Menabrea is synonymous with craftsmanship, quality and passion, three factors inherent to each maestros’ story and life. Brewed on the same site in Biella, Northern Italy, by the Menabrea family for over 150 years, the brewery makes two principal beers: ‘Bionda’, a 4.8% ABV pale lager and ‘Ambrata’ a 5% ABV full-bodied lager. Located in the foothills of the Italian Alps, the Menabrea brewery is the oldest in Italy. The beer is made with the purest Alpine meltwater with the lagering process taking place in maturation cellars found in underground caves under the brewery.

“Menabrea is a brand that has been built on true craftsmanship and passion. Our series of Maestro Classes gives people an insight into the lives of those who have honed their career with the same principles that we’ve been using to make our beer for over 150 years. It’s fantastic to give people an opportunity to learn about the amount of passion, dedication and enthusiasm that goes into shaping the career of our maestros. Much like Menabrea’s Master Brewer, all of our speakers are true masters of their craft. We look forward to hearing more from our masters and I’m sure our audiences will to.” Angus Lawrie, Head of Development Brands

"The unmistakable symbol of Italian excellence."
