Borrillo Craft Brewery: The Beating Heart of Campanian Craft Beer
In the picturesque village of Molinara, in the province of Benevento, the Borrillo Craft Brewery was born, a reality that has carved out a prominent place in the vibrant Italian craft beer scene. A family project, founded in 2012 thanks to the passion of Bruno, Paola, and Pasquale Rescignano, who in their roots cherish the love for craft beer and dedication to quality. Their journey began as early as 2008 when the family bar became the cradle of a new adventure dedicated to the production of craft beers, combining tradition and creativity.
What sets Borrillo Brewery apart is undoubtedly the care in production. The arrival in 2014 of brewer Vincenzo Cillo, with solid experience as a homebrewer and entrepreneur, marked an important turning point: thanks to him, the production process was refined, leading to the creation of beers with great personality and a well-defined identity. The 5-hectoliter system and an annual production capacity of around 250 hectoliters allow them to offer a wide range of beers, strongly inspired by the classic styles of Belgium, Great Britain, and the United States.
Borrillo Brewery’s Beers: Tradition and Innovation in a Bottle
Among the most significant creations stands out the Saison “Esse”, a beer that encapsulates the soul and territoriality of the brewery. Made with barley malt and the precious variety of Sannio wheat Saragolla, this beer with a hazy golden color and fine foam has an alcohol content of 5.5%. On the nose and palate, spicy aromas, fruity and herbal hints can be recognized, accompanied by notes of honey and cereal that deliver an enveloping freshness and impeccable balance.
The beers signed Borrillo are also the result of inspiration expressed through the Eikon series, where the brewer’s creative character comes to life through unconventional and original recipes. Each product tells a story, a challenge, a deep bond with a territory rich in culture and traditions.
Visiting the brewery means immersing yourself in an authentic and warm environment, where the passion for beer is palpable at every corner.
