Donkey Beer: the artisanal excellence of Atri
Located in the heart of Atri, in the province of Teramo, Donkey Beer is an artisan microbrewery founded in 2014 from the passion of Alfonso Carullo, an expert brewer, and Manuela Poliandri. This reality has quickly established itself in recent years as a reference point for those seeking high-quality beers that combine tradition, creativity, and a touch of originality.
The microbrewery stands out for its ability to explore different beer styles, ranging from classic recipes to more experimental ones. The love for cinema becomes a source of inspiration for some of the names and characteristics of these beers, creating a unique link between popular culture and brewing production.
Donkey Beerâs flagship beers
Among the most appreciated creations are beers that tell different stories, each with its own well-defined personality:
- Red Mamba: a Dubbel with a sweet and fruity character, enriched with the addition of sour cherries that give depth and smoothness to the taste.
- IPAnema: an IPA capable of combining classic intense bitterness with tropical aromas, ideal for those who love bold but balanced beers.
- UMA Pils: a fresh and light Pilsner, perfect for those seeking simplicity and drinkability without giving up quality.
- Bianca Avvelenata: a Witbier characterized by spicy and citrusy aromas, offering a sophisticated and refreshing sensory experience.
- Arance Meccaniche: an American Pale Ale enriched with oranges from Fossacesia, which gives a citrusy and vibrant touch, a true tribute to the Abruzzo territory.
The choice of names, such as the evocative Arance Meccaniche, is not accidental: many are inspired by films and cultural references that Alfonso and Manuela passionately cultivate, thus creating a narrative atmosphere that makes every sip a unique moment.
Relying on selected ingredients and careful processing, Donkey Beer manages to combine innovation and respect for tradition, offering the public not just beers, but true signature products. Each label tells a sensory journey that crosses authentic flavors and top-quality ingredients, enhancing the richness and variety of the Italian craft brewing scene.
Donkey Beer therefore represents a dynamic and authentic reality, a microbrewery appreciated for its ability to surprise while always maintaining high quality, a true example of the best brewing production in the Abruzzo region.
