The Magicians of Orz: The Farm Brewery That Celebrates Tradition and Territory
In the green heart of the Noale countryside, in the province of Venice, lies I Maghi di Orz, an artisanal farm brewery born in 2018 from the passion of Simone Squizzato. Here, brewing tradition intertwines with a love for the land and the use of high-quality local raw materials, giving life to unique and authentic beers capable of telling a story deeply rooted in the territory.
The breweryâs name evokes a magical and fairy-tale imagery, inspired by Baumâs famous tale, where beer becomes a symbol of a journey of discovery and taste. This philosophy is reflected in Simoneâs creations, ranging from reinterpretations of classic styles to original recipes designed to enhance the character of the ingredients and win over even the most demanding palates.
The Unique Taste of the Beers and the Sensory Experience
Among the specialties of I Maghi di Orz stands out Totò, an English-style Porter with an almost black dark brown color. This beer is distinguished by intense aromas of freshly ground coffee and bitter cocoa, the result of carefully roasted malts. Its low alcohol content and moderate carbonation make it particularly refreshing, ideal for those seeking a revitalizing but balanced sip.
Another creation not to be missed is Dorothy G.Ale, a German Ale with a bright golden yellow color and a white, persistent foam. On the nose, delicate floral and herbal notes can be perceived, while on the palate it offers a medium body with fruity hints and a slight acidity given by the addition of wheat. This combination provides a pleasant freshness and a perfect balance between sweetness and bitterness.
A Welcoming Environment and an Offering That Enhances the Territory
Visiting I Maghi di Orz means immersing yourself in a warm and family-like atmosphere, where you can taste artisanal beers accompanied by snacks prepared with genuine, zero-kilometer products. Among the specialties are platters of local cold cuts and cheeses, such as the flavorful caciotta and morlacco, ideal for enhancing the flavors of the beers and enjoying a complete gastronomic experience.
For those who desire an even deeper immersion into local cuisine, the brewery also offers CĂ dei Maghi, a home restaurant located a few kilometers from Noale. Here, in the comfort of an intimate and relaxed setting, it is possible to book a full dinner based on seasonal dishes paired with the beers produced on site. A perfect occasion to discover surprising pairings and celebrate conviviality with friends or family.
The essence of I Maghi di Orz is the combination of passion for craft beer and respect for the Venetian territory. Each bottle tells a story of care, research, and authenticity, an invitation to live a sensory experience that goes beyond mere tasting for those seeking quality and originality in the world of Italian craft beer.
