Questions & Answers about Cerchiamo un pub che abbia birra artigianale.

Why is it abbia and not ha?
Abbia is the subjunctive form of avere. We use the subjunctive here because we are looking for a pub that fits our requirement (having craft beer), but we don't know if this specific pub actually exists yet. Whenever you describe the qualities of an undefined or hypothetical thing you are looking for, Italian uses the subjunctive.
Why isn't there a word for "for" after cerchiamo?
The Italian verb cercare already means "to look for" or "to search for". You don't need to add a preposition like per; you just connect it directly to the object you want to find (cerchiamo un pub).
How does "craft beer" become birra artigianale?
In Italian, "craft" or "artisanal" is translated as the adjective artigianale. Like most descriptive adjectives in Italian, it goes directly after the noun it describes (birra).
Why is there no article before birra artigianale?
Just like in English, when you are talking about an uncountable noun in a general sense—some undefined amount of craft beer, rather than a specific bottle or brand—you can drop the article.
