Craft breweries

The brewery Angeloni is located among the rolling hills of the Valcesano area, surrounded by barley fields.  Only variety of couplets barley ( mainly used for brewing) are selected for sowing,  because this sort of barley has got large caryopses, homogeneous and greater percentages of starch, and therefore with good yields in the production of malt. After threshing, the barley is sent to the malt house consortium of COBI  (consortium producers of barley and beer) where  the malting process is carried out after a careful cleaning and selection. The beers produced are without preservatives, unfiltered and unpasteurized, they are marked by character, uniqueness and elegance: MATER DEA, ISIDORA, ARTAIUS, MP SUNRISE.

The brewery was obtained from the old stables of this country house. Several beers are produced: blond, amber, red double malt, a special blond for Christmas.

The Project of the Brewery of "Catria" comes from the farm business "Corrieri", originally devoted to cereals. The two-row barley is cultivated on their company's fields, all located in the municipality of Cantiano, at the slopes of the Monte Catria: nearly 20 hectares of planted fields with the best respect of the surrounding environment, without the use of harmful chemicals. The respect of the territory is fundamental: in the process of plowing, sowing and threshing, only light tractors are used, in order to avoid the soil to be more compact . The barley is then fermented at Cobi, a Marche consortium, and then arrives at the brewery where it is turned into beer. Most farm electrical supply is guaranteed by photovoltaic panels, and in the summer time, the water is heated by the energy of the sun. For the beers production, they use the best water, coming from the sources of the Mountain Catria and most of malt derives from barley grown at their company's fields. The bottles are formed by 0,33 and 0,75 cl cl. To ensure the best taste experience and not affect the beer with the supply of carbon dioxide, the kegs of beer are key-keg, 20 or 30 liters.
They have three beer versions: UKRE, TEKVIA, KLAVERNIA.

The brewery “La Castellana”was established in 2014 by the idea of Giacomo and Ludovico, two guys who have turned their passion for beer and attachment to their territory into a real profession.
Passion, desire to get involved and promote the area are just three key words on which the project was born. The company is situated in the city  of Serra Sant'Abbondio, a small medieval village in the hinterland of the Marche region, perched at the foot of the  Mount Catria.
The name of the brewery is a tribute to the"Palio della Rocca" (fortress) of Serra Sant'Abbondio , where six castles compete for the coveted prize with the famous goose race. The names of the beers are the castles taking part to the race: Sant’Honda, Leccia, Petrara, Montevecchio, Campietro e Poggetto.
Currently available the  Leccia (Belgian Ale) and Sant'Honda (Red Ale); the brewery has a capacity production of 50 liters per cooked and is at present the smallest brewery in Italy. The use of water of Mount Catria and cereals of the company gives a strictly typical feature to the product . The beers “La Castellana” are made using natural process, without the addition of additives and not pasteurized.

Italian craft beer, preservatives free, not pasteurized and not filtered.
Birrificio dei Castelli is a craft brewery in continuous evolution that has the main objective of looking for high quality and unique product, made with respect for tradition. Their craftsmanship is also expressed in the plant design, a modular brewhouse composed of four vessels, that allows them to produce up to four different types of beer in one day.
Long production and maturation timing, attention for detail and patience: only in this way they can get a high quality beer, which is capable to preserve all its fragrance and taste. Their desire is to spread a more aware and warned beer culture, focusing in its organoleptic and nutritional quality.

Initially, the brewery “Le Fate” (the Fairies) was born in a small place in the centre of Comunanza, the crowning dream of Mauro and Tonino, that after various and different experiences, began taking their cue from the territory, ( image and product), since it is the same company to grow cereals for the production of its own beer.
LOCAL BEER
“Research on taste for our beers comes from an effort to promote the Sibillini Mountains area, and to find out the perfect combination between the local and the international dimension.”
Eight fairies identify eight different beers and eight different tastes, but each with a common aim: mixing the proprieties of fruits from the Sibillini Mountains area with beer’s typically international features.
AN OLD LEGEND
The brewery “Le Fate” (Fairies) takes its name from an old legend about wizards, warriors and fairies.
According to the tales of Andrea da Barberino and Antoine de la Sale, the fairies lived at the court of the sorceress Sibilla in a dug cave in the rocks of the mountain.
The cave, also called “The Cave of the Fairies” is located close to the “Monte Sibilla” (2150 mt. above sea level).
Each one of our craft beers is named after a fairy, as narrated in the book “Il Guerrin Meschino” (Wretched Guerrin) by Andrea da Barberino.
The story, dating back to the 1400, is that of an errant knight who headed to the cave of the Sibilla to find out about his origins.
The continuous evolution of the Brewery le Fate was inspired by the local products, from the selection of malts and hops, thus finding the right combination of uniqueness and internationalization; not least the limited edition created in collaboration with fish producers of the Valdaso area: Beer saison Hariel.
The company currently produces eight "Fate"(Fairies): LASIBILLA, LALCINA, CARMETA, LADEISI, LUNILIA, PIMPINELLA, NEVERINA and SILESIA; with a potentially four-fold monthly production. But the news is always just around the corner for Mauro and Tonino's friends, which in preview today announce a new line in the process of research and development with a more classic style and a completely new eye-catching layout".
 "In the new company we will make the entire production - the Brewer Massacci said- from  raw materials selection of  our farm, to the brewing process with a new and innovative system, from bottling, up to labelling and storage . In addition, we are setting up a tasting space of our products where we can tell our passion, with the desire to promote and enhance the Sibillini territory. "

The brewery Le Fate remains open despite the earthquake which struck central Italy in 2016.
