Bastian Contrario

Order A taster row across Miss Matilda, Agosto 1922 and Dusky Treat.

Bastian Contrario has brewed independently in Parma since 2015, growing from a pub into a brand with its own kit, eleven taps and a 1969 trailer bar.

Birrificio Gregorio

Order Pilotta, the pale named for the palace, with the kitchen's burger.

Birrificio Gregorio brews Valera, Pilotta and Lady Rauch behind its own brewpub taps on Via Reggio in Parma, the mother house of a four-venue beer family.

Birrificio del Ducato

Order Viaemilia, the grower-hopped pils that built the reputation.

Birrificio del Ducato, founded in Parma's Bassa in 2007, is Italy's most-medalled craft brewery; Viaemilia took Best Pilsner at the 2026 Cerevisia Awards.
