So seems I’ll land Pisa late September 3, short sleep at an airport hotel, then head for Buonconvento by train early morning Sep 4.

Friday we’ll be at some beer fest called Villago della birra.

As for that Saturday, talk is going on about trying to make one or a few brewery visits "close" to Buonconvento.

What I’ve found via ratebeer places maps, there’s a brewpub in the actual city
TNT PUB

Another brewpub around 40 km south
Birra Amiata

Other than that perhaps Florence, 100 km-ish north, might be the best bet for it?

Anyone has experience from these parts of Italy, beer wise and brewery wise primarily?

Leaving for home Sunday, so fairly short trip.
