At The Swaen, we’re excited to share some fantastic news. Our loyal customer, Birrificio Quattro Venti, has struck gold once more. Their brewery Quattro Venti IPA claimed the top prize at the 2025 Beer&Food Attraction in Rimini. This achievement proves once again that combining premium ingredients with expert craftsmanship leads to outstanding results.

Triumph at Beer&Food Attraction 2025
Held annually at the Rimini Expo Centre, the Beer&Food Attraction stands as one of Europe’s most influential events for food and beverage professionals. Each year, the event draws global attention, and this edition was no exception.
The spotlight shone on the 20th Beer of the Year Award, organised by Unionbirrai, which celebrated the best of the craft beer world. Over 2,000 beers competed across 45 categories, with 81 expert judges evaluating entries from both Italy and abroad.
Despite the fierce competition, brewery Quattro Venti IPA rose to the top. The judges praised its flavour, balance, and overall quality. Moreover, this award follows their earlier gold medal at the 2024 Merano WineHunter event, further confirming their brewing excellence.
The ingredients of success
So, what gives brewery Quattro Venti IPA its edge? First, the beer is crafted using The Swaen’s high-quality malts, which provide depth and character. Additionally, it benefits from the use of LaFood’s specialised yeast strains, which add complexity and distinction. When combined with the passion and skill of brewer Matteo Di Addezio and his team, the result is a beer that truly stands out. Every step in the brewing process reflects care, creativity, and technical expertise.
