We're undergoing a massive craft beer renaissance in Italy, too. There are at least 5 or 6 breweries I know of in my area, and I still haven't had the time to check them all out.
It's quite hard to find them in stores, though, and most of the time I only find them in pubs. There is a brewery-bar like 20 metres from my faculty, but I've never gone there as it's never open for lunch and I'm too lazy to go there in the evening.
Most of the beer I drink is either German or Belgian, and white beers are my absolute favourite. Red abbey beers are also not bad at all. Franziskaner is for when I want something decent and reliable and cheap; Ciney is for whenever I feel more classy. Poretti (a new Italian brand) is for when I have to drink in company of plebs and need something cheap and easy to drink. Those are obviously not craft, but they're not shit either.

"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
