San Bull Brewery: Tradition and Passion in the Heart of the Alcantara Valley

In the picturesque village of Francavilla di Sicilia, located at Via S. Antonio 33, San Bull Brewery stands out as a true gem in the landscape of Sicilian craft microbreweries. Founded in 2015, this brewery was born from the desire to tell the story of beer through great artisanal care and a deep connection to European tradition, particularly Belgian and English.

The production philosophy of San Bull Brewery is based on attention to detail and the use of traditional methods, which give each beer a unique and unmistakable character. The direct flame heated kettles are at the heart of the process, imparting the wort with an intense and authentic flavor, far from mass production. The absence of sophisticated industrial technologies is a conscious choice aimed at preserving the artisanal essence of every beer.

Sicilian Craft Beers: Authenticity and Premium Raw Materials

San Bull produces beers exclusively in small batches, thus ensuring maximum control over quality and flavor. Among the irresistible elements of its production process are:

Home-grown hops, carefully selected to enhance every aromatic note
Unfiltered and unpasteurized beers, to keep aroma and freshness intact
Bottle re-fermentation, achieved through the natural addition of sugars, without added preservatives

The best-known labels are 'Schiticchiusa' and 'Saracina,' names that evoke the history and Sicilian roots of the brewery. 'Schiticchiusa,' which in dialect means “the haughty woman,” is a blonde beer with a refined soul, while 'Saracina' is inspired by the passage of the Saracens in Sicily, represented by an amber beer with a strong and enveloping taste.
