Ritual Lab: artisanal excellence at the gates of Rome
Located in Formello, just a few kilometers from Rome, Ritual Lab has established itself since 2015 as one of the most innovative and appreciated craft breweries in the Italian scene. Founded by Giovanni Faenza, this microbrewery combines passion, research, and a deep respect for tradition, creating authentic beers with great personality.
Ritual Lab’s production philosophy is based on very clear principles: the beers are unfiltered, unpasteurized, and free of additives, thus ensuring a genuine product rich in character. Every hopping, every fermentation, and every refinement is carefully studied to offer unique sensory experiences. A flagship example is the famous Papanero, an Imperial Stout aged in Laphroaig barrels, which has won over both enthusiasts’ palates and industry critics.
Innovation, art, and taste: a complete experience
Ritual Lab goes beyond just brewing beer; it creates a whole universe that also involves culture and cuisine. Among the brewery’s strengths are:
- A 25-hectoliter automatic brewhouse, installed in 2019, which allowed a significant increase in production and exports to international markets, especially in Northern Europe.
- Ritual Tap Room, opened in 2020, an environment immersed in greenery where it is possible to taste beers directly on site, enjoying a 360-degree experience.
- The cultural project 'Birra e Arte' (Beer and Art), which involves local artists in creating unique and original labels, turning each bottle into a small work of art and promoting the territory in a new light.
- The gourmet restaurant Mogano, located near the brewery, which highlights local raw materials and fermentation with dishes specifically designed to pair with Ritual Lab’s beers.
Ritual Lab’s approach focuses on a perfect blend of tradition and modernity, a mix reflected not only in the product quality but also in the overall vision of the brand. Every beer tells a story, every detail is cared for, from the choice of ingredients to the design, up to the experience lived by those who approach this reality.
Those who visit Ritual Lab discover much more than just a brewery: they immerse themselves in a creative and dynamic community where innovation meets the Italian passion for quality and artisanal excellence.
