The passion that many people feel for this drink has made places dedicated exclusively to it be more and more, with imported beers and unique craft creations, transforming the activity of drinking a beer in a whole gastronomic experience.

Craft beer, for being made manually and with great care, has its own identity and has a quality superior than the industrial ones’, maintaining the flavour, aroma and natural nutritional properties (yeasts and proteins). Each beer is unique, since the master brewer can modify his formula several times to achieve the optimum taste and smell for his customers. There are so many variations within this gastronomic art that we can rekindle many times the experience of tasting a good beer for the first time.

Thanks to the specialized stores, you can travel around the world through the best international beers, mainly European. Artisanal, bottled or tap drinks, which fill an extensive high-quality list. In Barcelona you can find spaces for all tastes: having a beer with friends or enjoying a calm moment with your partner, having a beer in the afternoon or enjoying it while having dinner, etc. You can find from large and modern bars, such as Beer’linale, a large and modern open space that has 30 beer taps and more than 180 references of imported beers, and where you can taste the recommendations from a Beer-Sommelier at the same time that you enjoy an exquisite meal; to more intimate and rustic places like L’Espumossa, a small cosy place, decorated with wood, reminiscent of the former taverns. A quiet and multicultural space where you will find a large selection of bottled beers, both national and international, that you can even take home buying at the store of the same place.

Catalonia, with Barcelona as the main scene, is a pioneer in craft beers and brings together a large number of micro-factories. Apart from being a high-quality product, it meets the characteristics that society increasingly seeks: totally natural and local products, without additives or preservatives, made simply with water, yeast, malts and hops; unlike the industrial one, which is pasteurized and contains preservatives. In addition, craft beer has as a distinctive trait the creativity and the large number of variants that are made, a very attractive point for those sybarites who like to taste a good drink. For all that, these creations are considered a gourmet product, but within everyone’s reach.
