THE BEER

The Transalpina beer from the Antica Contea brewery is a bottom-fermented amber beer that is neither filtered nor pasteurized. It is a beer made in the Austrian style invented by Anton Dreher in 1840 when he could start using lager yeast that had just been isolated.

It is an amber-coloured beer. The aroma is very intense and elegant. Soft and velvety on the palate with a sleek malt flavour that “dries the palate” on the finish.

Very easy to drink also, thanks to the low alcohol content of 4.3% vol.

Perfect for any occasion

THE BREWERY

The Antica Contea brewery was born in 2013 in Gorizia in Friuli Venezia Giulia. That year, two schoolmates, Andrea and Costantino, combined their two greatest passions, English-style craft beer and their territory.

Everything comes from a small workshop, little more than a garage, where the two friends seek originality and quality. It was indeed a challenge because all know Friuli Venezia Giulia as a land suited to the production of wine.

In 2016, the brewery moved to Piedimonte, in a new factory, with a new and larger production plant; here is also the taproom, an area dedicated to tasting, where you can find draft beer in a welcoming environment that reminds of an English pub.

The production has expanded and diversified in these ten years of activity, drawing inspiration from various Anglo-Saxon and Central European brewing traditions.

The beers of the Antica Contea brewery are ideal for those who prefer craft beer and want a quality product.
