AgriBirrificio SantJago: Tradition and Quality from the Land of Veneto
In the heart of Vittorio Veneto, in the province of Treviso, stands the AgriBirrificio SantJago, a reference point in the Italian craft beer scene. Founded in 2016 by brothers Mattia and Raffaele Dei Tos, the brewery was born from twenty years of experience in the cereal sector, with the aim of creating beers that reflect the richness of the Veneto territory and its agricultural tradition.
One of the peculiarities that distinguishes SantJago is the direct cultivation of barley, a fundamental ingredient for production. Located on an estate of about 55 hectares, the brewery personally selects the finest barley varieties, thus ensuring strict quality control from the land to the final product. The crops extend over the fertile lands of La Brussa, near Caorle: here the intense sun and the sea breeze help give the beers a unique aroma, consisting of genuine scents and characteristic flavors.
Craft Beers with Personality and Perspective
SantJago’s production is designed to satisfy even the most demanding palates, offering a varied range rich in personality. Among the most appreciated beers are:
- Juvenis: a 5.8% vol. Blonde Ale, which wins over with its freshness and lightness.
- Dorè Royal: a 5.6% vol. Red Ale, with an intense red color, capable of offering a rich and enveloping flavor.
- Weizzner: a 5.6% vol. Weizen, characterized by a soft and delicate aromatic profile.
In addition to production, SantJago offers visitors an authentic and engaging experience. Those interested can participate in guided tastings in the modern facilities at Via dell’Industria 10, discovering step by step the production phases and directly engaging with the brewmaster. This approach makes the brewery not only a workplace but a bridge between agricultural culture, Italian passion, and artisanal innovation.
The work and quality of SantJago have also been recognized at the national level: an important testimony is the participation in the EXPO Milan in 2015, a prestigious event that gave further visibility to this project connecting land, history, and flavors.
For those who wish to take home a piece of Veneto, SantJago beers can be purchased directly at the brewery with convenient hours from Monday to Friday and Saturday morning. Contact the staff for information or to book visits, allowing everyone to immerse themselves in the authentic world of quality craft beer.
