PUBS AND BREWERIES IN FLORENCE


The beer in Florence (and in Italy) in general is not as good as abroad (like in Austria, in Germany or in Ireland for example...) ...If you are a real beer fan (like my friend Jimmy "five bellies") in Florence you'll be probably a little bit disappointed...if it can console you we can assure that a lot of pubs in Florence are really very nice from an architectural point of view...if it is but small consolation? Ok...let's go to drink to forget!...

P.S. Anyway, to be sincere in the last years the quality of beer in town (and in general in Italy) has greatly improved thanks to the opening of several high quality real Irish, English or German breweries..
