My passion stems from my family. My father, as well as my grandfather, moved to Belgium for work. Even though I was still young to drink, I would accompany them to the pubs in the city. In those places, the beer culture was strongly felt, and I noticed it immediately, so much so that my father had a well-stocked cellar himself. This memory stayed with me and resurfaced around the age of 25 when I decided to dive in and start brewing beer in my home garage. It was a trend that was emerging around that time, as the first brewing kits began to be sold. I went to Cremona, to La Fabbrica della Birra, a very famous venue at the time, where they held courses with pioneers of craft brewing, such as Agostino Arioli, who is now a true guru in the industry. After completing the course, I started with my first trials. Along with a group of friends, I enjoyed finding solutions to mechanize the homebrewing process, which was initially done with simple pots and ladles. I was fascinated by the mechanics of the entire process and the machinery used; I am naturally curious, I like to understand every phase that leads to the finished product. And I think it’s this trait of mine that pushed me more than anything else.
