Damea Brewery: Craft Excellence in the Heart of Sicily
In the picturesque village of Monforte San Giorgio, in the province of Messina, Damea Brewery was established in 2023, the result of the shared passion of Damiano and Alfredo, two friends united by their love for homebrewing. This microbrewery is today one of the emerging protagonists in the Sicilian craft beer scene, capable of combining tradition and innovation with a strong connection to the territory.
Damea stands out for its careful and attentive production, inspired by the great Belgian and American brewing traditions, reinterpreted with a deeply Sicilian soul. Each beer is the result of a perfect balance between selected raw materials and cutting-edge fermentation techniques, in a sensory journey that tells stories, legends, and landscapes of the island.
