Birra de' Neri: artisanal excellence in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma
In the heart of the splendid Tuscan Maremma, in Monterotondo Marittimo, lies Birra de' Neri, a craft brewery that perfectly embodies the blend of agricultural tradition and innovation in the brewing world. Founded in 2012 by Francesco Neri, this project stems from a family history rooted in cereal cultivation for three generations. Located within the San Ottaviano farmhouse in the Massoni area, the brewery represents a natural evolution of the Neri family’s work, who chose to transform their home-grown barley into beer of extraordinary quality.
What makes Birra de' Neri unique is the constant attention to the short supply chain and the genuineness of the raw materials: the barley used comes exclusively from the family’s own fields. This approach guarantees a product that is not only local but also eco-sustainable and full of character. Production is around 20,000 liters per year, with ambitious growth plans to reach 30,000 liters, always keeping craft care and respect for the territory at the center.
The beers and the gastronomic experience
The range of Birra de' Neri beers stands out for originality and character, offering several options designed to satisfy the most discerning palates:
- La Bionda: an American Pale Ale with a golden color and balanced taste, perfect for those who love freshness and drinkability.
- La Rossa: a Belgian Pale Ale with spicy and aromatic hints, ideal for those who appreciate beers with complex and nuanced profiles.
- La Tipa: an India Pale Ale with an intense aromatic profile and a well-defined bitter aftertaste, dedicated to lovers of full-bodied and fragrant beers.
In addition to craft production, Birra de' Neri offers a complete food and wine experience within the San Ottaviano farmhouse, through the La Grattella restaurant. Here, the cuisine enhances local products in perfect harmony with the beers produced on-site, proposing dishes such as:
- The organic chicken with our beer, tender and fragrant;
- The beer tiramisu, an innovative and surprising dessert that has won over many visitors.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and family-like, cherished by those seeking a place where nature and tradition meet, offering an authentic and engaging culinary experience.
Birra de' Neri tells the story of the passion and dedication of a family deeply connected to their land, capable of transforming simple ingredients into superior quality products, carrying on a tradition that looks to the future with enthusiasm.
