Farm
We are now a completely Independent
We have fought for a long time and made a dream come true: we have become a completely independent Craft Brewery and Farm.
For us, being a Farm Brewery means returning homage to our land and enhancing it. Because it is not just a matter of “creating a product”, it is something more, like strong connection among plants, heart and people.
Barley
In our Farm, we cultivate brewing barley. Barley malt is the backbone of the beer, and growing barley allows us to get to know it and control it from the beginning and to understand better its chemistry and characteristics.
Dispensa Agricola
In our online shop you can find the products of our Farm and what good things the land has to offer.
Being an agricultural brewery also means being able to let you taste products from our land in addition to those used in the production of our beers. We pay homage to our land and enhance it, because it is not just about ‘creating a product’, but about the link between plants, land, people and animals.

Orchards
We grow naturally and pick fresh fruits (apricots, cherries, apples, peaches, plums) from our orchard to use them in some of our Sour / Wild Ales: Cantina craft beers. We pick the fresh fruits with our hands, making the selection on the field respecting the ripening times.
Hop Farm
We have started an experimental Hop Farm to pursue the search for new varieties and to expand our horizons. Experimentation and research have always been the core of our job, and hops are the raw ingredient that most characterizes our craft beers, our identity.
Our hops allow us to study in the field and to put into practice various techniques, but also to directly evaluate how climate, soil and harvesting methods affect our beers. This experience allows us to consciously select the best hops in the world, the ones that we use in our beers and that fully express their characteristics, especially in our IPA, DDH IPA and NEIPA beers.
Bees
For both ethical and functional reasons, we have placed Hives in our orchards. This has allowed us to undertake a beekeeping experience which, in addition to promoting the pollination of fruit trees (improving the quality yield), allows us to collect excellent natural honeycomb that we use in the production of some of our beers.
To fight only for oneself is to fight halfheartedly.
Our species must commit to defending the weak, giving a voice to the voiceless, and protecting the smallest without discrimination of species. Allirreug DDH API is the first DDH with our honey, it is a call to fight in defense of bees and pollinators, which guarantee access to food for all humans and many living beings in the world. We must fight to save bees and pollinating insects from extinction. In the food production process, about 80% of major crops benefit from animal pollination in terms of production, yield, and quality. On a global scale, more than 40% of invertebrate pollinator species are at risk of disappearing: their decline has already begun and this has caused serious ripples in all ecosystems.
If it is difficult to read Guerrilla® backwards, just try to imagine the difficulties of living in a world turned upside down and disfigured by their absence. If bees disappear, in 4 years (info) what we eat will disappear, what we love will die
Allirreug DDH API is produced with the first seasonal honey harvest of our Farm, born as a manifesto to oppose this course, a call to commit ourselves in our daily lives to avert the environmental, food, and ecological disaster.
It will be produced once a year.
Fighting for our survival does not only mean resisting and fighting a personal threat, but also protecting those who are the guardians of our lives from afar. Habitat fragmentation and climate change, death from starvation, pesticides and chemicals are some of the dangers and factors that contribute to the decline of pollinating insect populations. Human/robot pollination is prohibitive, and the mere thought of relying on these practices without worrying about the extermination of pollinators is cowardly
What can I do to help bees and pollinating insects?
More wild, less stress. There are no weeds, there are wild herbs that are naturally part of the habitat of many animals. On these fine days if you want to garden, choose natural methods such as warm water, vinegar, salt, a nice spade or your own hands. Remember, the more herbs and wild plants your garden has, the more it will be able to regulate itself, and the more free time you will have to enjoy it, drinking a beer lying on the grass.
Also try not to use pesticides, fungicides and insecticides.

What can I do to help bees and pollinating insects?
If you want more bees in your garden or on your balcony you can plant: rosemary, tulips, chives, sage, basil, borage, phlox, lavender, mallow, clover, thyme, medic grass, marigold; Jerusalem artichokes and chrysanthemums for cold seasons. If you find a dazed bee (or a wanderer in winter), give them a few drops of water and sugar.
