Busa dei Briganti: Tradition and Innovation in the Euganean Hills
In the green heart of the Euganean Hills, in Cinto Euganeo, stands the Busa dei Briganti Agricultural Brewery, a microbrewery that has managed to combine a passion for tradition with a constant pursuit of innovation. Founded in 2016 as a beer firm and active in production since 2019, this brewery is distinguished by its attention to quality and freshness, thanks to a modern 12-hectoliter brewing system and a cellar with a capacity of 600 hectoliters.
The name Busa dei Briganti is inspired by a hidden cave nearby, the 'Buso dei briganti,' a historical refuge for outlaw bands. This evocation highlights the mysterious and unique character of the beers produced, able to tell deep and authentic stories through their intense and original flavor.
From Field to Glass: The Brewery’s Philosophy
What makes Busa dei Briganti special lies in its philosophy of “from the field to the mug,” which translates into total control over the entire production chain. The company directly cultivates barley and other cereals on its own land situated between plain and hillside, thus ensuring a short supply chain that guarantees superior quality and authenticity in the final product. This agricultural approach makes the brewery a virtuous example of sustainability and genuineness.
The production offers a constantly evolving range of beers, made both according to classic styles and inspired by modern trends, such as:
- Terremoto: a 6.5% ABV DDH American IPA rich in citrus and tropical aromas;
- Paciana: a 7.5% ABV Belgian Strong Ale with complex and rounded nuances;
- Eva K: a 4.3% ABV Keller Pils, light yet full-bodied, perfect for those seeking freshness and balance.
For those who love novel tastes, the brewery also offers limited editions called B Lab, born from small experiments and production tests. Among these stands out Estaciòn Esperanza, a 5.2% ABV Mexican IPA enriched with exotic ingredients such as guajillo chiles and epazote, which provide a spicy and surprising finish.
Beyond production, Busa dei Briganti is strongly committed to promoting beer culture and enhancing the local territory. It organizes events, guided tastings, and workshops, offering visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in the fascinating world of craft beer and discover its secrets.
Visiting Busa dei Briganti therefore means not only tasting high-quality beers but also experiencing an authentic journey that tells the story and passion of a territory rich in biodiversity and unique food and wine traditions.
