Birrificio Granda
Birrificio Granda is an agricultural brewery in Lagnasco, in the Piedmontese province of Cuneo, whose old nickname “La Granda” gave it its name. Ivano Astesana began homebrewing on the family farm in 2009 and started commercial production in 2011 on a 1,200-litre plant; a taproom in Saluzzo followed a year later. The farm works more than 50 hectares and supplies around 80 percent of the raw materials. The beers are neither pasteurised nor microfiltered. Alongside a fixed range of lagers and hop-forward ales, the brewery releases limited editions and collaborations with breweries across Europe.

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.
