Appointment in Pedavena with the traditional festival to celebrate the harvest of barley, essential ingredient in the production of local beer. Founded in 1897, Fabbrica di Pedavena is a symbol of local culture, which produces beer with high quality ingredients such as 100% Italian cereals and selected hops. Here tradition is combined with technology, respecting specific fermentation times and maturing the beer at 0 to obtain unique flavors.
The factory uses proudly the barley malt from the Dolomites, cultivated thanks an integrated supply chain project which involves different towns of the province of Belluno and the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park, in addition to spring water from the Vette feltrine.
During the fest, you can see the opening of the barrel, a toast to the new harvest and to the new production of beer.
The park will offer activities for all ages, particularly the laboratory of the bread with barley with some experts of the cooperative “La Fiorita”, a workshop to learn how to make beer with an experimental plant led by Master Brewer Nicola and several musical events.
You can also visite the historical factory, the bewhouse anch the Historical Museum, admiring old tools and equipment.
The grand finale will see the parade of tractors - as a recognition to farmers who bring barley for Dolomiti beer - and the parades of the districts of the Feltre Palio!
