2 Sisters Brewery - Craft Excellence in the Heart of the Langhe
In the enchanting territory of the Langhe, precisely in Santo Stefano Belbo, lies 2 Sisters Brewery, founded in 2011 thanks to the initiative of Federica and Elisa Toso. The project took shape from the restoration of an ancient stone farmhouse dating back to the first half of the 19th century, located on the left bank of the Belbo stream. After nearly two years of careful work, production began in 2014 with a clear mission: to create high-quality craft beers respecting local traditions and the surrounding territory.
The facility, set up within the farmhouse, includes a modern 20-hectoliter brewhouse with three mash tuns and 40-hectoliter fermenters, supported by a state-of-the-art bottling line. A distinctive feature of the brewery is its commitment to a short supply chain: two-row barley is cultivated on the adjacent land, an essential ingredient for malting and consequently for beer production. This choice demonstrates attention to enhancing local resources, a concrete commitment that goes far beyond mere production.
A Sustainable Approach and Signature Beers
2 Sisters Brewery also stands out for its deep respect for the environment. A 20 KWP photovoltaic system installed on the company roof covers the energy needs of the production cycle. For heating, a biomass boiler is used, fueled by wood from the surrounding forests and pruning from the owned vineyards. In the disposal process, the presence of an active sludge purification plant ensures fully eco-friendly wastewater treatment.
The range of beers offered is broad and varied, designed to meet the tastes of every enthusiast, with a perfect balance between tradition and experimentation:
- Naif: Zwickelbier, light and refreshing, perfect for summer.
- Sister Ale: Farmhouse Ale with spicy and fruity notes, featuring a bold character.
- Special: Complex Saison, enriched with intense and subtle aromatic profiles.
- Amber Ale: Bière de Garde with an amber color, malt-forward and enveloping taste.
- Hella Hop: American IPA with pronounced bitterness and intense citrus aromas.
- Wahida: Light Blanche, soft and thirst-quenching, ideal for any occasion.
2 Sisters’ production tells a story of passion and authenticity, where each beer carries a piece of the territory and a rigorous choice of ingredients. Their commitment is reflected in the final quality, able to appeal both to connoisseurs and to those approaching the world of Italian craft beers for the first time.
