WAR Brewery was founded in Cassina de' Pecchi, in the province of Milan, and is a prime example of the growing passion for craft beer in Italy. Established in 2017 by Francesco Radaelli, WAR (an acronym for We Are Rising) was created with the aim of modernizing the family farm by offering innovative craft beers with a distinctive character.
The decision to start the brewery was driven by the desire to break traditional molds, bringing a fresh and creative approach to the world of beer. From the beginning, the brand has focused on quality, sustainability, and a strong connection to the territory: it is, in fact, a farm brewery that grows more than 80% of the barley later transformed into malt for beer production.
The young and dynamic team running the company completes the picture and is a true example of how business, craftsmanship, quality, and fun can coexist in a craft brewery.
The craft beer can, between design and sustainability
After an initial period of bottling, WAR Brewery has become an icon in the Italian craft scene for its distinctive cans. The choice to switch formats comes from multiple factors: the can is lighter, allows better product preservation, is more stackable and therefore easier to transport, is recyclable, and often recycled.
Moreover, WAR is among the producers who have best exploited the wider label that fully wraps the can. The combination of Elisa Previtali’s illustrations (Mindwarp Design) and the creative names chosen for each beer has made the brewery very popular and reputable.

Why WAR cans are the right choice
