Founded in 1997, San Gabriel is a brewery located near Treviso that is committed to the "purity" of the Reinheitsgebot and the greatness of the products of the Veneto. Following the basic Bavarian recipe, the company sources much of their barley and hops from local producers, and they take great pride with their local source of water. However, they also produce seasonal beers from local products that are definitely not kosher with the Bavarians: figs, radicchio, and chestnuts from Treviso; yellow peppers from Zero Bianco; rice from Isola della Scala. Despite their professed adherence to the Bavarian law, this brewery is, in the end, an Italian type through and through.
