32 Via dei Birrai

Everyone knows that the worst part about a party is cleaning up. Waking up to a household that’s littered with PBR and Bud Light cans is enough to give anyone a headache. Thankfully, a recent renaissance is taking place in Italian breweries resulting in the same attention to quality and design that is found in the country’s more identifiable products such as wine and fast cars so you can at least wake up to a post-party mess that looks good.
The brewers at 32 Via dei Birrai are a case in point. Each of their beers is crafted with the utmost attention to taste. Their NECTAR ale, for instance, is brewed with strong aromatic chestnut honey while the darker ATRA is a winter beer that provides a light licorice, fruity, warm sensation.
However, what we enjoy most about 32 Via dei Birrai is the simple, smart packaging. Each 75cL bottle boasts a clean, industrial shape while adorning a synthetic colored cork that matches each bold subway like label. An assorted six pack of 32 is also a cause for appreciation as the bottles are packaged in a light cardboard box with arched windows, revealing each bottle’s dot label while alluding to classic Italian architecture.
