Almond '22 Brewery: Artisan Passion in the Heart of Abruzzo

The Almond '22 Brewery is located in Loreto Aprutino, in the province of Pescara, and is one of the most interesting players in the Italian craft beer scene. Founded in 2003, this Abruzzese microbrewery stands out for producing high-quality beers made using traditional methods and with great attention to raw materials. The name itself, Almond '22, pays homage to the history of the place: in 1922, the building housed a workshop for processing almonds, an iconic ingredient of Abruzzo’s pastry tradition.

Quality and Tradition: The Magic Behind Every Beer

The value of Almond '22 lies in its production philosophy: all beers are unpasteurized and unfiltered, undergoing a secondary fermentation directly in the bottle. This artisanal process endows the beers with a unique aromatic complexity and superior natural shelf life. The brewery uses only high-quality raw materials, carefully selected and sourced from sustainable and fair trade farming.

Among the main ingredients are:

Premium malts and hops
Selected spices
Raw cane sugar
Honey harvested in the Abruzzo mountains
Pure water from Farindola springs, free of chemical additives or preservatives

The combination of these elements contributes to an authentic product, capable of telling the story of the territory in every sip.

A Range of Beers with a Distinctive Character

The Almond '22 catalog is broad and varied, designed to satisfy the most demanding and curious palates. The types range from pale to dark beers, from ambers to IPAs, each with a distinctive and refined aromatic profile. Here are some of the most appreciated beers:

Boogeyman: a dark beer with a spicy character and notes of green pepper
Braveheart: imperial lager with low fermentation, featuring delicate balsamic nuances
Blanche de Valerie: pale ale with top fermentation, fresh and fragrant
Farrotta and 45 Lune: light beers with spelt and honey, enhancing sweetness and smoothness
Pink IPA: innovative IPA flavored with pink pepper
Torbata: dark copper-colored barley wine with an intense and enveloping structure
Noa: strong amber ale, robust and full-bodied

Each label is the result of continuous research and creativity, combining brewing tradition with experimentation.

Almond '22 TapRoom: A Sensory Laboratory in the Heart of the Brewery

Behind every bottle is the passionate work of Jurij Ferri, the brewmaster, and his team, who with dedication carry forward a project that expresses the best of Italian craftsmanship and the richness of the Abruzzese territory.
