OBL – Opificio Brassicolo Lametino: the heart of craft beer in Calabria
In the heart of Calabria, in Maida, province of Catanzaro, OBL – Opificio Brassicolo Lametino was born, an artisan microbrewery that since 2019 has been passionately dedicated to the art of brewing. Founded by Francesco Graziano, OBL began its journey as a beer firm, producing beers through third-party facilities, then inaugurated its own production space in 2020, thus creating an independent reality able to fully express its own identity and vision.
OBL’s mission is clear: to create high-quality craft beers, the result of meticulous care at every stage of the production process. Each beer tells a story, made of passion, territory, and traditional knowledge, an experience reflected in an original and fresh product, capable of standing out in the Italian craft beer scene.
Philosophy and production
OBL stands out for a philosophy oriented towards conviviality and the enhancement of brewing culture, with particular attention to quality and uniqueness. Beer production is deliberately limited, an aspect that ensures careful control over raw materials and the final result. This approach makes each beer special, a little masterpiece to be savored slowly and with dedication.
Among the most appreciated offerings are:
- Session IPA, with its floral and citrus aromas, light but rich in personality
- Belgian Pale Ale, a perfect balance between delicacy and fruity notes, which wins over the most discerning palates
The selection moves between classic styles and bolder interpretations, offering variety and always some surprises, ideal for beer lovers seeking originality without sacrificing tradition and quality.
An authentic experience between Tap Room and Beer Garden
Visiting OBL means immersing yourself in a welcoming and familiar environment, where it is possible to taste the beers directly in the brewery’s Tap Room and Beer Garden. These well-kept and relaxing spaces allow you to savor each beer accompanied by selections of local foods, often with Calabrian ingredients, to further enhance the flavors and make the experience even more authentic.
The strategic location of the brewery, just a few kilometers from the Lamezia Terme highway exit and near the Due Mari Shopping Center, makes OBL easily accessible, thus becoming a must-visit stop for those who want to discover and fully appreciate the ferment of the craft beer world in Southern Italy.
Anyone who wants to explore craft beer in Calabria cannot miss a visit to OBL, a place where passion translates into excellence, hospitality, and conviviality.
