Acquired by AB InBev in 2016 while continuing to operate L'Osteria di Birra del Borgo near the Vatican with 24 beers on cask.

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.
ReAle
Their beers place in the Top 50% of the catalogue on average, across 7 ranked beers. One clear standout well ahead of the rest.
