Birrificio Lemine: Tradition and Innovation in the Heart of Bergamo

Located in Almenno San Salvatore, in the province of Bergamo, Birrificio Lemine is a virtuous example of Italian craft brewing, skillfully blending tradition with innovation. Founded in 2014 by Luca Fumagalli, its story is rooted in passion and dedication: it was born within the historic Gastronomia Fumagalli, which has been producing regional gastronomic excellence since 2003.

Luca, driven by a deep love for beer, created a true artisanal laboratory with an initial 2.5-hectoliter system, installed in the premises adjacent to the family delicatessen. Over time, the brewery has evolved, expanding production capacity with a new 6-hectoliter system and enhancing the cellar with state-of-the-art fermenters—an investment reflecting the desire to grow without ever abandoning meticulous care for quality.

Quality and Variety: The Beers of Birrificio Lemine

The secret to Birrificio Lemine’s success lies primarily in the careful selection of raw materials. Each beer is created from the combination of only four essential ingredients: pure water, malts, hops, and expertly chosen yeasts. Without the addition of additives, preservatives, or invasive processes such as filtration or pasteurization, each beer retains its organoleptic properties intact and offers an authentic and genuine flavor.

The range continues with products designed to meet the most diverse and refined tastes:

Larezia: an amber-colored beer inspired by the Belgian Abbey style. Rich in structure and character, it pairs magnificently with typical dishes of Bergamasque cuisine.
Simaër: a stout with character, dark and top-fermented, offering a perfect balance between the intense roast of the malt and softness, ideal for moments of relaxation and reflection.
No Racole: available in two versions, IPA and APA, this beer is characterized by a bold and full-bodied taste with fruity and aromatic hops, designed for those who love bold flavors.
L'Agher: a light and sincere lager with low fermentation, embodying the simplicity and naturalness of the territory from which it takes its name.

In addition to the classic offerings, Birrificio Lemine constantly experiments with new recipes and styles, launching a young and dynamic line dedicated to those who wish to discover trends and novelties in the craft beer scene.

For those wishing to fully immerse themselves in the beer experience, it is possible to participate in guided tours and tastings directly at the brewery, where every detail of the production process is narrated with passion and precision. The schedule allows convenient access from Monday to Friday, while Saturday has reduced hours.

With every sip, Birrificio Lemine reflects the dedication and deep connection to the Bergamo territory, offering a craft beer that is much more than a simple drink: it is the celebration of knowledge that evolves while remaining faithful to its roots.
