Orso Verde Brewery: Craftsmanship Excellence in the Heart of Busto Arsizio

Founded in 2004 from the passion and vision of Cesare Gualdoni, Orso Verde Brewery has established itself as one of the benchmarks of craft beer in Italy. Located at Via Magenta 55 in Busto Arsizio, in the province of Varese, the brewery transformed a former industrial area – the old Coca-Cola plant – into a modern and vibrant production facility where tradition and innovation meet.

Cesare Gualdoni, a self-taught and passionate brewer, enriched his skills with a training journey in Germany, home to some of the most deeply rooted brewing traditions in Europe. This experience influenced Orso Verde’s first creations, characterized by classic German styles, appreciated for their balance and authentic taste. Over time, however, his creativity pushed experimentation, leading to a range of beers that embrace bold and original proposals, capable of surprising even the most demanding palates.

Quality and Craftsmanship

The beers signed Orso Verde are made exclusively using artisanal methods, following strict criteria that guarantee their purity and genuineness. Among the main features:

Unfiltered and unpasteurized, to preserve the aromas and organoleptic properties of the raw materials;
Total absence of preservatives, which requires careful storage in a cool environment away from light;
Bottle refermentation process, which provides complexity and natural effervescence, while the canned version is designed to be more similar to draft beer.

These details help make every bottle an authentic and satisfying experience, capable of telling the passion and dedication of the brewer in every sip.
