Together, we take on an exciting new project: crafting a hoppy lager using Fermentis&#8217; latest innovation, <strong>SafLager\u2122 SH-45<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Goal: Crafting a Crisp Hoppy Lager<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Founded in 2017 by brothers Alessandro and Marco Di Stefano, Birrificio Amerino combines deep local roots with a constant drive for innovation. Just six months after its launch, the brewery won several awards at Beer &#038; Food Attraction in Rimini \u2013 an early sign of its promise.<\/p>\n<p>Following those successes, Alessandro stepped in as master brewer, expanding the brewery&#8217;s reach both locally and internationally.<\/p>\n<p>When Fermentis first produced SafLager\u2122 SH-45, the timing was perfect. The Amelia team&#8217;s enthusiasm aligned seamlessly with the goal: to develop a refreshing, hop-forward lager in time for the 2025 Beer &#038; Food Attraction \u2013 returning to the very event where the brewery made its debut years earlier.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_402233935\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Birrificio-Amerino-SafLager\u02dc-SH-45-hoppy-lager-1-1024x683.avif\" class=\"attachment-large size-large not-transparent\" alt=\"Birrificio Amerino brewing with SafLager\u02dc SH-45 a hoppy lager\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Birrificio-Amerino-SafLager\u02dc-SH-45-hoppy-lager-1-1024x683.avif 1024w, https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Birrificio-Amerino-SafLager\u02dc-SH-45-hoppy-lager-1-800x533.avif 800w, https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Birrificio-Amerino-SafLager\u02dc-SH-45-hoppy-lager-1-768x512.avif 768w, https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Birrificio-Amerino-SafLager\u02dc-SH-45-hoppy-lager-1-1536x1024.avif 1536w, https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Birrificio-Amerino-SafLager\u02dc-SH-45-hoppy-lager-1-2048x1365.avif 2048w, https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Birrificio-Amerino-SafLager\u02dc-SH-45-hoppy-lager-1-600x400.avif 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" data-dominant-color=\"67544f\" style=\"--dominant-color: #67544f;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_402233935 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<h2><strong>The Style: Hoppy Lager<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Hoppy Lagers are an emerging style that combines the crispness of a traditional lager with the expressive hop character typically found in ales. They offer a light to medium body, a pale to golden hue, and hop-driven aromas that range from citrus and floral to pine and tropical fruit.<\/p>\n<p>The style is all about balance: the clean, refreshing profile of a lager meets the bold, aromatic presence of hops. The result is a beer that is easy to drink yet full of flavor \u2013 perfect for warm days or hop-lovers looking for something lighter than an IPA.<\/p>\n<p>These beers also pair well with a wide range of foods, from grilled meats and spicy dishes to seafood and salads.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Yeast: SafLager\u2122 SH-45, our Game-Changing Solution to Elevate Hop Aromas in Lager Beers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This project marked the first commercial use of <strong>SafLager\u2122 SH-45<\/strong>, and it did not disappoint. This all-new lager yeast helps brewers unlock intense hop aromas \u2013 especially thiol-derived notes like citrus and tropical fruit \u2013 without compromising the classic crispness expected from a lager.<\/p>\n<p>Its ability to enhance hop expression makes it an ideal choice for breweries eager to experiment with modern hop-forward lagers while maintaining a clean fermentation profile.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_616560254\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Birrificio-Amerino-SafLager\u02dc-SH-45-hoppy-lager-2-1024x683.avif\" class=\"attachment-large size-large not-transparent\" alt=\"Birrificio Amerino brewing with SafLager\u02dc SH-45 a hoppy lager\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Birrificio-Amerino-SafLager\u02dc-SH-45-hoppy-lager-2-1024x683.avif 1024w, https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Birrificio-Amerino-SafLager\u02dc-SH-45-hoppy-lager-2-800x533.avif 800w, https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Birrificio-Amerino-SafLager\u02dc-SH-45-hoppy-lager-2-768x512.avif 768w, https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Birrificio-Amerino-SafLager\u02dc-SH-45-hoppy-lager-2-1536x1024.avif 1536w, https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Birrificio-Amerino-SafLager\u02dc-SH-45-hoppy-lager-2-2048x1365.avif 2048w, https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Birrificio-Amerino-SafLager\u02dc-SH-45-hoppy-lager-2-600x400.avif 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" data-dominant-color=\"72757a\" style=\"--dominant-color: #72757a;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_616560254 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<h2><strong>The Result: SHH Beer, a bright, expressive aroma with crisp finish<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>From the small town of Amelia to the spotlight of Rimini, this collaboration came full circle.
