Birrificio Bionoc'

Some passions begin with a glass of beer. Others, through experimentation, friendship and endless curiosity, become a project capable of telling the story of an entire territory.

The story of Bionoc’ began exactly this way, with the meeting of Fabio and Nicola, known to their friends simply as Bio and Noc’. Two friends brought together by a deep passion for beer and the desire to bring it back to its most authentic dimension: something to be enjoyed every day, shared with others and appreciated for its genuine character. The brewery was founded in 2012, while production at its Mezzano di Primiero site began in 2013.

Since then, Bionoc’ has continued to grow without losing sight of its original philosophy: creating genuine beers, experimenting and, above all, building an increasingly strong connection with its territory.

Bionoc’ beers are unpasteurised, helping to preserve their aromas and distinctive character, unfiltered, to retain their body and personality, and bottle-conditioned, allowing them to continue evolving over time.

One of the brewery's most distinctive projects is its connection with the land. In 2015, the Trentino hop project began with the planting of the first hop fields in Primiero and Valsugana. From this experience came Bio Lupo, a beer made exclusively with freshly harvested hops, used without undergoing preservation processes such as drying or freezing. The result is a beer capable of capturing particularly vivid and expressive hop aromas.

It is a project that perfectly reflects the brewery's philosophy: the belief that beer, just like wine, can express a sense of terroir. Alongside water and malt, locally grown hops play an important role, thanks to collaborations with farmers who have chosen to become part of this adventure.

Then there is Bionoc’s more experimental side: Asso di Coppe. Created together with Nicola Coppe, this project makes time one of its most important ingredients. Here, sour beers are given dedicated space among barriques and oak barrels, where yeasts, bacteria and slow ageing processes create complex and surprising results. Some beers are enriched with fresh fruit, including raspberries, apricots and cherries. These are slow beers, requiring patience, care and a willingness to let time do its work.

Research and experimentation have taken Bionoc’ far beyond the borders of Primiero, earning the brewery numerous awards in national and international competitions. Among the award-winning beers are Nociva, Impombera, Maraska, Rauca and Miss Liken, reflecting a journey that combines creativity, technical expertise and a strong territorial identity.

Today, Bionoc’ is much more than a brewery. It is a story made up of friends, collaborations, farmers and people who share the same belief: great beer begins with great ingredients, but it also requires curiosity, experimentation and the pleasure of sharing what you create.

From Primiero to the glass, Bionoc’ tells a story of beer shaped by territory, research and conviviality. Because, after all, the best things are born from passion and enjoyed together.
