Where Cagliari drinks local: brewpubs, taprooms and the new wave.
Taprooms, brewpubs and the local beer scene in Cagliari worth taking a tram to.
Il Birrificio di Cagliari brews on Via Newton and pours its own beer beside grilled meat, the city's own brewpub rather than another bottle bar.
Order: The house lager alongside the grilled beef.
Tip: It took a Barcelona Beer Challenge gold for its Tuvixeddu; it sits out by the ring road, so it is a taxi rather than a walk from the Marina.
Brinkhoff's grills late on Via del Pozzetto in Cagliari, a German beer hall of pretzels, steaks and grappa whose kitchen runs on until 02:00.
Order: A grilled steak with a stein of German beer.
Tip: The kitchen stays on until 02:00, which covers the gap after concerts and late films; there is an outdoor space for the warm months.
Birrificio Barley brews outside Cagliari at Maracalagonis, the Sardinian brewery that built its name on beers fermented with local grape must.
Tip: Nicola Perra and Isidoro Mascia founded Barley in 2006; the grape-must beers are poured across Cagliari rather than at a city taproom.
