of an India Pale Ale with the sweet and exotic aroma of mango.
The brewery’s adjoining pub, located in the heart of Albaron Village, is an ideal meeting point for those wishing to taste these creations accompanied by typical dishes revisited with a modern twist. The atmosphere is welcoming and well cared for, easily reachable from Turin and the main locations in the region, with variable opening hours during the week.
Every bottle from Pian della Mussa Brewery is the result of careful research into the balance between the genuineness of ingredients, respect for the environment, and a deep connection to the mountains, offering an authentic experience that celebrates the flavors and nature of the Graian Alps.
