Nestled in northwest Italy, Piedmont is a region famed for its prestigious vineyards and culinary finesse — but its craft beer scene is quietly forging a bold identity. Here, tradition meets innovation, with brewers crafting refined lagers and pale ales that complement the region’s gastronomic sophistication.
Expect elegant beers boasting fresh hop aromas, balanced bitterness, and a clean, crisp finish — a perfect match for Piedmont’s celebrated cheeses and slow-cooked dishes. The signature Piemonte lager stands out: smooth, golden, and effortlessly drinkable, it pays homage to classic European styles while embracing modern craft sensibilities.
Piedmont’s brewers are pioneers in blending local ingredients with international techniques, creating beers that are as expressive and nuanced as the region’s famed wines. Whether sipping a hazy wheat ale or a hop-forward session IPA, the craft beer lover will find Piedmont a destination of quiet refinement and surprising depth.

Birrificio San Michele | Via Terzo Reggimento Alpini, 10/A, 10057 Sant’Ambrogio di Torino TO
At Birrificio San Michele, the beers are shaped by the magic of the Susa Valley — alpine water, ancient village streets, and the presence of the Sacra di San Michele. Every bottle reflects care, quality, and a story of place and flavor. Next to the brewery, the restaurant offers traditional beer-inspired dishes and creative pairings, made with select, high-quality ingredients.
