Ticino made from beer

Local ingredients and a lot of passion: craft beers in Ticino.


From Mendrisio to Lugano, from Ascona to Malvaglia passing through Bioggio, Dongio, Gordola, Camorino and many others villages. In Ticino, a brewery comes up around every bend and an evening is too short to taste all the craft beers produced south of the Alps. What is certain is that beer is part of Ticino's history and the drink has been produced here since the 19th century.
A tradition that lives on the territory, therefore, between the Castles of Bellinzona, the lakefront of Ascona, Monte Brè and the historic center of Mendrisio.
