Ichnusa - the sardinian beer
Ichnusa, the cult beer from Sardinia, has been an integral part of Sardinian culture and tradition for decades. Birra Ichnusa brewery was founded in Cagliari in 1912 and has since been producing the popular beer in various varieties. Particularly famous is the light lager beer that was named after the Sardinian name for the island.
The secret to the success of Ichnusa lies in the high-quality ingredients and meticulous production. The water comes from the clean mountain springs of Sardinia, the malt from Italy, and the yeast from Germany. The brewery uses traditional brewing methods without additives and places great importance on artisanal brewing.
In addition to the cult beer Ichnusa, Birra Ichnusa brewery also produces other beer varieties such as an unfiltered beer and a lemon radler. However, other breweries in Sardinia have also specialized in crafting beer, such as Birrificio 4mori. Here, beer is brewed strictly according to the German Reinheitsgebot, and the brewmaster is none other than Matthias Müller.
Birrificio 4mori emerged from the former power supply center of the Montevecchio mining complex and is a passionate project in an area that deteriorated more and more after the end of mining and increased unemployment. A particular specialty of Birrificio 4mori is the chestnut beer made with chestnuts from Gennargentu. It pairs perfectly with Sardinian dishes and is a true delight for the palate.
Immerse yourself in Sardinian beer culture and enjoy a piece of Sardinian life in your glass.
