When you think of Italian beverages, beer isn't the first thing that comes to mind. However, there are several Italian breweries that have been perfecting their craft for over 150 years, as is Peroni's case. Peroni is the largest Italian brewing company. Their two main products are regular Peroni and Nastro Azzuro, with the later being the more popular. The Peroni popularity is likely derived from its long history and affordability. You can pick up a 32 oz. Peroni or Nastro Azzuro at the grocery store for about 1 Euro. Other European beers such as Heineken and Becks sell for about 1.50 Euro for a 32 oz. bottle. And for the price, neither aren't bad at all.
Another Italian beer is Birra Moretti. Birra Moretti is a cheaper beer that sells for about .70 Euro for a 32 oz. in the grocery store. Personally, I did not enjoy Moretti all that much as I found it pretty bitter. For me, I found it fairly apparent that this beer was of lesser quality than any of the Peroni's. However, opinions do vary. Fellow CAS Rome 2008 student Dom Cifelli happens to really enjoy Moretti.
Lastly, I realize that for many who visit Italy, wine would be the desired alcoholic option. And I couldn't agree more. However, if you are in the mood for a brewski, don't be quick to write off the Italian beers just because they are overshadowed by their vineyard counterparts.
