Arbareska LAB: Craft Excellence in the Heart of Sardinia
Arbareska LAB is a craft brewery located in Isili, a picturesque town in the Sardinian inland, specifically at Corso Vittorio Emanuele 54c. Founded in 2020 by Bruno Ghiani, who had already been passionate about homebrewing since 2014, Arbareska LAB embodies a perfect fusion of tradition and innovation in Sardinia’s brewing landscape.
The name itself, Arbareska, is a nod to the ancient local artisanal traditions: it is inspired by the historic art of copperwork in Isili. This connection to the territory is also reflected in the equipment used, such as the boiler handmade by Luigi Pitzalis, the last copper craftsman in the area. This attention to artisanal detail is the beating heart of the brewery and underlines the desire to keep local cultural roots alive.
Authentic Beers Rooted in the Territory
The range of beers produced by Arbareska LAB stands out for their originality and use of typical Sardinian ingredients. Among them is Arèsti, a Raw Farmhouse Ale characterized by a unique aroma given by the addition of juniper berries and branches. This choice is no accident: it highlights the extreme attention to enhancing local raw materials and the authentic flavors of the territory.
The distinctive features of Arbareska LAB beers include:
- Local ingredients, which tell the story and traditions of Sardinia;

- Unique taste, the result of careful experimentation and a strong bond with the territory.
