Founded as a small handicraft production activity, the Collesi Company has earned a prominent place in the quality beers and spirits industry, both in Italy and abroad. Solid experience, expertise gained over time, a particular attention to the quality of raw materials, along with the respect of ancient and valuable methods of brewers and distillers, make Collesi the privileged representative of those who can recognize fermented beers in bottles and distillates of absolute excellence. The Imper Ale beer comes from Belgian master brewers, who right from the start has worked to achieve a perfectly balanced beer with great appeal, true to the Belgian Trappist brewing traditions of which he is one of the foremost exponents.

The fine organoleptic qualities of Collesi beer are also the result of the brewery’s prime geographical location. The hard limestone water from Mount Nerone is one of Europe’s finest for brewing, adding precious value. The barley is grown in the Collesi family’s own fields, and after being malted at the Marche regional malthouse returns to the brewery as malt to be used in beer-making.

The high and natural fermentation in the bottle of the beers, unpasteurized, guarantees the best expression of a full taste, which keeps the flavors of each ingredient. The distillates produced with a discontinuous method in steam boiler, are enriched with aromas of alcohol at the right time, resulting in a soft and refined taste. The perfect preservation of the marcs, carefully selected, is guaranteed by the ideal altitude for low humidity and wide temperature range of the Distilleries Collesi.

The passion comes from Giuseppe Collesi, who is taking its beers to every part of the world – from the United States to Japan, from Russia to Northern Europe – along with a constant and continuous growth.Finally, and certainly no less important, the ingredients.

In absolute coherence with slow-food principles, Collesi rewards the expectations of consumers looking for quality and genuine ingredients, respect for nature and the continuity of traditions in beers and distillates as well. In full accordance with these fundamental values, all Collesi products are made without shortcuts, scrupulously following rigorous criteria and ancient methods.
