micro breweries in chianti

[zvih275]

I will be traveling to the Chianti beginning of April 2015 and would like to visit a beer brewery if there are any. Any tips?

they are not in Chianti (they are located within the province of Siena) but they produce home-brewed beers of outstanding quality.

Thank you.

Thank you. I have heard that La Birroteca di Greve is worth a visit (we will be staying at tavarnelle).

While Tuscany and Chianti is mostly known for its wine, there is a lot of micro-brewing going at a local, artisan level, even in Florence. Here's a longer list: http://www.microbirrifici.org/Toscana_birrifici_regione.aspx

The Birroteca in Greve is more like a beer bar, and not a brewery itself. But it is great in that it offers a lot of local beers for you to taste.

Have fun on your adventure!
