The small town of Codogno is located in picturesque Lombardy, south of Piacenza. Although the area and the country are known for their excellent wine, the people we would like to introduce to you below are not winemakers but brewers. Codogno is the home of the BrewFist brewery, which is now known not only in Italy.
The brains behind the northern Italian company are sales manager Andrea and brewer Pietro, a friendly team of two friends with a mission and a lot of perseverance. When the two decided to open their own brewery, they first had to climb a Mount Everest of paperwork and bureaucratic procedures. Many have failed at this summit, but Andrea and Pietro gritted their teeth and fought through. They were rewarded with a free pass for their brewery and the brewing could begin. In 2010, the two brewed the first batch of beer and presented the first four creations to the world: 24K, Jale, Fear and Burocracy took the craft beer world by storm and quickly made a name for the Italian brewers in the scene. More beers followed and demand continued to rise. Pietro and Andrea soon had to expand the original structure of their brewery and equip it with larger machines, and the team also grew.
The range that is responsible for BrewFist's popularity consists of a number of the finest craft beers. At first, the brewers only experimented with ingredients and classic beer styles, but over the years they expanded their repertoire to include some interesting ventures. In 2014, they decided to produce barrel-aged beers. However, to make a really good barrel-aged beer, you need to be patient. The barrels were purchased, the beer was brewed and bottled, and then it was a matter of waiting. Some of the beers have now fully matured and you can see for yourself that some things are absolutely worth the long wait. BrewFist has an ambitious plan: the brewery and its range should continue to grow and more and more people should be supplied with their delicious beer. The brewers do not forget their three standards. BrewFist's creations are unique beers with a drinkable character and outstanding quality.
At Brewpub Terminal 1 you can experience the passion of the brewers first hand and taste the fine beers. If you don't have a trip to Italy planned, you can get to know the exciting range of products from the BrewFist brewery here with us!
