Sicilian Brewing Workshop: Craft Excellence in Acireale

In the heart of Acireale, in the province of Catania, lies Sicilian Brewing Workshop (O.B.S.), a craft brewery distinguished by its dedication to quality and authenticity. Founded by two young enthusiasts, O.B.S. is committed to creating unique beers made exclusively with natural ingredients and traditional production methods that respect the genuineness of the product.

O.B.S.’s Production Philosophy and Beers

The production process at Sicilian Brewing Workshop is based on principles of purity and respect for the environment. The beers are neither pasteurized nor filtered and contain no preservatives or chemical stabilizers, a choice that ensures an intense and authentic taste. Each bottle undergoes secondary fermentation using an ancient German technique, which imparts body, complexity, and durability to the beverage, clearly distinguishing O.B.S. beers in the Italian beer scene.

Among the labels that best represent the brewery, notable are:

• Rais: a Strong Scotch Ale (Wee Heavy) with a bold character and 7% alcohol content;
• Criata: a Bavarian Weizen with a soft and aromatic flavor, 5.5% alcohol content;
• Sciuscià: a fresh and vibrant American Pale Ale, with 5% alcohol content.

This variety demonstrates the brewery’s ability to span different styles while always maintaining high quality and respect for the raw materials.

Environmental Commitment and Visitor Experience

Beyond production care, Sicilian Brewing Workshop stands out for a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. The brewery promotes sustainable development practices and values recycling and the use of local raw materials, thus contributing to the protection of the Sicilian territory.
