Birrificio Irsinese: The Art of Craft Beer in the Heart of Basilicata
Birrificio Irsinese, located at Via Sant'Agostino 7 in Irsina, Matera province, represents one of the most interesting realities in the Italian craft microbrewery scene. Founded in 2019 by Giuseppe Lapacciana, this brewery was created with the aim of spreading the culture of quality beer in Basilicata, combining local tradition with innovative production.
Attention to detail and passion for raw materials are the pillars on which Birrificio Irsinese's daily work is based. Specialized in the production of top-fermented beers, it mainly offers two types that perfectly reflect the character and territory from which they come.
Superior Quality Craft Beers
Among its most appreciated creations is the IPA (India Pale Ale), a beer with an intense amber color that immediately catches the eye. Its low carbonation allows the strong malt taste to fully emerge, enriched by toasted notes that blend with the sweetness of caramel malt. The result is a rich and complex flavor profile, with a slightly bitter aftertaste and citrus nuances, perfect to accompany:
- Aged cheeses
- Grilled meats
- Typical local dishes
Alternatively, Birrificio Irsinese offers a Belgian Ale with an elegant and refined personality. With a delicate herbal and floral aroma, this beer stands out for its straw-yellow color and balanced effervescence. The low presence of hops makes it softer on the palate, with an aftertaste reminiscent of white wine, ideal to accompany:
- Fish dishes
- Traditional pizza
- Pasta
These beers perfectly represent the brewery’s philosophy: authentic products made with selected ingredients and meticulous attention to processing, able to enhance the peculiarities of the Lucanian territory and harmoniously engage with Italian cuisine.
Birrificio Irsinese is a simplified limited liability company (S.R.L.S.), registered under Ateco code 1105, specific to beer production. Over the years, it has consolidated its position in the craft market with evident growth, certified by constantly increasing turnover.
For those wishing to personally discover this corner of brewing excellence, the brewery welcomes enthusiasts and curious visitors directly at its Irsina premises, offering the opportunity to taste and purchase its original beers. Furthermore, the team’s customer care and availability make every visit a unique and engaging experience, ideal for those who want to immerse themselves in the culture of Italian craft beer.
