DuLac Craft Brewery: the beer heart of Lake Como
Located in Galbiate, in the heart of the province of Lecco, DuLac Craft Brewery was founded in 2014 by a group of friends united by their passion for beer and love for the Lake Como area. This family-run business today stands as a shining example of how tradition and territory can authentically merge, creating unique craft beers that carry the soul of the local culture.
The brewery takes its name from the local dialect, âlaghÃĐe,â which is also reflected in all of its beer labels, emphasizing the strong connection to Leccoâs roots. Situated at Via delle Bazzone 2/A, DuLac enjoys a panoramic location between Lake Annone and the Lecco branch of Lake Como, an environment that helps create a product that is a direct expression of this picturesque corner of Lombardy.
Quality, territory, and passion in every beer
The strength of DuLac Brewery lies in the excellent selection of raw materials, with a marked preference for local and organic ingredients. Among these stand out organic linden honey and dried chestnuts from the upper lake area, which give its brews a distinctive and profound character. This approach not only highlights the authentic flavors of the territory but also supports small local producers, creating a virtuous and environmentally respectful network of collaboration.
DuLacâs beer range spans from classic styles to innovative creations, satisfying every palate and occasion:
- Fresh and delicate Weiss beers, perfect for summer
- IPAs with their characteristic bold bitterness
- IGA beers, made with the addition of grape must, blending the worlds of beer and winemaking tradition
- Spiced and warm Christmas beers, ideal for the holidays
Among the most celebrated beers is âLa Bianchina,â a blanche that won the prestigious Golden Hop award in 2016, and âLa Maron,â a chestnut specialty ale that earned third place in the same yearâs edition of Birra dellâAnno.
Beyond production, DuLac Brewery stands out as a gathering place for craft beer enthusiasts: at its premises, it is possible to purchase beers directly and participate in special events and workshops dedicated to beer culture. Sharing moments such as the tenth anniversary celebration, which combined tastings, live music, and educational activities, reaffirm DuLacâs commitment not only as a producer but also as a true point of reference for the local community and beer lovers.
DuLac Craft Brewery thus perfectly embodies the spirit of Lake Como, turning the passion for beer into an emotional journey through taste, history, and breathtaking landscapes.
