Krimisos Brewery: the essence of Sicilian craft beer
The Krimisos Brewery, located in the heart of Castellammare del Golfo at 168 Via Segesta, was born from the deep passion of three friends who in 2018 decided to turn their love for craft beer into a tangible reality. Initially started as a beer firm, the brewery made a leap in quality in January 2020, when it acquired its own production facility, thus consolidating its distinctive presence in the Sicilian brewing scene.
The name Krimisos is a tribute to the Crimiso river, an element rich in history and mythology evoked in Virgil’s Aeneid, which flows right near Castellammare del Golfo. This strong connection to the territory represents one of the keys to the brewery’s identity, which is committed to enhancing local traditions through every beer it produces.
Signature beers that tell the story of Sicily
Krimisos’ production is a sensory journey into Sicilian culture and typical ingredients. Each beer is a small work of art, a top-fermented brew characterized by carefully selected raw materials to enhance authentic and unique flavors. Among the most renowned creations are:
- Chiara: a refined and delicate Blonde Ale, enriched with honey produced by Sicilian black bees that gives a floral aroma and an unmistakable natural sweetness.
- Bruna: a Smoked Ale with a strong character, featuring intense smoky notes and a spicy touch from local chili pepper, ideal for those who love bold and surprising tastes.
- Vittoria: an Amber Ale made with carob syrup, offering a warm, slightly sweet flavor with pleasant woody notes and a lingering aftertaste.
- Zingara: an IPA inspired by the beautiful Zingaro Natural Reserve, rich in citrus and exotic fruity aromas that explode with freshness and personality.
- Marina: an American Wheat Beer brewed with Tumminia wheat, an ancient Sicilian grain, for a rustic and authentic profile capable of telling stories of territories and millennial traditions.
The brewery offers its beers in 0.33 L and 0.75 L bottles, with special offers aimed at visitors. Tasting events and guided tours are also organized, allowing enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the world of Krimisos, discovering the production process and fully appreciating every nuance of the different labels.
Krimisos is not just beer: it is the meeting point between a careful artisanal style and the deep soul of Sicily, a way of experiencing beer that tells stories, emotions, and local traditions, turning every sip into an unforgettable experience.
