LZO Brewery: Craftsmanship Excellence in the Heart of Conegliano
In the enchanting setting of Conegliano, a city renowned for its historic wine tradition, the craft brewery LZO was founded in 2016 by Jacopo Lorenzetto. Graduated in law in Milan, Jacopo managed to transform his passion for beer into a project rooted in the richness of the Veneto territory, aiming to create authentic, high-quality beers deeply connected to the region.
Production and Philosophy: Tradition and Innovation
The strength of LZO Brewery lies in a production philosophy that skillfully combines tradition and innovation. The brewery stands out for the direct cultivation of barley and wheat, a strategic choice that ensures maximum control over the quality of raw materials. This approach not only enhances local agriculture but also allows offering fresh, genuine products characterized by a unique flavor, an authentic expression of the Veneto terroir.
LZOâs production is articulated into various offerings capable of satisfying even the most demanding palates. Among the permanent beers stand out:
- Cima: a Golden Ale made exclusively with pils malt from local barley, recognizable for its sharp initial bitterness and a soft, balanced aftertaste.
- Riot Ale: an amber ale with high fermentation, which modernly reinterprets the California Common style thanks to an intense and aromatically decisive hopping.
- Candice: a wheat beer with fresh and spicy notes, enriched with coriander, orange peel, juniper berries, chamomile flowers, and wood sorrel, perfect for those seeking a refreshing and complex drink.
- Baal: a clear and intense Belgian Ale, where fragrant notes derived from five different malts and the traditional yeast used blend, offering a powerful olfactory experience.
In 2018, LZO introduced an important innovation in packaging, switching from bottles to cans. This choice, besides improving the beerâs preservation through complete protection from oxygen and UV rays, reduces environmental impact thanks to 100% recyclable ease. The can, lighter and more manageable, cools quickly and optimizes transportation and storage operations.
Continuous Innovation and Experimentation
In addition to its stable range, the brewery also offers the 'Drop Out' line, a series of limited editions born from a constant desire to experiment with new styles and flavor combinations. This ongoing research keeps enthusiastsâ enthusiasm alive and underlines LZOâs dynamism and creativity.
Located at Via Camillo Vazzoler 30/A in Conegliano, LZO Brewery is easily accessible for those wishing to discover artisan production processes, immersing themselves in an authentic and engaging experience. An example of how passion, innovation, and territorial roots can give life to a unique product, capable of best representing the Italian craft beer scene.
