To beer or not to beer...

If you are a beer connoisseur looking for some genuine, home-brewed beer, Il Bovaro in Porta San Frediano (tel. 055.2207057) is the only independent microbrewery in Florence.
Il Bovaro’s own brand list includes "Axel" (double malt), "Ricky" (lager), "Ugo" (light pilsen) e "Titian" (red).
The beer comes straight from the tanks in full view in one of the 14th century rooms with bare brick vaults. The Venturi bros, Daniele and Tiziano, produce their excellent beers from barley malt in compliance with the traditional brewing process.
They also make special beers on different occasions throughout the year, and keep them in the natural cold store of the 12th century cellar.
Additionally, Il Bovaro offers a choice of food carefully selected to enhance the taste of its beers: pasta dishes and cured meats, cheeses with mustard or truffle-scented honey.
No wonder Il Bovaro has quickly made a name for itself for the perfect mix of excellent beers, fine cuisine, unique setting and discreet yet friendly service.
