The Beer
Baronessa takes the very best of the English bitter tradition — that warm, malty, slightly earthy character that has made it Britain's most enduring pub staple — and reimagines it in Italy, where brewing precision and ingredient quality are taken seriously.
At 3.1% ABV, Baronessa sits firmly in the historic "small beer" category: a strength that was standard for everyday drinking in Britain for centuries before strong lager changed habits. The flavour is full, the finish is clean, and the next morning is considerably kinder.
This is beer for people who want to drink more slowly, more thoughtfully, and more often.
Appearance: Clear amber with a fine, persistent off-white head.
Aroma: Biscuity malt, a hint of toffee, subtle earthy hop notes.
Palate: Smooth malt backbone, gentle bitterness, clean and dry towards the finish.
Finish: Short, dry, refreshing — leaves you wanting another.
Small beer is one of the oldest styles in European brewing history. Before clean water was reliable, low-alcohol beer was the safe, nourishing daily drink of households across Britain and Europe. It fell out of fashion as stronger styles dominated the 20th century — but the philosophy behind it never stopped making sense.
Birretta is bringing it back for a generation that values flavour, mindfulness, and the pleasure of drinking well without drinking heavily.
