Known for American IPA

Founded in 2016 in Palermo — the name comes from the Arabic souk el ballarak, meaning 'market of mirrors,' rooting the brewery in the city's deep Arab-Norman heritage. Uses native ancient Sicilian grains sown within the brewery's own fields; the hallmark of all Ballarak beers is their close link with Sicilian territory — scent of wheat, citrus, bread, and floral hints from the island's tradition. Committed to spreading craft beer culture in southern Italy with a strong Sicilian impulse in every product.
