Italy

Southern Europe

Italy had almost no brewing culture until the late 1990s and now has one of the most inventive in Europe. Its clearest contribution is the Italian pilsner, a German style dry-hopped into something else entirely, and now brewed worldwide under a name that did not exist thirty years ago.

Fig. 2. Circle area is beers on record for that town. Labels appear as room allows, so zooming in reveals towns rather than enlarging them. Only towns whose coordinates could be sourced are drawn, so an unmarked town means a missing coordinate rather than a town without beer.

Oldest brewery with a sourced year: Birra Menabrea, 1846.

These are facts about this record, not about the world. They are counted from the beers on file, and the atlas is only as deep as its sources: 74% of everything it holds is American or Dutch, because that is what the bulk import reached, not because that is where beer is. So the styles most often recorded in Italy are not necessarily the ones most often brewed there, and a country with few beers here has a thin record rather than a thin brewing scene.
