Birra Mastino: An Artisan Jewel in the Heart of Bussolengo
Located in Bussolengo, in the province of Verona, Birra Mastino is a craft brewery that for over fifteen years has stood out for the quality of its beers and its commitment to promoting the Veronese territory. Founded in 2007 by Mauro Salaorni and Christian Superbi, the brewery was born from a deep passion for brewing tradition and an authentic connection with the local culture, an element that has always inspired the creation of unique products with a genuine character.
In 2015, Birra Mastino moved its headquarters to Via Caduti sul Lavoro 11, in Bussolengo, thus expanding production spaces and improving efficiency thanks to the installation of new production lines. This step forward allowed better accommodation of enthusiasts, offering a dedicated beershop area and a tasting zone where one can directly savor craft beers and participate in guided tours. During these appointments, the staff accompanies visitors through the production process, offering not only tastings but also insights into raw materials and brewing techniques, making every experience engaging and educational.
Quality, Territory, and Sustainability as Essential Foundations
What makes Birra Mastino truly special is the meticulous care of raw materials. The brewery cultivates directly in the Veronese hills the barley and hops used in the production of its beers, thus guaranteeing complete traceability and total control over the quality of the final product. This virtuous approach allows for beers with an authentic and distinctive taste, which tell the story and flavor of the territory.
Among the most appreciated specialties are:
- Pils 1291: a Bohemian Pils with a fresh and pleasantly drinkable character, ideal for any time of the day.
- Helles Cangrande: a pale beer inspired by the Bavarian style, perfect to accompany tasty dishes such as sushi and leavened products.
Besides production, Birra Mastino is committed to creating occasions for gathering and celebration, such as the Mastino Beer Fest, an annual event that celebrates hop culture, good music, and conviviality. Here beer lovers can taste new releases and classics, enjoying a social atmosphere rich in gastronomic pleasures.
This combination of quality, environmental care, and connection to local tradition makes Birra Mastino a point of reference for those seeking Italian craft beers that speak an authentic and distinctive language. The visiting and tasting experience in its spaces is a must for those wishing to discover the true spirit of Veronese craft beer.
