Beer Tasting near Rome: A Complete Guide to Podere 676

If you're researching beer tasting experiences near Rome, you've probably noticed two things: there are more options than you'd expect, and most of them are taprooms with a flight of beers and not much else.

The guided tasting at Podere 676 is structured differently. Here's exactly what happens, from start to finish.

The four moments of the experience

Arrival and the story of the farm

One of the founding cousins meets you at the gate. Before anyone touches a glass, they tell you the story: grandfather Pietro, the land received from Ente Maremma in 1953, the decision in 2020 to turn a working farm into a craft brewery.

It's not a corporate brief. It's a family story, told by someone who lives it. Past visitors regularly mention this moment in their reviews.

The hop fields walk

You walk through the Cascade hop rows. 700+ plants, growing in the Roman countryside with the sea visible on clear days. In summer you can smell the fresh hops. In autumn you see the harvest in progress.

This is the part of the experience that most city visitors find genuinely surprising — the physical scale of it, and the realisation that what they're about to drink grew here.

The brewery

We brew in the restored hayloft of the 1953 farmhouse. The equipment is serious: an Enobeer Compact 300 brewhouse, FCR60C 600-litre fermenters, and a RICAMO isobaric bottling line that fills bottles gently to preserve the beer's structure and aroma.

Your guide walks you through the entire process — from mashing and lautering to fermentation, conditioning and bottling. CCPB organic certification is explained in context: what it means, why it matters, how it affects every decision we make.

The tasting

Three or four beers, depending on what's in production that day. The current lineup:

N° 51 Pilsner — light, crisp, floral. A perfect introduction. N° 3 Kölsch — golden, delicate, highly drinkable. N° 5 IPA — aromatic hop-forward, the one that surprises non-IPA drinkers most. N° 50 APA — citrus notes, balanced bitterness. N° 14 Bock — malty, warming, rich. N° 11 Stout — roasted, smooth, dark.

Each beer is paired with Roman pinsa, taglieri (charcuterie and cheese boards), and often the Birramisù — our beer-infused take on tiramisù that has its own dedicated fanbase among returning visitors.
