Birra Messina Ricetta Classica

Beer Description

Birra Messina Ricetta Classica is tied to the Sicilian brewing tradition of Messina, whose beer history dates to 1923. The brand became Heineken-connected through Heineken Italia’s portfolio, preserving a strong regional Italian lager identity. Ricetta Classica represents the familiar pale lager side of Messina: golden colour, filtered clarity, clean bottom fermentation, soft malt, and a crisp finish suited to Mediterranean drinking occasions. Within the archive, it helps document Italian regional beer heritage beyond the country’s largest national lager names.
