Birrificio del Gargano: the brewing art in the heart of Gargano
In the picturesque village of Carpino, nestled within the Gargano National Park, stands Birrificio del Gargano, a craft brewery that proudly carries the banner of quality beer Made in Puglia. Founded by engineer Alberto Maccarone, a home brewing enthusiast, this brewery is deeply rooted in local tradition, managing to best express the essence of the territory thanks to a 12-hectoliter system that allows for limited but extremely carefully crafted production.
The beers produced here tell stories of authentic flavors and carefully selected ingredients. Among the brewery’s most famous creations stand out three labels that represent perfect examples of style and innovation:
- Folk: a Special Bitter with an opaque golden color and orange highlights, capable of enchanting with its rich and spicy aroma. Its balanced taste makes it ideal for those seeking a beer with a decisive yet refined character.
- Nacchera: a Smoked Stout, smoky, intense and deep, where roasted malts blend with notes of coffee and chocolate, offering a unique and intense tasting experience.
- Tammorra: a rare and complex beer, aged in oak barrels that give it a robust and multifaceted temperament, perfect for enthusiasts looking for new sensations.
A commitment to quality and the territory
Birrificio del Gargano is not only synonymous with brewing excellence but also a virtuous example of enhancing local resources. The collaboration with the Gargano Citrus Protection Consortium and the use of grains from the Zilletta farm in Brancia demonstrate the desire to support the territory and practice a production that respects environmental sustainability.
The brewery, located at Via Roma 110 in Carpino, welcomes visitors in an informal and accessible setting, designed to offer moments of authentic tasting. It is possible to savor the beers directly on-site or purchase them to enjoy their distinctive character at home.
Moreover, each beer is accompanied by a detailed description that reveals its organoleptic characteristics and suggests the best pairings, an added value for those who wish to explore taste with awareness.
Thanks to numerous awards received, such as first place in the “Special Bitter” and “Smoked Beer” categories, Birrificio del Gargano confirms itself as an essential reference point for craft beer enthusiasts, able to combine passion, tradition, and innovation in every sip.
