Home brews in Rome: the best destinations

If you love home brews and micro brews or if you’re plain avid drinkers here’s a review of the best destinations in Rome. A special selection of the best home breweries in Rome.

What is home brew?

Let’s try to define what home brew is! We may think of it as something that is homemade as opposed to an industrial process. When it comes to beer the industrial process would be a beer distributed in large quantity all over the market and readily available in supermarkets. Besides the commercial point of view, also the home brew is considered beer not pasteurized, produced without preservatives and using only top notch ingredients. So home brew is a fresh and unsophisticated product, 100% natural made with the four basic ingredients: water, barley malt, hops and yeast.
