ARIES Tuscan Craft Brewery is located between Florence and Pisa, in Fucecchio, along the route of the "Via Francigena". How did ARIES Brewery come about? Aries Craft Brewery’s history is one of passion for the production of craft beer, born from the idea of satisfying a personal desire that soon became a daily reality. After an abundant and exciting decade of homebrewing, we also began to offer a specialization course, and finally the brewery was founded. It was born in Fucecchio, in the province of Florence, in the summer of 2018, where today we continue to cultivate the passion for this ancient beverage, by the strong will, determination and passion of Daniele the "Brewer". "From nature...the best bubbles" We produce our beers without the help of any additives or preservatives. Only nature and passion make our beers genuine and sincere, an expression of our commitment and infinite passion for the quality of our products. Our production is one of unfiltered beers, which are unpasteurized and not stressed with processes that could alter the quality of the raw materials that we always chose meticulously, with a natural maturation in compliance with the time needed for proper fermentation. Daniele has put into practice the knowledge acquired in his experience of "home" production, through the curiosity to understand the characteristics of raw materials, carrying out specific experiments and procedures focusing on the preservation and maintenance of properties – all of which were obviously reinforced with specialized courses for the acquisition of specific skills. The production consists in the processing of raw materials and covers all phases: from the picking to the grinding of barley, to mashing, filtration, whirpool, addition of yeast and fermentation, first in the fermenter and then in the bottle or barrel, all processes which are carried out internally, in our brewery. Even with the difficulties encountered in the last two years, due to the pandemic, the brewery continues to work without losing focus on product quality and on the acquisition of new digital skills, which keep the business in step with the demands of the current market; with the opening of an e-commerce platform and social media activity with the feed @birrificioaries, which support our laboratory and attached store, we are ready to take back in hand the catering market, which in this critical period had experience a powerful brake.
