Bærtiis Craft Brewery: Excellence and Tradition in Novara
The Bærtiis Craft Brewery, located at Via Marie Curie 13b in Novara, represents a dynamic and innovative presence in the vibrant Piedmont craft beer scene. Founded on January 9, 2019, by Andrea Bertero, the brewery stands out for its great attention to quality and its ability to combine international brewing traditions with a distinctive Italian touch.
This passion is reflected in each of its beers, characterized by carefully selected raw materials and a skillful balance between innovation and respect for traditional brewing art. Bærtiis Brewery has quickly gained recognition thanks to products that tell the story and territory of Novara, offering original and satisfying taste experiences.
Signature Beers and International Awards
Among its most iconic creations is the Audax, a rice Blanche distinguished by its delicate bergamot aroma. This light, top-fermented beer features a medium body and an aromatic profile where sweetness and a slight bitter note harmoniously blend. Ideal for those who enjoy pairing craft beers with light summer dishes based on white meats or fish, Audax is a perfect example of how tradition and innovation can successfully coexist.
Another flagship beer of the brewery is the Fuscus, a Tripel inspired by Belgian brewing techniques. Originally blonde, Fuscus is transformed into an amber beer through the use of cane sugar, which also imparts a characteristic licorice scent. With its 9.5% alcohol content, this beer is an ideal accompaniment to hearty winter dishes such as rich cold cuts and aged cheeses.
The value of Bærtiis beers has been internationally recognized, with a gold medal won by Fuscus in 2021 at the International Competition in Lyon and a silver medal awarded to Audax, confirming the brewery’s production excellence.
