Dr. Barbanera Craft Brewery: a gem of craft beer in Piedmont
Located in Cavallirio, in the heart of the Novara province, Dr. Barbanera Craft Brewery represents a benchmark in the Piedmont craft beer scene. Founded in 2014 as a beer firm, it expanded its vocation by opening a production facility in 2018, thus consolidating a solid and recognized presence among beer enthusiasts.
The evocative name, Dr. Barbanera, is inspired by a truly unique character born at the end of the 19th century in Pozzuoli. This figure, obsessed with the idea of eternal life and famous for selling mysterious tonics with extraordinary powers, inspired not only the name but the entire aesthetic and communication of the brewery. A vintage and intriguing atmosphere envelops every detail, from the logo to the furnishings, creating an evocative and unique experience for anyone who steps through the door.
The beers and the brewpub experience
The brewery’s production is distinguished by a selection of about ten top-fermentation beers that blend tradition and innovation. Among the styles offered, references to the rich Belgian tradition stand out, as well as more modern IPAs and APAs. A true flagship is the Maragià, a wheat beer that impresses with its character: enriched with hibiscus flowers and ginger, it offers an extraordinarily fresh and original aromatic profile.
In addition to production, the brewery hosts a welcoming brewpub with a large garden where you can taste the beers in a relaxing and sociable setting. The environment is carefully curated in every detail, with décor that reflects the brand’s retro personality, and attentive, friendly service that makes every visit special.
A feature that makes Dr. Barbanera Craft Brewery even more distinctive is its female ownership, a trait that adds value and originality to its identity in the Italian brewing landscape.
