Rubiu
Founded in July 2009 by Fabrizio Melis and Luca Garau on the island of Sant'Antioco in the Sulcis region — one of Sardinia's first craft breweries. 100% raw beer: non-filtered, non-pasteurised, without preservatives or additives. 'Rubiu' means RED in Sardinian, representing strength, energy, and joy; the logo is a pink flamingo (sa genti arrubia: the red-winged people), native to Sardinia's lagoons. Six permanent beers all named after places and features of the Sulcis Iglesiente, produced at 12,000 litres/year in 0.75L bottles. Slow Food Fusto award for consistent quality; Birra d'Italia 2011 1st place and Slow Food Birra Imperdibile 2021 for Flavia.

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.
