Bykes Beer: the artisanal heart of Basilicata
Bykes Beer is an artisan brewery located in Rivello, a small town in the province of Potenza, in the heart of Basilicata. Founded in 2008, this brewery stands out for its ability to blend international brewing tradition with the authentic identity of the Lucanian territory. The company has chosen to focus on beers with an immediate character and easy drinkability, ideal for those who want to immerse themselves in the pleasure of a spontaneous and quality drink.
Raw materials and production: a combination of excellence and territory
Bykes Beer’s production philosophy is based on scrupulous attention to raw materials, all rigorously selected to guarantee freshness and naturalness. In particular:
- The barley malt comes from non-GMO local crops, strictly from the area between Basilicata and Puglia, thanks to collaboration with Agroalimentare Sud of San Nicola di Melfi.
- The spring water, naturally filtered through the rocks of the Lucanian Apennines, ensures purity and high organoleptic quality.
- The hops used are cultivated in the famous German region of Hallertau, known for its aromatic varieties.
- The yeast, fundamental for controlled and consistent fermentation, is supplied by SG Biotech of Villanova s/A (PC).
These ingredients, combined through a rigorous and meticulous production process, create beers ranging from classic European styles to bolder, more innovative interpretations. The result is a product that enhances taste and aroma while respecting the tradition and culture of international brewing.
A reference point for craft beer culture
Bykes Beer is not only a production site but also an important cultural center for craft beer enthusiasts in Basilicata. Located in Contrada Fiumicello, in the industrial area of Rivello, the brewery offers the public:
- Guided tours to discover the secrets of beer production.
