The Brewery
The Antica Contea brewery was born in 2013 in Gorizia in Friuli Venezia Giulia. That year, two schoolmates, Andrea and Costantino, combined their two greatest passions, English-style craft beer and their territory.
Everything comes from a small workshop, little more than a garage, where the two friends seek originality and quality. It was indeed a challenge because all know Friuli Venezia Giulia as a land suited to the production of wine.
In 2016, the brewery moved to Piedimonte, in a new factory, with a new and larger production plant; here is also the taproom, an area dedicated to tasting, where you can find draft beer in a welcoming environment that reminds of an English pub.
The production has expanded and diversified in these ten years of activity, drawing inspiration from various Anglo-Saxon and Central European brewing traditions.
The beers of the Antica Contea brewery are ideal for those who prefer craft beer and want a quality product.
