My husband says their IPAs are some of the best he's ever had and I'm a big fan of their lagers, stouts, and sours. They have collaborated with some great Stateside breweries like Other Half and Cigar City. So, those are especially fun beers to try. We love their outdoor beer garden (there is some indoor seating as well) -- lots of seating, dog friendly, foosball table. The atmosphere reminds me a lot of Austin, TX breweries. Parking is easy and plentiful. Not always the case in Italy! They also have a small food counter that serves delicious "brico," bread topped with all sorts of local ingredients such as squash blossoms, 'nduja, sausage, salami, peppers, and more! Be sure to check out their offerings when you visit and order one or two. They are not to be missed!

My husband and I are beer lovers. Naturally, when we moved to Italy from Charlotte a few months…read moreago, we were really worried about leaving behind all the wonderful craft breweries in North Carolina. So, you can only imagine our pure joy when we discovered Birrone just a few minutes from our new home in Caldogno! They have an extensive offering (8+ beers on draught and even more in the bottle) with something for everyone. I.E. they had an IPA for my hop-head husband and every other style for me. My favorite was the wheat beer, Cibus. Described as "pane liquido" (liquid bread) on the bottle, it was one of the best beers I've had in a while! And, I'm not just saying that because it's hard to find good beer in Italy. Their Cibus could easily hold its own in the US beer scene. The tap room doubles as a restaurant with lots of tasty Italian versions of bar food. On our first visit, we ordered the Tagliere Misto XL, a cutting board that came heaped with piles of porchetta, prosciutto, speck and cheese. Way too much food for 2-people but it was only €10 so we couldn't resist!

What an awesome find! It doesn't hurt that it is 10 minutes from my wife and I in caldogno. This…read moreplace is perfect if you are looking for a beer and food combo not found too often here in Italy. The tagliere board, meat board, is an incredible value and includes three killer meats for about 10€, unbeatable. The fries are solid as well. They have hoppy beer selections which is not too common in the area. I had a double India Pale Lager and another single IPL. They were both very heavy on the bready malt and had strong hop bitterness with a little boozyness as well. Solid, extra points for willingness to make a high hop beer. Their star was the wheat beer my wife had. It was incredible and since we are only a couple hours from Germany, not a huge surprise their wheat beer was really good. I like this place, it is unique for this area and reminds me of a place you would find in North Carolina.

It's a little out of the city center, so the parking's a bit better, but only a bit. We both ordered the BrewDog Punk IPA, a standard West Coast IPA, which was decent. I even ordered another. I got the Salmon LT sandwich, a club with salmon as opposed to bacon. Toasted, which is common in this region of Italy. Tasty, although I might have enjoyed it with a little less cream cheese. My buddy ordered the hamburger with guacamole. The burger bordered on raw, but je enjoyed it. Staff was friendly and helpful, letting us sample some of the beers before we ordered. It's a good-sized place with tons of tables, inside and out. We arrived about 6:30, and the place was mostly empty. But it filled quickly after 7 with many folks stopping for a beer and snack after work.

The down stairs (basement level) restaurant was not open yet but they were serving beer just outside of the entrance on the first floor, middle of the mercato. For beers we had a blond and two pale ales. The ales had a nice red color and a great malty finish to them and although high abv at around 8% they went down rather easy. At €4.5 for a medium pour it seemed well worth it. Their were plenty of tables inside to sit at and the food court offered many great selections if you are hungry.

The owner Daniele is amazing and super funny, his sandwiches are perfect for a quick lunch and he makes a point of spoiling tourists! His Parma ham is just THE BEST (source: I grew up in Parma): make it an appetizer for a perfect tasting ("due fette di crudo di Parma")! He also has a good selection of beers, with beers from Germany, Belgium and many other European countries as well as Italian classics and craft beers. Ask the waitress, or simply check out the beer fridge. The place is simple and rustic, prices are very honest and the atmosphere is informal and easy going. You will feel totally at home.

There are a few breweries here and there but even rarer is the bar with multiple craft beers on tap. This place, nestled in the bustling old town of Parma is one of the best places for a beer lover in town. They had 10 beers on tap, an awesome Christmas Ale, a solid NEIPA and several other offerings I did not try this trip. Add to this their excellent Tagliere (meat and cheese board) and you have a winning combo. Meat and cheese boards are the standard in Italy obviously but this place takes it from old world Italy and refines it a bit adding a nice fig jam, local honey and the typical regional offerings of Parma. I really enjoyed this place, it will be a must go on the next trip to Parma.
