UNIVERSE
OF CRAFT BEER
IS EVOLVING
BETWEEN
MICROBREWERIES
AND INDUSTRY
Italian craft beer is less than 30 years old, a new
wave that follows the Italian approach to beer
started in the country’s industrial plants in the
mid-1800s. In recent times, with the acquisition
of Birrificio del Borgo by the multinational giant
AbInbev, however, that cycle comes full circle
with the arrival of large investments.
What happened in the meantime? And mostly,
what will the future be like? Will craft beer still
exist? And how will it be?
