Lesster Craft Brewery: Tradition and Innovation in the Heart of Lessinia
In the enchanting mountainous landscape of Lessinia, just a few kilometers from Verona, Lesster was born—an independent craft brewery that has been celebrating the passion for quality beer and ancient artisanal traditions since 2012. Founded by a group of friends united by their love for genuine products, Lesster stands out for a production philosophy centered on naturalness and respect for the environment.
The brewery is located in Lugo di Grezzana, a small town nestled in a green and uncontaminated area, known for its pure and crystalline springs—an essential element for obtaining beers with authentic aroma and unmistakable freshness. Every stage of production is carefully managed with rigor and attention, using only selected raw materials and traditional processes, such as bottle refermentation, which guarantees completely natural carbonation without resorting to filtering or aggressive pasteurization.
Excellent Beers and Commitment to Sustainability
Lesster's creations represent the perfect blend of brewing tradition and innovation. Among the most beloved labels are “Angiolina”, a Strong Scotch Ale aged for four months in rum barrels releasing intense and complex notes, and “Contrabbandiera”, which rests for the same period in Amarone barrels, offering enveloping aromas and a bold character. These beers have won prestigious awards, testifying to the excellence achieved within the Italian brewing scene.
A fundamental aspect of Lesster’s identity is its focus on environmental sustainability: the brewery uses exclusively 100% renewable energy, a concrete commitment to preserving the health of the territory and reducing ecological impact. This respect for nature is also reflected in the choice of eco-friendly production processes and the enhancement of local raw materials.
An Experience Beyond Beer
Beyond production, Lesster promotes beer culture through the Lesster Beer Academy, an educational and sensory journey designed to bring enthusiasts and newcomers closer to the world of craft beer. The offering includes courses, tastings, and guided tours, both in-person and online, aimed at groups and companies with the goal of sharing the passion for this beverage and its cultural roots.
Lesster’s proposal is thus much more than just beer: it is a complete experience that engages all the senses, a journey through authentic flavors and stories of territory, sustainability, and craftsmanship. Every bottle tells the commitment of a group of people who have chosen to make beer an art to be lived with pleasure and awareness.
