La Fabbrica della Birra Perugia is the contemporary interpretation of an ancient story, which began way back in 1875. Its beers are authentic expressions, rich in personality, handcrafted from natural raw materials.

Fabbrica Birra Perugia is a historic brand, founded in 1875 and re-launched in a contemporary key in 2013.the enterprise is due to a group of friends, in love with beer and their roots, determined to give back to the city its brewery.the craft beers produced immediately met with great success, both in the region and abroad. Even the critics soon took notice of this young reality, literally flooded with awards and recognitions: from the European Beer Star to the Brussels Beer Challenge, from the main sector guides to the prestigious Beer of the Year competition. An unstoppable escalation that culminated in February 2016, when Fabbrica Birra Perugia was proclaimed Brewery of the Year. In fact, the history of beer in Perugia has ancient roots: one of the milestones was laid in 1875, the year the factory was founded by Ferdinando Sanvico, although beer had already been brewed in the city since the mid-19th century, by an Austrian lady from Innsbruck, who had set up her own small production facility here.In those years, the company was based in some premises in Palazzo Silvestri, in the central Via Baglioni, near the snow depots located in the basement of the Rocca Paolina and used at the time as primordial fridges for the maturation and conservation of beer, made in special oak barrels. Not infrequently, deliveries to the grocery-restaurant at the railway station and the few taverns in Fontivegge were made by handcart. A journey of no less than 5 kilometres! In the early 20th century, the brewery reached significant production and the beer was distributed throughout central Italy. The premises were thus moved to the larger premises in Via Oradina (today Via Bartolo), which extended through the cellars that stretched from the Turreno theatre to below Piazza Piccinino. This lasted until 1926, when Birra Perugia was bought by a large industrial group in the sector.The idea of the current partners was and is simple, ambitious and a little crazy: to re-found the brewery after almost 90 years and make it one of the best craft breweries in the country. After long studies, research, attempts and sacrifices, Fabbrica Birra Perugia is once again a reality.
