Crisp air, pure water, and deep-rooted tradition. Meet the beer that captures the Dolomites.
When it comes to Italian food and drink, where something comes from is just as important as what's inside the package. Or in this case, the bottle. Birra Dolomiti is no exception. Its beers are shaped by tradition and local ingredients… so much so that the brewery is named after the Dolomite Mountains that surround the town of Pedavena in northeastern Italy, where this renowned birra is produced.
Birra Dolomiti’s surroundings are more than picturesque. The Dolomites have been a defining influence on the historic brewery since the late 1800s, when Austrian brewmasters met Italian ingredients sourced from the Alpine region. Mineral-rich spring water gives the beer its clean, fresh taste, while the barley used is harvested in the surrounding Italian valleys.
Despite being over 100 years old, the brewery has remained true to its craft. Since launching the Birra Dolomiti label in 2006, it has focused on craftsmanship over trends. Birra Dolomiti beers are known for their balance, drinkability, and effortless enjoyment. They’re intentionally designed to be savored with good food, great conversation, and shared moments. By keeping things simple, Birra Dolomiti continues to create beers that elevate simple dishes and complement seasonal ingredients.
Two beers to have on your radar are Birra Dolomiti Pils and Birra Dolomiti Rossa. The Pils is pale in color, with a light yet rich hops flavor that lends a nice bitterness. It feels fresh on the palate, so it pairs well with chicken or pork, risottos, and fried foods. The Rossa is darker in color and has a deeper flavor layered with intense caramel notes and a subtle bitter malt taste. It’s rich without being heavy, so it’s ideal with braised meats and Alpine cheeses.
Birra Dolomiti captures a strong connection to the Dolomite Mountains in every bottle, embracing local ingredients to create a perfect blend of geography, tradition, and crisp Alpine winters in each sip.
