Brewnerd: the craft brewery of Ferrandina
In the heart of Basilicata, in Ferrandina, province of Matera, stands Brewnerd, a craft brewery that has won over beer enthusiasts with its unique and high-quality creations. Founded in 2017 by Giuseppe Gaudiano, an environmental engineer who turned his passion into a concrete project, Brewnerd represents the perfect blend of brewing tradition and innovation.
The brewery is known for producing beers inspired by classic styles, revisited with a touch of originality and freshness. Attention to raw materials and care in the production process result in beers with great personality, where each beer tells a story connected to the territory and local culture.
Brewnerd's beers: tradition and innovation in Ferrandina
Among Brewnerd’s most appreciated creations are:
- Bohemian Pils: a pale and light lager, perfect for those seeking a refreshing drink with a clean taste.
- Cleveland Brown Ale: a dark beer with a strong character and intense flavor, able to accompany hearty dishes.
- Belgian Dubbel: rich in malty tones and enveloping aromas, this Belgian beer captivates with its complexity and smoothness.
- American Pale Ale: amber and with a citrus soul, ideal for those who love fruity notes and balanced bitterness.
