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.
Characterful Beers and Authentic Tastings
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.
- Chestnut Beer: a specialty that blends the brewing tradition with the sweet and smooth flavor of typical Abruzzo chestnuts.
The brewery welcomes enthusiasts with a dedicated tasting room, where it is possible to explore the variety of beers through guided tastings. Furthermore, events such as the “Picnic Day” and the “Great Picnic” 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.
For those who want to bring a piece of Abruzzo home, Maiella Brewery offers an online shop with various options: 33cl and 75cl bottles, mixed cartons, gift packs, and special beers such as the “Bucefalo di Natale” or the gluten-free beer “Emres.” Shipping is free for orders over 90 euros, while for the provinces of Chieti and Pescara, a paid direct delivery service is active.
