Maiella Brewery: Artisan Excellence in the Heart of Abruzzo
Maiella Brewery is located in Pretoro, in the Cerrani area, in the heart of Abruzzo, at the foot of the majestic Majella. Since 2008, this artisan company has carried on a brewing tradition rooted in passion, carefully selected local ingredients, and traditional production methods, combined with experimentation and creativity. Founded by Massimiliano Di Prinzio, the brewery has distinguished itself over the years through an authentic approach attentive to quality, capable of enhancing the natural resources of the region and the local cultural heritage.
The annual production stands at around 790 hectoliters thanks to a 16-hectoliter plant and a cellar with a capacity of up to 105 hectoliters, which allow it to maintain high quality standards and develop new recipes with artisanal care.

Among the beers that best express the philosophy of Maiella Brewery are products with a distinctive character, able to satisfy even the most demanding palates:
- Emigrante: an American Pale Ale with a bold, aromatic, and unmistakable taste.
- Penna Danton: an American Pale Ale distinguished by its unique and enveloping character.
- Novi Luna: a spiced beer that offers an intense and original sensory experience.
- Dea Maia: a light, fresh, and particularly thirst-quenching Blond Ale.

Furthermore, events such as the âPicnic Dayâ and the âGreat Picnicâ represent unmissable moments of gathering, characterized by good music, local gastronomic specialties, and a relaxed atmosphere that enhances the pleasure of sharing the craft beer culture.
