Ofelia Brewery: The Excellence of Craft Beer in Sovizzo
In the heart of Sovizzo, in the province of Vicenza, Ofelia Brewery has established itself as an indispensable reference point for lovers of Italian craft beer. Founded in 2012 by Lisa Freschi and Andrea Signorini, this brewery is named after Ophelia, the Shakespearean character who embodies values of purity and authenticity. These very principles are reflected in the distinctive character of their products, which combine tradition and innovation at every stage of the production process.
The brewery’s philosophy is based on a meticulous selection of raw materials and careful artisanal processing that gives life to beers with a unique and well-balanced flavor. The range of beers produced is wide and varied, spanning from classic lagers and IPAs to more experimental creations, designed to satisfy every type of palate. Among the most beloved beers are:
- Amitabh: a bold and aromatic English IPA.
- Piazza delle Erbe: a fresh and fragrant Saison, perfect for those seeking lightness and character.
- Dipalicious: a robust Double IPA with extraordinary intensity.
