Orzo Bruno: Artisanal Excellence in the Heart of Tuscany

Orzo Bruno is a craft brewery founded in 2003 by a group of friends with an agricultural background, driven by a great passion for beer and quality. Their journey began with the renovation of an old estate in the center of Pisa, transformed into the characteristic Pub Orzo Bruno. At the same time, a 1000-liter production facility was established in Bientina, in the province of Pisa, which remains the beating heart of the beer production today.

The brewery stands out for a clear philosophy: focusing on limited productions and maintaining a strictly artisanal approach at every stage, from the selection of raw materials to the pouring. Every beer is born from meticulous attention to genuine ingredients, respect for the staff who work with passion, and a deep commitment to environmental sustainability.

A Team of True Enthusiasts

The success of Orzo Bruno is the result of the work of a close-knit team made up of Giuppe, Rosa, Alessio, Francesco, Livio, and Davide, each with a fundamental role in the creation of every beer. Among them stands out Rosa Gravina, one of the first female brewers in Italy, with significant training experience including the Birrificio Lambrate in Milan.

The Orzo Bruno Experience: Tastings and Venues

For those who want to discover the behind-the-scenes of production, Orzo Bruno offers guided tours of the brewery, during which it is possible not only to explore the production room but also to taste malts, smell fresh hops, and sample different beers directly from the producer.

The Orzo Bruno world does not stop at production: they also manage several venues between Pisa and Bientina, such as the Pub Orzo Bruno, the Garden, and The Factory. These spaces combine a welcoming atmosphere with a kitchen attentive to quality and local ingredients, perfect companions to artisanal beers.

The Range of Craft Beers

Orzo Bruno offers a selection of beers with distinct characters, designed to satisfy the most demanding tastes:

Martesana – delicate and balanced blonde ale
Wombat – rich and aromatic India Pale Ale
Gorgona – strong Belgian-style ale with a decisive character

Moreover, during special events such as the Beer Festival organized together with the ARCI L’Ortaccio Circle, it is possible to taste exclusive beers like Vico, a balanced pale beer with extracts of myrtle and immortelle from the Pisa mountains, ideal for those seeking authentic and unique flavors.

Orzo Bruno is much more than a simple brewery: it is a point of reference in the Tuscan craft beer scene, capable of combining tradition, innovation, and profound respect for raw materials. Anyone who loves good craft beer finds in Orzo Bruno a complete experience, to be enjoyed both at the bar and during visits to the producer.
