What Birrificio Artigianale Napoletano does

Birrificio Artigianale Napoletano is a craft brewery based in Naples, Italy, operating as a brand of Top Distribuzione S.r.l., a private wholesale distributor serving the Ho.Re.Ca (Hotels, Restaurants, Cafés) sector. Founded circa 2019 at a single production facility in the San Pietro area of Naples (Traversa Rondinella), it claims to be the first craft brewery in the city of Naples with its own production facility and internal laboratory, and the first craft brewery 4.0 in Italy. Headcount is 11 employees.

The production platform centers on a modern Industry 4.0 facility with nearly fully automated fermentation and bottling using GAI patented bottling machines designed to eliminate oxidation. The brewery runs an internal physico-chemical and microbiological laboratory and a dedicated yeast propagation room (sala lieviti) where house yeasts are cultivated. All production is powered by 100% solar energy via 150 kW/h photovoltaic panels. The company holds the AIC Spiga Barrata certification for gluten-free beer, with each batch tested below 10ppm gluten.

The product portfolio sells under the N'artigiana brand and includes seven core SKUs (Oro lager 4.8%, Rossa lager 5.0%, Ambrata ale 5.8%, Doppio Malto strong ale 7.0%, Bianca blanche 4.5%, Senza Glutine gluten-free lager 4.8%, and Analcolica non-alcoholic <0.5%), plus seasonal limited editions (Procida 2022, Natale Belgian Strong Ale 2023, Natale 2025), the N'Aperitivo aperitivo kit sub-brand, and branded merchandise (glassware, ceramic pizza plates). Revenue is generated through direct-to-consumer e-commerce (birrificioartigianalenapoletano.it and topbevande.it), Ho.Re.Ca wholesale distribution via Top Distribuzione S.r.l., and a physical retail store-locator network across Italy. Pricing is premium-positioned at €38–€60 per bottle/case, VAT included. The company has received approximately €1.3M in cumulative Italian government grants and tax credits (2018–2022) related to Southern Italy investment, machinery, energy efficiency, brewery support, advertising, and COVID-era relief. No revenue figures, funding rounds, or M&A activity are disclosed.
