Opened in 2017 on Via della Pescheria 18 in the Cavana district — the ancient fishing neighbourhood of Trieste, beloved by James Joyce during his years in the city. Beers are brewed metres from the tap, in plain view behind a glass wall, and served with complimentary tapas of horseradish and prosciutto. Six house-brewed styles including saison, pale ale, IPA, amber and porter — fresh, unfiltered and deeply local to one of Italy's most atmospheric port cities.
