Birra del Borgo is an Italian craft brewery founded in May 2005 by Leonardo Di Vincenzo in Borgorose, a small town in the province of Rieti on the border between Lazio and Abruzzo. Di Vincenzo began his brewing journey as a hobbyist during his college years before turning his passion into one of Italy's most celebrated craft breweries. The brewery quickly gained recognition as a pioneering force in the Italian craft beer scene, blending traditional Italian ingredients and culture with modern brewing techniques. Birra del Borgo has built a reputation for an innovative and diverse portfolio, with flagship beers such as Reale, Ducale, and Duchesse standing out as signature expressions of the brewery's character. These beers showcase the brewer's ability to combine quality malt and hop profiles with a distinctly Italian sensibility, offering a range of styles that appeal to both craft beer enthusiasts and a broader international audience. In 2016, Birra del Borgo was acquired by Anheuser-Busch InBev, joining the multinational's growing portfolio of craft and specialty beer brands. The acquisition marked a significant milestone for Italian craft brewing, bringing international visibility to the brewery while connecting it to one of the world's largest brewing groups. Despite the takeover, Birra del Borgo remains a landmark name in Italian craft beer culture.
