StataleNove: Artisanal Excellence in the Heart of Crespellano
Located at Via Cassoletta 86, in the picturesque setting of Crespellano, a district of Valsamoggia in the province of Bologna, the StataleNove microbrewery stands out in the Italian craft beer scene. Founded in 2008 by Filippo Bitelli, a former homebrewer with a solid technical background, StataleNove skillfully combines tradition and innovation, offering high-quality beers ranging from the lightest to the darkest, including ambers and reds, all crafted with meticulous care for flavor and raw materials.
The name 'StataleNove' is a clear reference to State Road 9, the Via Emilia, a historic artery that crosses the region and symbolizes a deep connection with the territory. This bond is reflected in the brewery’s production approach, which uses modern technologies to maximize the organoleptic characteristics and authentic aromas of craft beer. Every stage, from grinding to fermentation, is precisely monitored to ensure an excellent and unique final result.
Quality, Tradition, and Innovation Serving Taste
StataleNove’s laboratory is equipped with a 10-hectoliter system, with an annual production of about 550 hectoliters, allowing continuous experimentation while maintaining very high quality standards and strong respect for the environment. Here are some key elements that distinguish their production:
- Carefully selected raw materials to guarantee unfiltered and unpasteurized beers that retain vitality and aromatic complexity.
- A diverse range that includes light beers such as Levante (Keller Pils) and Gaia (Summer Ale), dark beers like John G. (Schwarz), and ambers such as Miss Kartola (Marzen) and S.O.C.H. (Marzen with Chestnut Honey).
- A state-of-the-art dispensing system with five taps always ready to serve 17 rotating brews directly at the point of sale, where the beer is served in glassware sanitized in the “German” style to enhance aroma and flavor.
- Attention to serving temperature and minimum carbon dioxide levels ensures an optimal sensory experience.
At the StataleNove point of sale, a familiar and informal atmosphere welcomes visitors, perfect for tasting top-level craft beers directly at the production site. In addition to sales, the brewery offers exclusive services such as label customization and gift packaging, designed for those who want to take home an authentic piece of this experience.
The microbrewery does not limit itself to production: it organizes events and collaborates with local entrepreneurs, promoting the craft beer culture in the territory and enhancing the specificities of the Emilian tradition through every sip. StataleNove represents a virtuous example of how passion, dedication, and respect for tradition can transform a beer into an authentic and memorable sensory journey.
