Menaresta Brewery: the artisanal heart of Brianza
In the beating heart of Brianza, in Carate Brianza, stands Menaresta Brewery, an establishment founded in 2007 that has distinguished itself in the Italian craft beer scene through a constant commitment to quality and tradition. Located at Piazza Risorgimento 1, inside a former industrial district, the brewery combines a welcoming and easily accessible environment with meticulous attention to every production detail, offering enthusiasts a place to fully immerse themselves in the world of craft beer.
The name Menaresta is a tribute to the source of the Lambro River, a symbol of purity and vitality, values reflected in the brewery’s philosophy. The logo, inspired by the “sperada,” the traditional Brianzola hairstyle, represents a strong connection to the cultural roots of the area, thus enhancing local identity through every bottle produced.

- La P’ipa: an American IPA with a balanced body at 5.6%, ideal for those who love hoppy and fresh beers.
- Birra Madre: a barrel-fermented Lambic at 4.8%, capable of narrating the history of spontaneous fermentations.
In addition to beers, Menaresta has expanded its offer with the production of cider, made from organic apples from Valtellina, and non-alcoholic beverages such as hard seltzer, thus embracing a modern and inclusive vision of the brewing world.
