Birra Messina

In the old brewery in the city centre of Messina, Francesco Presti and Francesco Faranda created a beer with the colours and aromas of Sicily. Initially called Birra Trinacria, it was later renamed after its city of origin. This is how Birra Messina was born, the pride of this unique land. This recipe was born from the inspiration of Messina's master brewers, who selected a special ingredient: Sicilian salt crystals.

Birra Messina's success grew over the years and, in 1999, the old brewery could no longer sustain demand. Unable to expand or move the brewery out of the city centre, they were forced to transfer production to Massafra, in Puglia, to a more modern factory. In 2007, bottling was also transferred to Massafra, where Birra Messina continues to be made to this day with the same care and attention as always.
