Back in 1859 in Udine, Italy Luigi Moretti started the Birra Moretti Brewery and named his beer Moretti. Today the brewery is owned by the huge Heineken group and now brews the beer in Castello, but is still brewed very close to the original recipe. The pale ale is the main brand and the one that is normally exported it is a 4.6% alcohol volume pale lager, and today the beer is sold in over 30 countries. The beer uses a low fermentation method which is meant to give the beer its light golden colour and smooth taste. The beer is a wonderful match for Italian style foods including fresh seafood and rich pastas and salads.

In the beautiful city of

Merano in the Italian Alps Forst Brewery have been brewing beer since 1857. Using crystal clear ice water and fresh Alpine ingredients the beer the Forst Brewery produces is crisp and fresh. The brewery produces quiet a few products including Pils a Bock and a light but the Forst Premium is the product you will find outside

Italy. The Forst company also operates a number of restaurants where traditional Alpine Italian cuisine mixes so well with their tasty beers. Keep any eye out for a Forst beer next time you visit your local Italian restaurant- you won’t be disappointed.
