Our Story
In the heart of Manhattan, New York, amidst the vibrant streets and rich cultural tapestry, there lived a brother and sister with a passion for creating and a love of flavor. Cosimo Bruno and Nicolina Bruno, descendants of Italian immigrants, were determined to craft a brew that would honor their heritage while captivating the taste buds of beer enthusiasts around the globe.
Born into a family deeply rooted in Italian traditions, Cosimo and Nicolina grew up surrounded by stories of their ancestors' winemaking prowess and a deep appreciation for the art of fermentation. As they reached adulthood, their shared love for brewing led them to embark on a remarkable journey of discovery and creativity.
Their first foray into the brewing world began in their father’s restaurant kitchen, where they experimented with different ingredients, meticulously honing their skills and perfecting their recipes. They infused traditional Italian flavors and ingredients, drawing inspiration from their father’s kitchen, and blended them with the craft brewing techniques they had learned from local experts.
Driven by their entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to share their creations with the world, Cosimo and Nicolina decided to establish their own beer, aptly named "Birra Galli Rossi " as a homage to their family's ancestral hometown in Southern Italy.
Galli Rossi Birra quickly became a neighborhood sensation, attracting locals and beer enthusiasts alike. Cosimo and Nicolina's meticulous attention to detail, unwavering commitment to quality, and genuine passion for their craft were evident in every sip of their beer. Each brew was a harmonious fusion of American brewing traditions and Italian flavors, resulting in a unique and unforgettable taste experience.
Their flagship beer, "Galli Rossi Lager," embodied the essence of their Italian-American heritage. Brewed with carefully selected malts, hops, and a secret blend of Mediterranean flavors, it captured the essence of Italy's lush countryside, evoking memories of sun-kissed vineyards and fragrant herb gardens.
Today, Galli Rossi stands as a testament to the vision, determination, and boundless creativity of Cosimo and Nicolina Bruno. Their American Italian beer not only tantalizes the taste buds but also weaves together the vibrant threads of their ancestral heritage and the rich tapestry of American brewing traditions, creating a beer that is truly a labor of love and a testament to the power of passion.
