Struzzati! — Belgian Saison — Birrificio Exuvia

Struzzati! is the Belgian Saison crafted by Birrificio Exuvia, an artisanal brewery from Campo Ligure (Genoa, Liguria). The beer most frequently brewed at home by then-homebrewer Enrico Di Stefano was a Saison. That recipe has been refined over the years and now that he has a brewery with a great setup, the brewmaster had fun producing it first. The result is Struzzati!: a Belgian-style Saison that, beyond its great dryness, offers a good balance among all its ingredients, with special attention to the spicy and fruity aromas of the yeasts.

The story: from homebrewing to the brewery

Struzzati! is Enrico Di Stefano’s original beer: the recipe he refined for years on his home stove, sip by sip, until reaching perfect balance. When he opened Exuvia, choosing to produce it first was natural — a tribute to his roots and the journey that took a passionate homebrewer to become a brewmaster.
