FISH COOLER

IT IS TOLD THAT...

THE LEGEND OF COLAPESCE IS ONE OF THE MOST FASCINATING STORIES OF SICILY. IT TELLS OF A SKILLED AND BRAVE YOUNG MAN, SON OF A FISHERMAN FROM MESSINA, WHO HAD THE ABILITY TO MOVE WITH DEXTERITY IN THE WATER.

It is said that Colapesce loved to dive to discover the wonders of the underwater world, often bringing to light treasures and precious objects. Colapesce's fame reached the king of Sicily, who wanted to test his ability. The king threw a cup into the water, then his crown and finally a ring in a deep place, but Colapesce managed to grab each object. During the last dive, the young man reached such depth that he could see the three columns that support Sicily: one at Capo Passero, one at Capo Lilibeo and one at Capo Peloro, right under Messina. This last column, however, was marked by time and full of cracks. Legend has it that Colapesce, seeing the precarious situation of the column, decided to stay underwater to support it with his own body and prevent Sicily from sinking. Even today, earthquakes in the Messina area can be traced back to the young man who, always underwater, occasionally changes shoulders to hold the column. In honor of Colapesce and his extraordinary ability to dive to the depths of the sea, we created a beer named after him. Colapesce is a craft beer produced with selected ingredients, which recalls the freshness and beauty of our Sicilian sea.
