Epica Brewery: Craft Excellence in the Heart of the Nebrodi Mountains
In the picturesque village of Sinagra, nestled within the lush setting of the Nebrodi Mountains in the province of Messina, Epica Brewery was born, a craft reality that since 2013 has stood out for the high quality of its beers and the authenticity of its Sicilian roots. Founded by three friends – Elio, Piero, and Carmelo – united by a decade-long passion for the world of beer, Epica represents a true triumph: creating excellent craft beer in a land traditionally devoted to wine production.
A Philosophy Deeply Rooted in the Territory
The distinctive character of Epica Brewery comes from meticulous attention to raw materials, all carefully selected and, where possible, locally sourced and exceptionally fresh. This approach allows the creation of beers that are not just products but also living stories of Sicilian culture and history. Each Epica creation is inspired by a deity from classical mythology, paying tribute to tradition and innovation in a rich and engaging tasting experience.
