Birra Eretica: the excellence of the craft brewery of Ornago
In the heart of the province of Monza and Brianza, precisely in Ornago, Birra Eretica was born in 2011, a craft brewery founded by three friends united by a great passion for beer: Luciano Parolini, Paolo Piazza, and Ilario Limonta. From simple homebrewing enthusiasts, they transformed into true professionals, creating a reality today highly appreciated in the Italian craft beer scene.
The name Eretica is inspired by the medieval history of Concorezzo, home to one of the most influential heretical sects in Europe. The word heresy, of Greek origin, means “to choose,” and it is precisely this philosophy that guides the brewery: those who drink Birra Eretica are true “heretics,” that is, curious and aware lovers who seek out, taste, evaluate, and above all choose quality.
Quality and tradition: the secret of Birra Eretica
One of Birra Eretica’s strengths is the extreme attention to the purity of the ingredients. The beers are produced exclusively with water, malt, and hops, without any addition of spices or artificial flavors. This strict respect for tradition refers to the German edict Reinheitsgebot, a guarantee of a natural, authentic, and unpasteurized product. Each beer is also unfiltered, to keep all the aromas and the typical freshness of craft beer intact.
The production includes a wide range of styles, capable of satisfying the most diverse tastes:
- Apache (APA)
- Chiaraluna (Weiss)
- Balurdon (Belgian Strong Dark Ale)
- Dolcenera (Stout)
- Eclisse (Dunkel Weiss)
- Luppolina (Lager)
- Scomunica (Red Ale)
- Tipa (IPA)
- Tre X Tre (Tripel)
This variety reflects a perfect combination of German, Belgian, and British brewing traditions, a sensory journey through intense aromas, complex scents, and rich flavors.
Beyond product excellence, Birra Eretica has also distinguished itself in the field of gluten-free beers, winning a gold medal in 2023 for its Sorriso beer, awarded best in the category dedicated to products with special cereals.
The brewery is located at Via Libero Grassi 19, in Ornago, where it is possible to buy all its beers directly or conveniently choose through the online store, thus ensuring direct contact with the producer and the opportunity to discover every single label in detail.
Birra Eretica today represents much more than a simple brewery: it is a project that combines passion, expertise, and love for tradition, offering an authentic experience for those who want to savor the best of Italian craft beer.
