BAdeF: The Craft Brewery in the Heart of Franciacorta
In the picturesque territory of Franciacorta, in Rodengo Saiano, the BAdeF Craft Brewery was born, a reality that skillfully combines passion, tradition, and innovation in the world of craft beer. Founded in 2011 by Giordano Manessi and Sergio Assoni, BAdeF has its roots in homebrewing, a hobby that turned into a professional challenge capable of enhancing local excellences. The very name of the brewery, an acronym for Birrificio Artigianale della Franciacorta, emphasizes the strong connection with the territory and its brewing vocation.
BAdeF’s production philosophy aims to preserve the authentic flavors and natural aromas of the beers, thanks to a process that avoids filtrations and pasteurizations. This choice results in products with a unique character and high quality, where meticulous attention to raw materials plays a fundamental role.
