Cafasse Agricultural Brewery: Tradition and Territory in the Upper Aterno Valley
In the heart of the Upper Aterno Valley, in Capitignano, stands the Cafasse Agricultural Brewery, an establishment that masterfully combines a passion for craft beer with a deep connection to the Abruzzo territory. Founded in 2016, this microbrewery is distinguished by its production philosophy centered on the exclusive use of local raw materials, many of which are grown directly by the company or sourced from selected producers within the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park.
Special attention to native raw materials
The Cafasse Brewery enhances unique ingredients such as:
- Solina wheat, an ancient cereal that grows exuberantly in the Abruzzo lands
- Majorino barley, carefully cultivated to ensure authentic aromas
- Marzuolo and Spelt, equally native and fundamental for the creation of the recipes
- Honey produced at nearly 1000 meters above sea level, which gives the beers an unmistakable aromatic and natural touch
Thanks to this selection of local raw materials, the beers maintain a rich and authentic organoleptic profile, a direct expression of their territory of origin.
Genuine, craft, and unpasteurized beer
Cafasse’s beers are strictly unpasteurized and free from preservatives, features that preserve the integrity and freshness of the ingredients used. The process also involves the use of a high percentage of raw grains and the absence of microfiltration, elements that enhance the craftmanship of each production and ensure an authentic drinking experience, full of character.
Among the creations that represent the brewery’s identity are some standout labels:
- 912 Slm – a Belgian Strong Golden Ale, symbolizing the brewery’s innovation and technical experimentation.
- Ornida – a Dry Stout with an intense and full-bodied taste, capable of enveloping the palate with robust and decisive notes.
- Pietraliscia – a Bohemian Pilsner that combines Czech brewing tradition with typically Abruzzese aromatic details.
- Copputa – an American Pale Ale that balances the bitterness of the hops with the sweetness of local malts, perfect for those who love beers with balanced and refreshing nuances.
The Cafasse Agricultural Brewery is a virtuous example of how beer production can become a means to enhance a territory, respecting its resources and telling its story through every sip. Here, every bottle is the result of long care, passion, and respect for nature, transforming into authentic and unmistakable flavors.
