Federico II Craft Brewery: Tradition and Innovation in the Heart of Oria
The Federico II Craft Brewery is located at Via Tripoli 82/A, in the picturesque historic center of Oria, in the province of Brindisi. This artisanal venture, established in 2018, was born from the intent to enhance Apulian brewing culture by combining a passion for beer with an ancient history rooted in the Middle Ages.
The brewery takes inspiration from a fascinating legend: in 1229, returning from the Holy Land, some knights serving Emperor Frederick II stopped right in this land. It was they, along with the local settlers, who produced a unique beverage made with native raw materials, destined to become the Emperorâs favorite to celebrate the most important moments of his reign. This tradition lives on today through the beers of the Federico II Brewery, which combines historical memory with a modern production style attentive to quality.
