The Sardinians are a proud people, as anyone who has ever been to the island or spoken to one of the passionate residents knows. Tradition and the eventful history are honored like nowhere else. No wonder, hardly any other place in Europe was fought over as much and passed back and forth as often as Sardinia. The combative Sardinians stoically endured famine, uprisings and changing rulers and never lost their love for their homeland. Ichnusa packs all these emotions into their beer - a promising mix!
Sardinian soul
The island of Sardinia in the Mediterranean is a wondrous place: steep mountains with rugged cliffs, tropical-looking sandy beaches with crystal-clear, deep blue water and wild, untamed nature coexist with Roman-like cities and jet-set destinations for the rich and beautiful. Rich and poor, natural and artificial, wild and tamed - hardly any other place combines so many contrasts and yet is so beautiful. Ichnusa is a Sardinian brewery under the management of Heineken Italia, which has made it its mission to represent the Sardinian soul, the impetuous character of the island and its inhabitants with a beer.
Homeland care
Ichnusa Anima Sarda is a bitter, drinkable lager that has a rebel heart and traditional roots. In 1912, the wine magnate Amsicora Capra decided to buy the Ichnusa brewery in Cagliari and put it back into operation. With a lot of passion and patriotism, Amsicora Sardinia gave the beer back and built up an entire concept with the Ichnusa label to protect and celebrate Sardinia. To this day, Ichnusa organizes concerts, festivals and events to collect garbage and clean the island. And the deposit system, which has not been established in the rest of Italy, is also held in high esteem here. The bottles from which Ichnusa friends drink their beer are used and reused for 20 years.
This is true Sardinian love and passion that you can taste!
