Italian Beer

Beer is known and drank in Italy since ancient times: even if Etruscans, Greeks from the Magna Grecia cities and Romans favored wine, they brewed and consumed the blond drink. Roman Emperor Agricola became a fan of beer during his service as governor of Britannia. When he raised to the Imperial throne and came back to Italy in 83 AD, he took with him three master brewers from Glevum and opened the first "pub" in Italy.

Today beer is especially loved by young people, that see it as an informal drink, opposed to the much more formal wine. Pub-styled bars are still going strong in Italy and they have spread the love for the more exotic brands of beer.
