 Brewer/bottler #7886 | | | Name | Birra Aosta R. Vincent e Co . S.A.S |
| | | | State/Province | Valle d’Aosta |
| | | | | | Extra info | The brewery was founded in 1837 by Anton Zimmerman in the town of Aosta. He died the following year, and the brewery fell under the control of his nephew, Antonio Thedy. A couple of decades later, in 1896, Antonio Thedy’s brother, Emilio Thedy, who had married one of Giuseppe Menabrea’s granddaughters, was helping to run the Biella brewery, and it is Emilio’s descendant, Franco Thedy, who is now the MD there. Strangely, considering how many old-established Italian breweries have vanished, the Aosta brewery where Joseph/Giuseppe Menabrea started in the beer business is also still going, albeit on a different site, and is now one of four Italian brewing plants operated by Heineken, and producing Moretti, among other beer brands.
