Contempo Brewery: The Art of Craft Beer in the Heart of the Telesina Valley
In the picturesque landscape of the Telesina Valley, more precisely in Ponte, in the province of Benevento, you will find Contempo Brewery, a brewery that, since its establishment in 2023, has established itself as one of the most interesting realities on the Campanian brewing scene. Born from the passion and experience of the founders of Saint John’s and Bonavena breweries, Contempo Brewery chose to develop the spaces and equipment of the famous Malto Vivo brewery, a true pioneer in craft beer production in Campania.
This choice is not only a sign of respect for tradition but also a springboard towards a contemporary reinterpretation of the great European brewing legends. From here comes the identity of Contempo Brewery, which is exclusively dedicated to top-fermented beers, masterpieces of taste designed for those seeking an authentic and refined experience.
Beers and Production Philosophy: Quality and Passion in the Glass
Contempo Brewery’s product range truly represents its philosophy: rediscovering classic methods but reinterpreting them according to a modern and personal style. Each creation carries with it a unique story and character, thanks also to the tireless work of Vincenzo Cillo, the brewmaster who with artisanal expertise brings these excellences to life.
Among the most significant offerings are:
- Controra: an Altbier reminiscent of traditional Düsseldorf beers, skillfully balancing malt and hops for a harmonious and enveloping sip.
- Astra: a complex and intriguing Belgian Tripel, characterized by intense aromas with fruity and spicy notes that captivate from the first taste.
- Primaluce: a light German-inspired beer, fresh and easy to drink, perfect for those who enjoy high drinkability without sacrificing depth of flavor.
Each of these beers is a small sensory journey, born from the combination of quality ingredients and respect for the purest fermentation techniques. The desire to combine tradition and innovation is the foundation of Contempo Brewery’s success, which proudly carries forward an artisanal project made of research, method, and heart.
Located at Via di Valle Romana, 20 in Ponte (BN), the brewery has become an indispensable point of reference for craft beer lovers in Campania, capable of combining territory, history, and innovation in every product.
