Birra Bellazzi
Founded in 2012 by former homebrewers Alessandro Sanna and Federico Bianco in San Lazzaro di Savena, Bologna — Birra Bellazzi draws on British, German and American hop traditions while developing a bold Italian craft identity. The flagship Alley Hop Imperial IPA is an intensely resinous double dry-hopped monster, while the Jake New Zealand Pale Ale brings southern hemisphere hops to the Bologna hills. The taproom has six taps, a garden and a programme of live music events.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
