The Birrificio Montegioco was born from the creative mind of Riccardo Franzosi and his passion for brewing. He first started brewing the "wonderful drink" for its simple appeal to staff and numerous friends. And subsequently he has decided to transform his best creations from a hobby to an actual business.
Is this not perhaps the dream of all us?

The choice was not easy but Riccardo believed that creating a micro brewery would allow him to concentrate exclusively on the brewing process and thus bring out the best in his beers.
Therefore the brewery does not have a serving premises like many other brewpubs in Italy.
Construction for Birrificio started in early 2005. The brewery was built in a restored warehouse building that was built in 1935.
