The Wall Brewpub: Craft Excellence in Venegono Inferiore
In the heart of Venegono Inferiore, in the province of Varese, stands The Wall Brewpub, a craft brewery that represents a true benchmark for quality beer enthusiasts. Founded in 2013, The Wall has masterfully combined tradition and innovation, establishing itself as a laboratory of excellence in the Italian microbrewery scene.
The historic industrial building that houses it, a former textile factory skillfully restored, is now equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The brewery is also distinguished by its strong visual identity: the exterior features an imposing mural created by Milanese street artist Max Gatto, who also designed the beer labels—true works of art. This blend of art and production helps make The Wall brand immediately recognizable in the crowded craft beer world.
Quality Beers and an Authentic Experience
The Wall’s production facilities include a 20-hectoliter brewhouse and sixteen fermenters, enabling an annual output of about 4,000 hectoliters. This volume satisfies not only internal demand but also contract brewing orders, a sign of a solid and growing operation.
The Wall’s beers are characterized by a variety that ranges from classic beer styles to bold experimental brews. Among the most appreciated creations are:
- Sunray, an American Pale Ale awarded Beer of the Year 2022;
- Rebhell, a Helles that has earned accolades in several editions of Slow Food’s Italian Beer Guide.
For those wishing to fully immerse themselves in beer culture, the brewpub located on the first floor of the brewery offers a unique setting to taste craft beers directly. Guided tours of the facilities allow visitors to discover the secrets of the production process, pairing every sip with the knowledge and passion that drive The Wall.
Special events enliven the venue as well, including birthday parties, live music gatherings, workshops, and themed tastings, evidencing the important role The Wall plays for the local community and the Italian craft movement at large.
With a philosophy focused on the balance between pure craftsmanship and innovative technology, The Wall Brewpub continues to write an important chapter in the history of Italian microbreweries, offering all beer lovers an unforgettable and authentic tasting experience.
