BIRA Brewery: Authentic Venetian Craft Beer
The BIRA Brewery is located in Dosson di Casier, in the province of Treviso, and was established in 2017 as a small excellence in the Italian craft beer scene. The name itself, an acronym for Independent Regional Craft Brewery, embodies the philosophy that has always guided its production: to enhance the Veneto territory through beers that express genuineness and local identity.
BIRA’s Philosophy: Independence, Territory, and Craftsmanship
There are three pillars on which every beer produced by BIRA is based:
- Independence: the brewery operates without ties to investors or external companies, thus guaranteeing the freedom to experiment and follow its own vision.
- Regionality: the use of typical ingredients from the Veneto region, such as Treviso radicchio and raisins, gives each beer a unique character deeply connected to local tradition.
- Craftsmanship: every phase of production is carefully managed with manual methods, without filtration or pasteurization, to keep intact the aromas, flavors, and natural freshness of the product.
The combination of these values makes BIRA a benchmark for those seeking beers not only of quality but also with an authentically Venetian soul.
BIRA Beers: Experimentation and Territorial Taste
The brewery’s range of beers is a continuous exploration of local flavors and ingredients, with original offerings that blend tradition and innovation:
- Amarona: an amber beer in the American Pale Ale style, enriched with Treviso radicchio during boiling and a selection of American hops in dry-hopping. A perfect balance between bitterness and floral aromas, with a decisive and enveloping character.
- Kanabira: a top-fermented white beer, distinguished by the addition of hemp and star anise. The result is a fresh, spicy, and surprisingly harmonious beverage.
- Perla: a blonde Pilsner made from Pils malt and Biancoperla corn, with an elegant spice blend of bergamot peel, black pepper, and chamomile. A balanced beer, light in taste but complex.
- Skura: a dark oatmeal stout prepared with a blend of fine malts and oats, enriched with local raisins. This beer wins over with its depth and smoothness, bearing an intense and enveloping character.
Each beer is the result of careful work and passion that can be felt from the very first sip, making BIRA Brewery a laboratory of artisanal excellence.
A Dedicated Team and Quality Production
The heartbeat of the brewery is its team, led by brewer Vanni Favaro, who passionately oversees every detail, from the selection of raw materials to the maturation of the beers. The annual production is about 12,000 liters, achieved thanks to a 250-liter brew house and a 1,000-liter cellar. This results in limited production but closely controlled at every stage to guarantee consistently fresh and high-quality beers.
For those wishing to discover this reality up close, the brewery is open by appointment, offering not only exclusive tastings but also the possibility to purchase beers directly, taking home a piece of authentic Veneto.
BIRA Brewery tells a story of tradition and innovation, where love for the territory and the pursuit of quality merge into beers that deserve to be discovered and appreciated.
