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.
