As a beergetarian, I had to stop in the Cortona craft brewery during our visit. Overall, I think…read morethis is worth a stop when you are here. I tried the NazionAle, a blonde ale, and the ColoniAle, an IPA. The NazionAle was easy drinking, what we would call a lawnmower beer in Florida, something for hot days, or socializing without getting messed up. The ColoniAle was a decent IPA, a little less hoppy than the typical IPA that I am used to drinking in the US. There is a full menu available, but we had already eaten earlier, so settled for fagioli cannellini alla'olio (cannellini beans in olive oil), and a pretzel (brezen) with nutella. The beans were good; the pretzel was seemingly stale, and a little tough to eat. The place is warm and intimate inside. There are some seats at the bar, but seating is typically at tables. Service was typical of what we have experienced in Italy, which is to say, not very attentive; I had to flag down a server to get a second beer. But, it is something I am used to having travelled to Europe several times.

The restaurant is quaint, charming, and cozy and located in quieter part of town. An expansive selection of craft brews as well as wines were offered. My wife and I ordered the insalata mistas, Ravioli di Pecorino Salvia, and the Pici Al Ragu. We were very pleased with our selections and the all the dishes met our satisfaction. The ravioli was served hot and fresh with a pecorino cheese, sage, and walnuts. A nice change, creative, and delicious. My Pici was al dente with a very tasty red duck sauce. Perfect combination of Ragu and pasta. The service was very good and friendly. The prices were reasonable. Overall, it was a very good dining experience and worth the visit.

Antonio gives you a full tour of his brewery and then a very generous tasting. I love how passionate he is about pairing his beer with food from the area which he gives you to eat with the tasting. This a very intimate experience and is a nice break from the wine scene. His beer is very reasonable prices and comes in two sizes. Our group really enjoyed the XL strong ale. All of his beer has a great story and flavorful taste. The place is easy to find and has plenty of parking. If you are in the area look Antonio up on Air B&B and schedule a trip to this great brewery.
