    Three Happy Brewers

    Bucharest, Romania

    WORLDWIDE FLAVORS, PASSIONATELY CRAFTED IN BUCHAREST. Our story starts in Bucharest. The place that brought us together and captivated us. It all began in 2015 when we started making beer for ourselves, because we yearned for something more. We are David, Michele and Giulio. Before that beginning are our three individual stories, with one common denominator: the world. We have all traveled around it to pick the ingredients that go into our beer. And if "beer is a way to travel", then the cycle is closed. And ready to begin again, in the country that has convinced us to settle and mix the spices. People fell in love with the aromas of those first brew kettles, and we wanted to make beers that more people could talk about. Talk about over a beer - of course. We are three friends who got together on a simple mission: to make fresh, pure, true-to-craft beer, recreating rare styles, our own reinterpretations of classics, and some weirder things. Beer is a craft that people have reinvented and personalised throughout the centuries and all over the world. We aspire to become its ultimate craftsmen.

    Fabrica Grivița

    București, Romania

    Telling the story of GRIVIȚA BREWERY is a bit of a historian’s undertaking. In order to get the full picture, you’d first have to go back in time, to 1869, when the German entrepreneur Erhard Luther opened a brewery in Bucharest. It became known as ‘Fabrica de Bere Luther’, and in the decades that followed, it became one of the best known breweries in the country, with an impact on the market that ranged from legislative changes to hop growing initiatives, as well as producing some of the country’s most popular beers. After the Communist Party rose to power in 1948, the brewery was renamed ‘Fabrica Grivița’, then renamed again in the 70’s to ‘Fabrica Gambrinus’, yet it continued to be a staple on the Romanian beer scene of those times. Things took a downward turn for the brewery after the Revolution in 1989, and, following a series of privatizations that became common after the fall of Communism, it was sold to Austrian Breweries in 2001. Things started looking up when, in 2019, Matei Lucescu, grandson of renown Romanian football coach Mircea Lucescu, decided to revive the GRIVIȚA brand, and opened a brewery with the same name. One brewing course in the UK and a 1 million euro investment later, production began in June 2019, and our beers went live on the market the following month. GRIVIȚA Brewery acts as both an independent brewery and a brewpub, with its own bar and terrace, the perfect place to try our beers fresh from the source.
