Ferrara
This small brewpub is the domain of friendly Marcello, who started brewing beer when he was 19. He keeps five or so of his own brews on draught (the Belgian Strong Ale and India Pale Ale stand out) as well as three international choices on his guests taps.
It's an inviting little spot for a drink, with exposed brick, homey wood-beamed ceilings and plenty of pub grub to accompany the birra artigianale (craft beer).
