De Cervesia Review

Today, Wednesday, Nov 19th, 2014...this is my 3rd visit to the store and it has been a great one. There are sooooo many more artesianal (spelling?) beers available it's mig and mouth-boggling. I went in looking for my first choice...Bruton...which was the first Lucca beer I'd heard of...and still the only. Found what I wanted, thank you very much. and saw that they have 2 taps to taste Bruton...nice.
I got a small Blonde and a 750ml Stoner...have finished the stoner tonight...with a meal, yes.
So, if you want to buy, this is the place. If you want to sit and drink, then go to the other location in Lucca on Via Michele Rosi. They have several taps...only 4 seats at the 'bar' and are as friendly as the beer.
OR, go on out to the brew-pub, about 10k north of Lucca. Full restaurant and larger space to relax and drink your fav.
Please support your local brewers, especially Bruton...love em...and it's available in the USA! I'm from Delaware...and Pescia, IT

Pleasant barchik. Friendly bartender. There is beer in bottles. On all taps there was beer only from the local Bruton brewery. Between us, the brewery is the average. Only the merits of that local. A little bust, in my opinion. Convenient location. Perfectly equipped lower level.

Great place, great staff. I ve spent few hours there last week, on two different days. Had great conversation and beer. Highly recommended.

No luck here. Delayed our time in town for noon to visit them. They were delayed in opening. At 12:10 we asked when it will open and he needed another ten minutes. It was raining hard and instead of standing in the rain we decided to leave. Maybe get to work earlier next time to open on time or let customers come in out of the rain to give you business. A little TOO laid back for me. Will wait for Hammer to open at 17:00. Google hours are not accurate or very dependent so to speak.

They taught Lucchesi to drink good beer
There is nothing else to say
If you like craft beer you can't go there

There is no better place to drink beer in Lucca and its surroundings, very kind and well-trained staff

Affordable drinks, good music and nice staff. Had an amazing time!

Friendly staff and excellent selection. If I go back to Lucca I will have to stop more

Brewer with a wide selection of Italian beers, friendliness and knowledge of the sector make it unique, an essential destination for fans

Outstanding place. Great guy running it too. Shame we couldn't visit their bar

Local very nice, very friendly owner as advises and offers you samples to choose better! I would say a good beer !!! Beers very good and special.

The best place in Lucca for Italian craft beer (along with the affiliated De Cervesia pub at the end of Via Fillungo). Brothers Matteo and Michele are dedicated to Italian craft beer and have pulled out all the stops bringing Italian craft beer to Lucca. This beershop has 5 taps of Bruton beers plus a huge selection of bottles from various Italian breweries. There is room downstairs as well, and they're cool with outside food. Grab a pizza to go and head over here to get a table and beer to go with it. Plus, the music is always great, something far too rare in Lucca!

Huge assortment of craft beers, super friendly staff, the perfect pub for a great night out.

Great little beer shop selling Italian Craft Beers in bottle and also has beer on keg. Sister shop to the pub just up the street. Friendly staff who speak English and are knowledgeable about the beer. Had a really nice Bruton Brewery beer called Lilith.

Friendly and very helpful with a great range of drinks

Great beer, great price, great location and great music as well.

I had a chance to visit Lucca a little while back..
While doing the typical tourist things, I found starring googly eyed at the vintage Italian folding bikes. The roomy U frame, the welded on back rack.. they just seemed to neat, I fell in love. I had a day to myself within and around Lucca, so obsessively decided to find one to bring home.

From open bike shop, to market, to thrift store, to 'nother bike shop.. I kept coming up short. Every time I thought I found my new bike, "mine, that's how I got here"
or

to which I would just offer more money too.

Eventually I found a back alley and followed the sounds of a spray paint can, where I found hip looking individual in the back room of bike shop giving a bike frame a new coat of paint. This, had felt extra serendipitous, as my current job was actually painting bike, as well. Not only did he tell me stories of their annual fixed gear race on the walls of this ancient city. He also didn't have the bike I was looking for. Nor' did he rent me a fixie. He did however give me great conversation, help break some of the language barrier, and give me some good leads and reasons these bikes were hard to find.

The very best thing I learned that day, and from my bike painting counterpart, was there was a really cool craft beer store in town, "De Cervesia Beershop".

I had walked miles, and miles, and with no bike to show for my efforts. Exhausted, I opened the door to a little beer shop, not far from the hotel I was staying. Inside there was an awesome selection of some really good beers. The fellow working was, very friendly and helped me make my choices. Some really good Italian craft beers and others. My taste-buds finally completed their long wait for juicy hops, sour fruits, and dark malts. It really made my stay in Lucca that much better. There is something really comforting about finding those relevant, or relate-able spots in a far away land.

Having done some damage to the first stash, I went again to replenish. Once again, getting very friendly service, that made me feel welcomed and respected. We chatted about art and travel, and the gentleman (I am sorry i forget your name) told me about a comic book "get together" of sorts, where they go to the book store to read comics, and drink beer. I could live like that!!

Thanks for the tasty beverages, good vibes, and cool slaps. Hope you enjoyed the glass tops!

P.S, Oh I have two folding bikes now ;)

Scandalous 8 December closed does not exist in the outside world written Sunday opening time15 / 22 instead totally closed a shame !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Craft beers of excellent quality. A landlord who gives excellent advice and pleasantly entertains his customers with his sympathy.

Great selection of Italian craft beers. There are about 5 beers on tap, with a bigger selection of Bottles displayed along the wall. The bar tender was helpful in making takeaway recommendations for a local IPA. Only complaint is the small bottle prices were around 5- 7 which seemed high for non-imports.
