Due Frati Brewery: Craft Excellence in the Heart of Verona

The Due Frati Brewery, located in Erbè, in the province of Verona, was born from the shared passion of Elettra Dall'Oca and Sebastiano Boraso. This couple transformed their love for craft beer into a tangible reality, creating a truly unique project. The brewery’s story is inspired by the first brewing experiments carried out in collaboration with two friars from the Franciscan Brotherhood of Bethany, from which the name “Due Frati” (Two Friars) also derives.

The adventure, which began in 2015, materialized in 2018 with the production of the first batch. Choosing to settle within the family farm, Elettra and Sebastiano were able to enhance the territory by directly cultivating barley and creating a small hop garden. This deep connection with the land guarantees zero-kilometer raw materials and gives the beers a distinctive, authentic character strongly rooted in local traditions.

Craft Beers That Tell a Story of Tradition and Innovation

Due Frati Brewery stands out for a diverse range of beers, from classic styles to more innovative and exclusive creations. Among the most appreciated references are:

Salvador: a beer with a strong personality, inspired by the friars of Barana, enriched with mango, a typical Brazilian fruit. For every bottle sold, one euro is donated to support a kindergarten for children in Salvador de Bahia, confirming the brewery’s ethical commitment.
Il Segreto Del Frate (The Friar’s Secret): a California Common with an alcohol content of 4.9%, characterized by notes of caramel and roasted malt, with delicate nuances of cereals, spices, and dried fruit.
Laudes: an elegant Blanche/Wit with 4.5% alcohol, appreciated for its freshness and delicacy.
Vesprum: an American Amber Ale with a bold character and 5.6% alcohol, offering a full and enveloping tasting experience.

The brewery welcomes enthusiasts at Via Cort’Alta, 2a in Erbè, with visiting hours designed for convenience: Tuesday to Friday from 3:30 pm to 7:00 pm, Saturday both morning and afternoon, while Monday and Sunday remain closed.

Every sip of Due Frati beers tells the story of a land, a commitment, and a passion that goes far beyond mere production: it is an invitation to discover the art of brewing with a strong connection to the environment and social responsibility, elements that make this microbrewery a true Italian craft jewel.
