Opificio Birrario: artisanal excellence in the heart of the Pisa Hills
Opificio Birrario is an artisan brewery located in Lorenzana, in the province of Pisa, known for its focus on quality and sustainability. Founded in 2013 by a group of friends driven by a passion for homebrewing, the brewery quickly established itself thanks to the exclusive use of organic and zero-kilometer ingredients, grown directly in its own fields, including high-quality cereals and hops. This approach not only guarantees genuine products but also emphasizes the importance of the connection with the Pisa and Tuscan territory.
Opificio Birrario's beers: a journey through tradition and biodiversity
Opificio Birrario’s products are strongly inspired by the nature and local wildlife of the Pisa Hills. The brewery’s mascot is the little owl, a symbol of wisdom and mystery, whose presence is also strongly reflected in the character of the beers offered. The range of products is wide and varied, reflecting different styles but always of high quality:
- Noctua: a Belgian Pale Ale with a balanced body and 5% alcohol content, perfect for those seeking delicacy and refreshing bitterness.
- Brama: Witbier at 5%, with a citrusy and spicy aroma that recalls the classic flavors of wheat and Mediterranean citrus fruits.
- Glaux: a Belgian Specialty Ale at 6.5%, known for its complex and enveloping aroma that captures the attention of every enthusiast.
- Odiosa: Bavarian Dunkelweizen at 5%, characterized by typical notes of banana, caramel, and clove, for a rich and satisfying tasting experience.
- Demetra: Golden Ale at 4.6%, a tribute to Tuscany, made exclusively with high-quality local raw materials.
In 2019, Opificio Birrario took a further step in its production philosophy by equipping itself with a cereal malting plant. This important innovation completed the production chain, highlighting the brewery’s commitment to ensuring total control over every stage of production, keeping short supply chains and environmental sustainability at the center.
The attention to quality is also reflected in the experience the brewery offers to visitors: it is possible to visit the facilities, discover the secrets of artisanal brewing, and taste all the beers produced live. An unmissable opportunity for those wishing to immerse themselves in the emerging Tuscan craft beer scene and get to know more closely a reality that combines passion, nature, and innovation.
