Birrificio La Casa di Cura: Craftsmanship in the Heart of the Abruzzo Apennines

In the evocative setting of the Abruzzo Apennines, in Senarica, a hamlet of the municipality of Crognaleto in the province of Teramo, lies Birrificio La Casa di Cura, a gem of Italian brewing art born from the shared passion of four friends: Luigi Recchiuti, Alfredo Giugno, Loreto Lamolinara, and Tonino Ventilii. Founded in 2013, this microbrewery stands out for its attention to detail and commitment to enhancing local raw materials, creating beers that tell stories of authenticity and connection with nature.

The name itself, La Casa di Cura, evokes an original concept: beer interpreted as a “natural therapy.” The idea of offering a healthy beverage, capable of preserving vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants thanks to its unfiltered and unpasteurized production, represents a production philosophy that goes against the grain of the industrial world. Here, beer is understood as a natural remedy, able to combine pleasure and well-being.

The Beers and the Production Philosophy

The brewery uses a system with a capacity of 6 hectoliters per batch, ensuring a total annual production of around 400 hectoliters. An essential element for quality is the water, sourced from the nearby Fonte Mercurio, at 1,759 meters above sea level: an extremely pure water, with low hardness and low limestone content, ideal for producing beers with a clear and light character.

The production includes different lines of beers, each with unique characteristics:

  • Classics: top-fermented beers ranging among highly appreciated styles such as IPA, Saison, Tripel, and Brown Ale.
  • Colla-Brew: taste experiments made with particular ingredients, including fruit, herbs, and spices gathered directly from nature.
  • One-Shot: limited edition productions presenting new interpretations and bold flavor combinations.

Among the most emblematic is the T.S.O. (Trattamento Sanitario Obbligatorio - Compulsory Health Treatment), an American IPA distinguished by its continuously evolving recipe. Each version starts from a strict base — a single malt type, one variety of hop, and a “guest star” such as apple, fir needles, or lemon verbena — to offer a new and surprising experience every time.

A distinctive touch of the brewery is also given by the bottle labels, which are inspired by hospital treatments, inserting an element of irony and originality that testifies to the founders’ creative and unconventional approach, capable of offering not only high-quality beers but also an engaging visual and cultural experience.

Birrificio La Casa di Cura is recognized as one of the excellences in the Italian brewing scene, repeatedly awarded by the Slow Food Guide to Italian Beers precisely for the balance between quality, innovation, and respect for local traditions.

For those wishing to immerse themselves fully in the world of La Casa di Cura, the Open Days represent an excellent opportunity to taste the beers accompanied by typical Abruzzo products in a welcoming and authentic atmosphere, where beer culture blends with the unspoiled landscape surrounding the brewery.
