craft beer in barcelona

I’m not a wine lover It’s acidic and hurts not only my head but also my wallet Beer on the other hand, has always been my friend I’ve spent some time during this trip to try and find interesting craft beers that hopefully I’ll be still able to find back home

So far, I’ve found two incredible places that helped me fulfill my hobby – the bars Lucky Schmuck and 33/45

Lucky Schmuck offers a great selection of really tasty IPAs on tap, and the bartenders are willing to help you out to pair different kinds of beers to really see the contrasts between them I’m really happy that i’ve got to try Elvis Juice IPA and Roadkill Romance lager, who both have a hoppy taste (with the IPA having a pleasant bitter aftertaste), great color, and a nice not too high price to accompany them Not going to lie, the interior accompanied the beers they offer perfectly it’s funky and youthful, with a free karaoke space and fun decorations We got lucky to see a live music performance too during our evening there, a blues duo from Barcelona “Lust and Found” made the beers I’ve tried taste even better

The 33/45 bar has very knowledgeable bartenders who are willing to chat about their selection, even give recommendations of other bars with better beer options, and most importantly tell you some fun facts about their beer For example, CitraMango IPA was a fresh fruity beer, that did not have that usual vomit aftertaste most mango beers in my experience have, and it’s made in Barcelona My favorite beer on this whole trip was also from this bar – Red Mullet Redcurrant Berliner Gose is a refreshing sour beer from a Spanish brewery that tastes exactly like the redcurrant berries you pick in the summer. Sour and a little sweet, it brought me right back home – and I wasn’t expecting to feel that way all the way here. This would be an amazing summer beer to have while camping near a lake or after taking a swim at the beach.

Back in Lithuania, I have a group of friends who are all craft beer lovers It started one extremely hot summer evening in Palanga, Lithuania’s most popular beach town, when we got bored of the same old lager every bar and restaurant sells, and started shaking our wallets for some more exciting tastes Now, whenever one person from our group travels somewhere, we’re all patiently waiting for reviews and tips and tricks for future travels and explorations of local craft beer

I truly would recommend trying to explore different countries not only through learning about their historical architecture and museums, but also through their night life and bar culture How else will you feel like a local? In Barcelona, the weather is warmer, the prices are lower and the variety of beer is really exciting
