Bàgolo Social Brewery: Craft Beer and Social Inclusion in Monteforte d'Alpone
Located in the heart of Monteforte d'Alpone, in the province of Verona, Bàgolo Social Brewery is a striking example of how a passion for craft beer can combine with a strong and innovative social project. Founded in 2021 by the social cooperative Monteforte Il Fiore, this brewery was established with the goal of promoting not only quality production but above all a business model that enhances work and social inclusion.
The name Bàgolo, which in the Veronese dialect means 'complication,' summarizes the bold choice to take a more complex but valuable path: combining entrepreneurship with the development of the local community and the employment of people in vulnerable conditions. A journey that demonstrates how social responsibility can perfectly integrate with excellent artisanal production.
Careful and Responsible Craft Production
Bàgolo Social Brewery stands out for a diverse selection of craft beers ranging from classic styles to innovative creations. Among the most appreciated are:
- Session IPA 'Oh Issa!'
- Irish Red Ale 'Robin'
- German Ale 'Kolosso'
- Stout 'Torva'
Each beer is made using quality ingredients, favoring local suppliers and adopting sustainable practices. This approach not only ensures a genuine product with an authentic character but also supports the local economy, enhancing the excellences of the Verona area.
The brewery’s activity goes far beyond beer production. A distinctive element is the strong commitment to the employment inclusion of people with psychophysical disabilities or in socially disadvantaged situations. The production and packaging phases are designed to create an inclusive environment where participants can learn new roles and tasks, always supported by qualified staff. This cooperative work model generates a human value that makes the Bàgolo experience unique in the landscape of Italian microbreweries.
The facility is open to the public from Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and on Saturday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Those wishing to learn more about the beers or make purchases can contact the brewery directly.
In an area traditionally dominated by wine production, Bàgolo Social Brewery represents a breath of innovation and sustainability, capable of expressing the best of the Verona territory through a project that combines artisanal quality, social responsibility, and the valorization of people.
