Birra Pratomagno Strong Ale

We are in the province of Arezzo, home to the Birrificio Valdarno Superiore âBVSâ a craft brewery producing top-fermented beers inspired by its own territory; the production uses the finest selected raw materials, and it is here that Birra Pratomagno Strong Ale is brewed. Besides a love for their own land, Tuscany, making craft beers also requires a passion for beer. Beer with no compromises and no added flavourings or preservatives. To make its products, the company has a small secret: water. It in fact has a private well drawing directly from the aquifers of extremely pure water beneath the brewery, fed by local springs. Here the water is particularly hard and rich in minerals. A characteristic that helps the yeasts in their fermentation and a key element for producing a quality craft beer.
