Humus Brewery: The Artisan Excellence of Abruzzo
In the heart of Abruzzo, in Ancarano in the province of Teramo, Humus Brewery was founded, a microbrewery that embodies the passion for craft beer and a deep respect for the territory. Established in 2021 by Stefano Balestra, a young and talented brewer, Humus stands out for a sustainable approach and conscious production, capable of enhancing local raw materials and rooted traditions.
The name of the brewery, Humus, refers to the most fertile part of the soil, a symbol of growth, nourishment, and collaboration. This philosophy is reflected in every stage of the production process and in the experiences offered: Humus is not just beer, but a meeting place where stories, passions, and knowledge intertwine.
Quality, Territory, and Sustainability
One of the most authentic features of Humus Brewery is the exclusive use of ingredients grown or harvested in the surrounding area:
- Barley cultivated in owned fields, carefully selected to ensure freshness and traceability
- Pure water drawn from the Ruzzo spring, in the Gran Sasso National Park, which gives the beers a unique lightness and mineral quality
- Production methods attentive to self-sufficiency and minimizing environmental impact
This connection with the land is also reflected in the beer range, the result of constant research and creativity that combines taste and balance. The lineup offers different styles, capable of satisfying both those who prefer low fermentation beers like Pils, and lovers of more intense and complex flavors like American Pale Ale and West Coast IPA. Each beer has a distinctive aromatic profile, the result of original recipes and carefully crafted processes.
An Experience to Live Firsthand
Humus is not just a brewery but a vibrant space where anyone can immerse themselves in the atmosphere of craft production. The Tap Room, open on weekends, allows tasting the beers accompanied by typical snacks, offering a unique opportunity for socializing and direct interaction with the producers.
For those who want to bring home a piece of Abruzzo in a bottle, the brewery shop is open during the week, with evening openings that facilitate direct purchase of products.
Humus Brewery represents a dynamic and innovative reality, capable of telling through its beers the richness of a territory and the passion of those who deeply love it. Each sip becomes a sensory journey that combines flavor, sustainability, and local culture.
