J4 Brewery: The Excellence of Craft Beer in Calabria
Located in Caulonia Marina, in the province of Reggio Calabria, J4 Brewery is a true point of reference for craft beer enthusiasts in Southern Italy. Founded in 2017 by two friends driven by a great passion for brewing, this brewery perfectly embodies the meeting of local tradition and innovation in the world of beer. Its location, at Via Allaro 2, welcomes visitors and the curious who wish to discover the beating heart of Calabrian brewing culture.
The J4 Brewery logo is a symbolic tribute to the history and culture of Calabria: it elegantly depicts a fluted column segment topped with a Corinthian capital, which together form the image of a beer mug. Next to it, a closed hand simulates the grip on the glass handle, evoking a strong and authentic connection with the territory and its roots.
