Craft Beer
Craft Beers from Umbria, Italy – Steeped in monastic tradition, Umbria’s artisanal brews trace their roots to medieval Benedictine and Franciscan monks, who perfected beer-making in abbeys like Birra Nursia (Norcia). Today, local brewers honor these methods with Trappist-style ales, spiced brews, and barrel-aged beers, often using Umbrian grains, chestnuts, or even saffron. Expect complex, earthy flavors—from malty dubbels to herb-infused abbey ales—best enjoyed with hearty Umbrian cuisine. A divine sip of history! 🍻🏰
