Birrificio 26 Nero: The Heart of Tuscan Craft Beer
Located in Poggibonsi, in the picturesque territory of the province of Siena, Birrificio 26 Nero represents one of the most authentic and appreciated realities in the Tuscan microbrewery scene. Founded in 2011 from an idea by Fabio Massellucci and Luca Rotolo, the brewery has managed to combine local brewing tradition with an innovative spirit, becoming an essential point of reference for craft beer lovers.
A fundamental step in the growth of 26 Nero was in 2016, the year in which the merge with Arribal brewery allowed them to have their own production facility, enabling a broader production and even more rigorous control over product quality. This choice led the brewery to adopt attentive and respectful production methods: all beers are top-fermented, unpasteurized, and bottle-conditioned. They are free from additives and preservatives, to guarantee a pure and authentic taste experience.
