The brewery gets its name from Aldus Manutius, a 15th Century Venetian printer, responsible for the invention of inexpensive books in small formats, bound in Vellum that read like the modern paperback. Aldus brought quality literature to the masses, reaching an entirely new demographic who wouldn’t have read before. Aldus Brewing Co. aims to do the same in the ale-arena with an easy drinking, quality craft brew.
