The Flea Brewery is the flagship of our company. While maintaining the product and its processing totally artisanal, it possesses a state-of-the-art plant, installed in 2020, capable of guaranteeing high quality standards and very significant production numbers. The malts used for the production of our craft beers derive from barley cultivated solely by the family farm, allowing the Flea Brewery to link its entire production to an important and transparent characteristic: the short food chain. Starting precisely from the barley to the water, which flows naturally from the springs that make Gualdo Tadino famous throughout the world.

The barley of Birra Flea has its roots in a history that comes from afar. It was in Gualdo Tadino, near the Rocca Flea (from which our beer takes its name), that Emperor Frederick II passed through around 1242, during the years of opposition to the papacy, and found the faithful Ghibelline town of Gualdo prostrate after the terrible fire that had destroyed the previous settlement. Moved by the fate of the allied city, the Sovereign wanted to give a sign of his munificence by endowing it with a defensive wall and restoring the Rocca, laying the first stone with his own hands. He also 'rode around the territory, sowed wheat, barley, spelt, broad beans, millet and other essences with his own hands, asking Almighty God to make the castle grow and multiply its population and deign to assure them food and every good and security as an eternal pledge'.

From the renowned waters of Gualdo Tadino, from the seeds sown centuries ago by Emperor Frederick II, Flea Craft Beer is born today. And from the passion of Matteo and Maria Cristina for the fantastic stories of heroes, ladies and witches that are told in Umbria, the names of their beers were born: Isabella, Adelaide, Bianca Lancia, Margherita, Costanza, Anais, Federico II, Federico II Extra, Bastola and Violante.
