The dream and challenge of our family finally become craft beer.
Birra Salento is born! Old and new, tradition and innovation, theory and practice, sensations
and actions, are the invisible ingredients of a magic combination that pours into the glasses
the result of three generations’ hard work.
The key to a dream that came to be true is the blending of advanced techniques, high-
quality products selected with care by brewers and researchers, a team made by many
collaborators, but first and foremost a strong, tight family, loyal to its origins and with a
tireless leader at its head.
Beer List
The four elements
WATER
It flows from the sky to the ground with the disruptive strength of the nature that caresses the rocks cleaving them at more than 500 meters above sea level. The most important
ingredient of our beers passes through the bowels of the earth and arrives at Birra Salento.
Each beer requires a different and accurate water treatment.
BARLEY
Our barley smells like Salento land; it grows beside rows of vines and olive fronds. After a
long period of research with the Biological and Environmental Sciences and Technology
Department of University of Salento, the researchers identified two different local cultivars:
Concerto and Odissey – two varieties that have the capacity to reach a very good level of
malt quality if grown according to climate and precipitation levels on this terrain. The barley
will be brought to the malthouse where it will germinate and will turn into malt.
HOP
It is the marring together of scent and perfume notes when Its Magesty the hop embrace the must to create flavour. Delicious aromas and refresh bitter notes located in the magic wand of the ancient plant which is so treasured by the egiptians.
Carefully selected in the largest European production areas, hops confer different shadows to each brewing artwork of Birra Salento and protects it by acting as natural preserver. The hop guarantee stability to the beers and allows the preservation of their organoleptic characteristics.

times tantalize the nose and minds of the beer masters. Then, the search becomes an
