Folk Brewery: Passion and Artisan Tradition in the Heart of Liguria
Folk Brewery is located in Cairo Montenotte, in the province of Savona, precisely at Via Cortemilia 54. Founded in 2016 thanks to the vision of Gaetano La Paglia, originally from Catania, together with his wife Donatella Perria, the soul of the local Be Pub, the brewery is the embodiment of a dream rooted in the early 2000s. Here, beer is much more than just a drink: it is the result of a journey of research, passion, and obsessive attention to quality.
The philosophy of Folk Brewery is based on a careful balance between tradition and innovation, aiming to bring to the market craft beers that faithfully reflect European brewing culture, without giving up the genuineness and character that are typically Italian.
A careful selection of raw materials and production methods
One of the aspects that distinguishes the brewery is the careful choice of raw materials. About 90% of the barley malts come from certified Italian agricultural supply chains, while the water used is the pure water from the Maritime Alps springs, a fundamental element that gives freshness and lightness to the final products.
The beers are created following a rigorous process that includes:
- Selection of high-quality malts and hops
- Controlled fermentation with artisanal techniques
- Careful management of bottling and barrel aging
- Accurate control at every production stage to ensure consistency and excellence
This methodology guarantees the production of beers that not only meet the highest quality standards every time but also tell a story of territory and dedication.
The beer range: a journey through authentic flavors and traditional styles
Beers signed Folk offer a variety of styles that satisfy both the most traditional enthusiasts and those seeking new tasting experiences:
- Folk Monaco: a crystal-clear blonde, characterized by harmonious cereal notes and delicate floral aromas of Saaz hops, perfect for those who love a light and fragrant beer.
- Folk Vienna: amber and smooth, with hints of toasted bread and hazelnut, a beer that combines elegance and roundness.
- Folk Suprema: a copper-colored quadrupel with a full and enveloping taste, enriched with intense aromas of dried fruit, ideal for those who want a more complex tasting experience.
- American IPA, Munich Helles, and Schwarzbier complete a varied but always coherent catalog in the pursuit of absolute quality.
Visitors to the brewery have the opportunity to purchase the products directly or participate in guided tours, which allow them to enter the heart of the production process, discovering every secret and step that makes each bottle unique.
For an even more immersive experience, the Be Pub, located at Corso Verdese 24 in Cairo Montenotte, offers a warm and welcoming environment where you can enjoy Folk beers, often accompanied by events and evenings dedicated to enthusiasts.
Folk Brewery is therefore much more than just a producer: it is a reference point for those who love Italian craft beer, a place where European tradition blends with the passion and quality of the Ligurian territory. Every sip tells a story of research, attention to detail, and love for the craft.
