The Ultimate Guide to Mastri Birrai Umbri: Exploring Italy's Award-Winning Gluten-Free Craft Beer Collection
If you have ever believed that going gluten-free meant giving up great beer, Mastri Birrai Umbri is here to prove otherwise. Born from the rolling hills of Umbria in central Italy, this exceptional brewery has redefined what gluten-free craft beer can be. Not a compromise. A celebration of Italian craftsmanship, heritage, and flavor that everyone can enjoy, including those living with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
At Tita Italian, we proudly carry the full Mastri Birrai Umbri collection, bringing authentic Italian gourmet culture directly to your doorstep across the United States.
Who Is Mastri Birrai Umbri?
Mastri Birrai Umbri translates to "Master Brewers of Umbria," and that name carries genuine weight. Rooted in the agricultural heartland of Umbria, the brewery operates one of the shortest ingredient-to-bottle supply chains in all of Europe.
Over 1,000 hectares of Umbrian farmland grow the spelt, barley, wheat, and aromatic hops that go into every bottle. The brewing water is drawn from a natural spring in Gualdo Tadino, one of central Italy's most pristine sources.
Mastri Birrai Umbri grows, harvests, and brews its own ingredients. That level of traceability and terroir is something most craft breweries in the world simply cannot match.
What Makes Their Gluten-Free Craft Beer Stand Apart?
Producing gluten-free craft beer that genuinely tastes like beer is one of brewing's most demanding technical challenges. Under EC Regulation 41/2009, a beer qualifies as gluten-free only when its gluten content falls below 20 parts per million (ppm).
Mastri Birrai Umbri achieves this using carefully selected enzymes that break down grain proteins during brewing, without stripping the beer of its character.
The results speak for themselves. Their "Isabella" gluten-free craft beer won recognition at the prestigious Gluten Free Awards in 2018, making it a true award-winning gluten-free craft beer on the international stage.
Every qualifying beer is independently verified and listed in the AIC (Italian Celiac Disease Association) handbook, carrying the globally recognized crossed-out ear of corn symbol. Safe, certified, and outstanding.
The Collection: Three Beers Worth Knowing
Cotta Crafted to Remove Gluten Mastri Birrai Umbri (IPA)
The star of the gluten-free craft beer lineup. The Cotta Crafted to Remove Gluten Mastri Birrai Umbri is a deep amber IPA with copper reflections, delivering intense hop aromas with citrus and resinous notes.
On the palate, pronounced but balanced bitterness meets caramel malt sweetness, finishing dry with fruity undertones. Perfect with spicy dishes, aged cheeses, and grilled meats. Serve between 6 and 8 degrees Celsius.
Mastri Birrai Umbri Italian Blonde Ale Cotta 21
The Mastri Birrai Umbri Italian Blonde Ale Cotta 21 is an unfiltered witbier-style blonde crafted from Italian spelt and select malts.
It pours a hazy golden color with lemon blossom and summer fruit aromas, finishing smooth and refreshingly herbaceous. An ideal match for seafood, light pasta, and fresh cheeses.
Natural sediment may appear at the bottom of the bottle. That is not a flaw. That is craft.
Mastri Birrai Umbri Italian Golden Ale Cotta 68
The Mastri Birrai Umbri Italian Golden Ale Cotta 68 draws from the strong ale tradition.
Full-bodied, luminous golden, and built for depth. Citrus and resinous hop aromas lead into a rich, persistent finish. This is a beer for those who want real character in every sip.
