Luppoli means hops in Italian and as the name of this pale lager suggests it is brewed with four different hop varieties, Columbus being the most dominant (along with water, barley malt and glucose syrup).

The beer is named after Angelo Poretti who established his brewery in Valganna, producing his first beer on 26th December 1877.
