  • In 2021, Hugo, the son of Armelle and Dominique Sialelli, took over the reins of Brasserie Pietra.
    It was under his impetus that the project to develop barrel-aged beers at Brasserie Pietra was launched.
    Aging in oak barrels gives the beer new aromas, and enhances its body thanks to the transfer of the alcohol contained in the barrel and the essence of the wood.
    From this approach, expressing all of Brasserie Pietra's know-how, three fine beers were born: Pietra Sour Pale Ale, Pietra Double Blend Ale and Pietra Smoked Ale.

    The Barrel Aged range from Brasserie Pietra needs time to appreciate, without haste, so we can let ourselves be carried away by their surprising flavours.

    DOUBLE BLEND ALE

    This fine beer is the fruit of a high fermentation brew that has benefited from a generous amount of barley malt and wheat malt, to create a dense and alcoholic beer.
    Its aging for 6 months in barrels that have contained Niellucciu red wine for some and Vermentinu white wine for others, will allow the woody flavours to emerge by blending.

    [DNA]

  • Nose : Fresh, notes of tart apple, wood
  • Palate : Pleasant acidity, Granny Smith apple / honey, Vermentinu finish
  • Alc.% vol. : 8%
  • IBU : 14
  • A tasting beer with decidedly refreshing qualities.
  • Limited edition of 2,800 bottles
  • SOUR PALE ALE

    Looking to develop a Sour pale ale, the brewers selected barrels that were used to mature P&M Red Oak whisky, for their promise of developing clear acidity and fruity aromas, and Pietra IPA, for its body and aromatic qualities.
    The result is a fine, balanced Sour pale ale, intricate to the nose and mouth.

    [DNA]

  • Nose : Pleasant, notes of exotic fruits, wood, hint of cider
  • Palate : Clear acidity, touch of apple, crumble, candied fruits, pleasant sensation of alcohol
  • Alc.% vol. : 10%
  • IBU : 18
  • The first sip of Sour pale ale can be confusing, but is followed by a real tasting pleasure.
  • Limited edition of 1,200 bottles
  • SMOKED ALE

    Directly inspired by the Pietra recipe, this high fermentation beer combines barley malts and Corsican chestnut flour in a substantial quantity for an impressive rise in alcohol and aroma.
    Its aging for 6 months in barrels where P&M Tourbé whisky has previously matured, transfers the smoky flavour characteristic of this type of whisky.

    [DNA]

  • Nose : Intense smoke, fresh herbs, liquorice, peaty whisky
  • Palate : Powerful smoke, peaty, alcohol

A touch of apricot completes the balance of this recipe by adding a tangy touch that balances the roundness and sweetness of the almonds. All this gives this low fermentation beer a delicacy in the spirit of an apricot almond pie, a freshness and a perfect balance.

  • History

    On a summer evening, in 1992, Armelle and Dominique, both beer lovers, were sitting at the terrace of a bar in Corte, regretting one fact: they couldn’t enjoy a Corsican beer.

    Thus, they decided to create one. With this spark of an idea begins the story of Brasserie Pietra, the first brewery in the history of Corsica.

    The women and men of the brewery

    Armelle and Dominique sought to surround themselves with the best skills. They convinced Guy and Eric, both master brewers, to join them on the adventure. Muriel, a young Biology graduate from the University of Corte, joined the team to create the quality department. Laurent, a 17-year-old trainee at the time, discovered the brewing industry.

    Savoir-Faire

    A team ensures the guarantee of Brasserie Pietra’s know-how and quality.

    The recipes for Pietra’s beers are developed at the heart of the brewery.

    The Pietra team works on selecting the finest raw ingredients (malts, chestnut flour, hops, spices...) as well as watching over the breeding and propagation of its own yeasts. It monitors and safeguards the artisan manufacturing process and respect for the original recipes. Thus, the recipe for Pietra, the brewery’s flagship beer, has remained the same since its creation.

    A good environmental citizen

    Since opening in 1996, Brasserie Pietra has always shown concern for the preservation of the environment. Its development has gone hand in hand with ecological initiatives. Water management, CO₂ recovery, energy savings and waste treatment are among the actions implemented.

    Brasserie Pietra is also involved with numerous cultural, sports and charity associations whose actions are testimony to Corsican solidarity.
