The Best Local Beers And Breweries In Spain

Spain is home to many breweries, and as a result

, lots of delicious local beers. These can be sampled in various places throughout the country, but Barcelona is a popular destination. With good reason, there are multiple breweries based in the city as well as lots of bars. Las Ramblas is the main strip in the city, and plenty of places to drink can be found here. People normally head here for the early evening, but then head elsewhere later on. This are to places including the Gothic Quarter, Port Vell and the Port Olimpic areas. Some beer bars in the city are 2D2DSpuma, Ale & Hop, Belchica, Caf-Bar Jardin and CatBar.

La Cervesera Artesana is one of the top places in Barcelona to sample the local brews. The owner, or brewmaster, has made beer his passion and as experts in the area they can help you out with your choice of drink and answer any questions. As well as local beer, Cerveceria Jazz brewery offers a huge selection of beers including ones from Germany, Belgium and Britain. Jazz music is a key element while tourists and local alike try (unsuccessfully) to drink the venue dry. Cerveceria dOr was opened in 1973 and a variety of quality beers, to compliment the German cuisine. The owners actually opened a few more local bars and eateries from 1981 to 1985, which are now considered classics in the suburbs. Cerveceria Moritz is a very local beer brand, specific to Catalan, and was created in 1856. It was recently relaunched into the market in 2004, and the headquarters double as a restaurant in the Raval Quarter of Barcelona.

Estrella Damm is a pilsner beer, which has been brewed in Barcelona since 1876. The brewery is a family business; its been passed through 11 generations. The recipe has remained the same since the very beginning, including malt, hops and pearl rice. The brand works with the farmers in the Ebro basin to ensure they have the right characteristics in the barley. The malt is produced in Estrellas malthouse, which is rare for a brewery. The taste is described as golden, smooth, clean and bright with tones of amber and green highlights. There are also notes of toasted cereal due to the dark-roast, giving it a long aftertaste.

In the Costa Dorada area, the weather is so hot that youll definitely need a cold beer or three to help cool down after a strenuous day at the beach. There are plenty of hotels found here, so dont worry about accommodation, just be sure to book somewhere before you go. The beach towns of Costa Dorada are somewhere you can stay, and you can get into Barcelona reasonably easily. Alternatively, if youre staying in Barcelona, the beach is relatively accessible from the city. Two of the towns (aside from Barcelona) in the Costa Dorada region that have good nightlife are Salou and Sitges. Of course where there is nightlife, there is local beer to be sampled!

If youre visiting Spain on a budget, there is an abundance of deals on hotels to be had. Especially online, so if you do your research, you wont be out of pocket. For holidaymakers wishing to stay in Barcelona, the Hotel 4 Barcelona accommodation is lovely. Found in the Sant Marti neighbourhood on a quiet street, a rich buffet breakfast is included with your room booking. Another option is the five star El Palace Hotel in the centre of Barcelona. After being completely refurbished in 2009, it now boasts 83 rooms and 42 suites. There are bars serving the local beers and a Mayan-inspired spa offering an array of treatments and a gym.
