Birra Ichnusa Classica

Beer Description

Birra Ichnusa Classica is the core Sardinian lager identity founded in Cagliari in 1912. The brand later became part of Heineken Italia, carrying a strong regional identity into a wider national and international brewing portfolio. Ichnusa Classica is known for pale golden colour, filtered clarity, bottom fermentation, balanced malt, and accessible bitterness suited to Mediterranean refreshment. Within the archive, it represents one of Italy’s most distinctive regional lager brands, strongly tied to Sardinian culture, symbolism, and everyday beer drinking.
