The Peroni Brewery (Birra Peroni) was founded in 1846 in Lombardia, Italy. Giovanni Peroni moved the company to Rome in 1864, and has since grown into one of Italy's most prominent breweries. Indeed, as someone in another country to name an Italian beer and very likely the first name they will think of is "Peroni".

Although there are several brands of beer produced under the Peroni label, there are two that are the most popular and well-known worldwide. Nastro Azzurro ("Blue Ribbon") is their premier lager brand, and it is a 5.1% alcohol by volume pale lager. Peroni is the company's original brand, a 4.7% alcohol by volume pale lager made with barley malt, maize, hop pellets and hop extract.

We have a lot of these glasses and they are just great - and not only for serving and enjoying beer! They are fun and comfortable glasses for iced sodas and water, even fun cocktails with their sleek design and Peroni artwork. Why not get some for yourself now too?

There are all kinds of collectibles you can find - great items for entertaining or if you have a home bar you want to give an Italian touch.

If you love Peroni, you have to have an official logo bottle opener! There are several different styles available. The brushed metal look of the first is sleek and stylish, accented with the classic Peroni logo. The blue opener in the center is soft and easy to grip. And the last, on a keychain, is great to take with you wherever you go: on a picnic, to the beach, or tailgating on a Sunday afternoon before the big game.

A few nice runner mats are almost a necessity for a home bar. Easy to clean, they will help keep your actual bar dry and catch run-off from just-washed glasses. I actually use several of these behind my kitchen sink as well to catch any excess moisture or spray. This stylish one with the Peroni logo is sure to be an eye-catcher.

Coasters are another "must have" for anyone, whether you have a home bar or just want to enjoy your beverages throughout the house without damaging or staining furniture. These round coasters are made of non-slip rubber, so unlike typical cardboard coasters you can use them over and over again without worry.

Getting ready for a party or other special event? Then you don't want to forget having plenty of napkins on hand, including cocktail napkins to keep your furniture stain-free.  Here's a great pair of accessories for you: a Peroni napkin holder and of course, matching napkins. Great for an Italian cocktail party, or maybe a cicchetti tasting event?

Wine glass charms are super popular these days when entertaining...so why not get some beer charms as well? These will help keep guests' bottles easily identifiable. They slip down over the bottle neck and have a rubber lining inside. You'll also find a bottle opener inside the lid of their container box, perfect for when you're on the go.

Ice buckets are another necessity for home bars and entertaining. And they're useful in numerous ways, from keeping beer and wine bottles cold to providing extra ice for cocktails and sodas. We have several of these Peroni buckets in our home for use when we have parties or other large gatherings. 

Smoking may not be as ubiquitous as it once was, but ashtrays are still great collectibles - and also great for a home bar. You could also use this ashtray as a paperweight in your office.

Here's something really fun and unique for the home bar: a wall clock that looks like a Peroni bottle! Better still, the clock is actually made from recycled beer bottles. Easy to hang, good for the environment, and sure to be a conversation piece or a terrific gift for a beer lover.

Bring a taste of Italy to your backyard. This patio umbrella will keep you cool and in the shade so you can enjoy your beer in comfort. It's large in size and designed to fit standard patio tables and base stands. It's also a style you won't find in regular stores, only online.

Nothing's cooler for a home bar than some lighted/display signs to show off the brands you always keep in stock! These are really collectible and special for an enthusiast to have.  Check eBay for currently running auctions like those shown above.
