Three new craft beers – Magma, Geyser and Sulfurea – are being produced by Vapori di Birra, a brewery and green start-up based near Larderello, thanks to the steam produced by Enel Green Power’s geothermal facility
Three new beers are being produced thanks to Enel Green Power’s geothermal production in Tuscany. Magma, Geyser and Sulfurea were created by the recently established Vapori di Birra in Sasso Pisano, near the Group’s Larderello production facilities, where it uses geothermal steam to produce its brews.
The idea of producing beer from steam from geothermal energy production process was conceived in 2011 and put into practice in last year by Vapori di Birra.
Edo Volpi, who had worked for some years in geothermal energy, asked master brewer Enrico Ciani to get involved in his beer project, which uses high-quality raw materials and has a supply chain that respects for the environment. By combining tradition and innovation the green start-up has become Italy’s first craft brewing company that uses geothermal steam to power its production, and it began producing the double malt Magma, the Sulfurea pale ale and the Weiss Geyser just this year.
