Birrificio Estense: the heart of craft beer in Este
Birrificio Estense is located at Via Atheste 40C, in the heart of Este, in the province of Padua. Founded in 2011 from the passion of Nicola Innocenti, this brewery quickly became a reference point for all lovers of quality craft beer. Recently, the brewery moved its headquarters from Montagnana to Este, bringing back to life the famous âBorsettaâ, a historic tavern of the city, transforming it into a true beer house.
The experience at Birrificio Estense is much more than just a visit: it is a journey into the authentic flavors of the Italian brewing tradition, with careful attention to every detail of production.
Quality and tradition in beer production
The breweryâs philosophy is based on rigor and authenticity. All beers produced are unpasteurized and unfiltered, characteristics that preserve intact the organoleptic properties and the original taste of each creation. This technical choice guarantees a genuine drinking experience, faithful to the raw materials and the artisanal process.
Among the most appreciated beers stand out:
- Calle San Miguel 426: a light and fresh Golden Ale, with balanced hints of pink grapefruit that make it perfect for those seeking a delicate but intense flavor.
- Django: an Imperial Stout with an ebony color, rich in intense notes of roasted malt and bitter cocoa, ideal for lovers of full-bodied beers with a strong character.
Birrificio Estenseâs selection is enriched with other niche productions, always carefully crafted down to the smallest detail, confirming the passion and expertise that guide every phase of the production process.
A convivial place celebrating beer culture
The brewery hosts a welcoming tap room with a rustic charm that recalls the typical atmosphere of ancient Italian taverns. The simple environment, enriched by a mural created by the artist Gloria Bordin, creates a perfect space to taste the beers on site, meeting producers and enthusiasts.
There are also events dedicated to the world of beer, which contribute to making Birrificio Estense a true cultural and gastronomic meeting point. In December 2024, for example, the brewery proudly celebrated the silver medal it received at the prestigious European Beer Star with its âBock B.E.â, accompanying the award ceremony with live music, tastings, and local specialties.
For those who wish to discover an authentic and dynamic reality in the Italian craft brewery scene, Birrificio Estense represents a must-visit stop, capable of combining history, quality, and passion into a single sensory experience.
