Irias Beer: the authentic craft beer from the heart of Sicily
In the picturesque landscape of Torrenova, in the province of Messina, Irias Beer was born, a craft microbrewery that since 2013 has stood out for producing beers with a unique character, born from a deep family passion and an unbreakable bond with the Sicilian territory. Located at Via Rosmarino 84, Irias Beer welcomes those who wish to discover the artisanal production process and taste creations that tell the story and culture of Sicily in every sip.
The history of this company dates back to 1994, when a group of friends with a great passion for beer decided to experiment and create their own recipes. This enthusiasm came to fruition in 2013 with the official founding of the brewery, which took an important step forward in 2017 by becoming an agricultural company. This choice allowed the integration of the entire production chain, cultivating barley and wheat directly on the owned land, thus guaranteeing a zero kilometer beer, authentic and strongly connected to the territory.
Passion, innovation, and a range of unique beers
At the heart of Irias Beer is brewmaster Salvatore 'Turuzzo' Blandi, an agronomist and passionate brewer, who with his experience has brought the brewery to receive national and international recognition. Among the flagship beers are:
- Rubra, an IPA awarded in 2014 with the “Everyday Beer” recognition;
- Nigra, an Imperial Stout that won the gold medal at the 2015 Concours International de Lyon;
- Indica, a fruit beer made with prickly pear, an homage to the typical aromas of Sicily;
- Cincu Tummina, a Sicilian Wheat Ale produced with five varieties of ancient Sicilian grains, awarded the Golden Hop in 2021 as the best ancient grain beer.
Irias Beer is synonymous with quality, innovation, and respect for the territory. The use of carefully selected local ingredients is a distinctive element, as is the continuous experimentation with new flavors and production techniques, making each beer an original and genuine experience.
The brewery warmly welcomes visitors to its space, where it is possible to taste draft and bottled beers, accompanied by local products that enrich the discovery of the territory. For those who wish to take the Sicilian taste with them, the online shop allows you to purchase and conveniently receive Irias beers at home, keeping the connection to Sicily alive wherever you are.
Irias Beer thus confirms itself as a true ambassador of Sicilian craft beer, able to unite tradition, territory, and innovation in a blend of authentic and passionate flavors.
