Il Mastio Brewery: Craft Excellence in the Marche
Located in Colmurano, in the heart of the province of Macerata, Il Mastio Brewery represents a true flagship of artisanal production in the Marche region. Founded in 2012 by brothers Lorenzo and Sebastiano Nabissi, the brewery is named after the main tower of the medieval castle of Urbisaglia, a powerful symbol that reflects the deep roots of this land rich in history and tradition.
A Commitment to Quality and the Territory
What sets Il Mastio apart is undoubtedly its completely artisanal approach, which is evident from the selection of raw materials. The brewery directly cultivates organic barley on adjacent lands, essential for a production that today boasts over 70% of self-produced organic raw materials. This strong connection to the territory allows control over every stage of the production process, thus ensuring superior quality beers.
Il Mastio’s beers are the result of a skillful balance between tradition and innovation, with a marked inspiration from Belgian brewing techniques, but also Nordic and American influences. Among the most appreciated creations are:
- The Real IGA, offered in three versions: classic, spontaneously fermented, and barrel-aged in barriques.
- The Belgian Strong Ale 'Drum Barrel', aged in barrels that previously held Merlot wine grapes, adding complexity and a bold character.
Unique Experiences and Hospitality
For enthusiasts eager to discover the world of craft beer up close, Il Mastio offers guided tours inside the brewery, an unmissable opportunity to learn the secrets of brewing. Tastings are often paired with local typical products, enhancing the extraordinary food and wine offerings of the Marche region.
Next to the brewery is the restaurant-brewery Statale 78, a modern and welcoming environment where you can enjoy craft beers at the table accompanied by carefully prepared dishes made with high-quality raw materials, selected from local producers and organic farms. The venue is open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 7:00 PM to 2:00 AM, becoming an evening reference point for lovers of good beer and genuine cuisine.
Il Mastio Brewery continues to strengthen its position in the Italian beer scene thanks to careful artisanal craftsmanship, the enhancement of the Marche territory, and an offering that links tradition, passion, and innovation. A place where every sip tells a story, that of a land rich in identity and authentic flavors.
