Birrificio Felice: Artisan Excellence on the Shores of Lake Garda
Birrificio Felice, located in San Felice del Benaco, at Via Garibaldi 20, is a shining example of how passion, tradition, and territory can come together in the creation of high-quality craft beers. Founded in 2010 by two friends with a great passion for beer, this microbrewery has transformed an old cellar in the heart of the historic center into a brewing workshop that fits perfectly into the local context, strengthened by its connection to the territory and its resources.
Over the years, Birrificio Felice has consolidated its presence in the Italian craft beer scene, reaching a turning point in 2015 that led to a more structured and recognized production, while maintaining the genuine and artisanal character that distinguishes it.
The Art of Beer Serving the Territory
Birrificio Felice’s production is based on a careful selection of ingredients and respect for brewing traditions, following the ancient principle of the Reinheitsgebot. Traditional beers are made exclusively with:
- Pure water
- Malted cereals
- Hops
For special beers, the brewery is inspired by the unique aromas and flavors of Lake Garda, enhancing local ingredients such as citrus fruits grown in the area, aromatic herbs, and natural resins. This approach creates beers with an authentic and unmistakable character, telling the story of the territory in every sip.
Among Birrificio Felice’s flagship productions are some highly appreciated labels:
- Vivaldi: a balanced pale lager characterized by local hops
- Rossella: a dunkel lager aged in wooden barrels, with an intense and complex flavor
- p'IPA d'Erbe: a zero-kilometer herbal beer, dedicated to lovers of aromatic scents
- Lucciole: a refreshing blanche flavored with local lemons
- BraciaPina: a smoked beer with resinous notes, perfect for those seeking something unique and full-bodied
The microbrewery is not only about production but also adds value to the local community: it offers a home delivery service within the province of Brescia, with weekly deliveries every Wednesday, personally carried out by a staff member to ensure a direct and attentive relationship with customers.
For those who wish to immerse themselves in the world of craft beer, Birrificio Felice opens its doors by appointment, allowing visitors to see the facilities, discover every phase of production, and taste the beers on-site. This experience represents a unique opportunity to appreciate not only the final product but also the passion and care behind each bottle.
Birrificio Felice is therefore an essential reference point for those who want to discover the best of Italian craft beer, combining authenticity, territory, and innovation. Its presence on the shores of Lake Garda enriches the cultural and gastronomic landscape, offering beers that are true liquid stories of the local scenery and history.
