- La Cervesera del Poblenou:
- About the Space:
- Small craft brewery that is only open on Fridays. They offer brewery tours and have a very basic bar. They also have local craft beer in bottles for takeaway. Overall this is a nice place to visit if you are in the Poblenou area.
- About the Beer:
- They only have a couple beers on tap at a time, so this will always change. They offer all of their other beers in bottles. Overall their beer was fairly tasty. They had on the Xesca Blonde Ale and the Julia Scottish Ale, both of which were above average.
- About the Space:
- CocoVail Beer Hall:
- About the Space:

- Moritz:
- About the Space:
- They really spared no expense in making this place – their location is gorgeous. Worthy of stopping by just to see the place, but not the beer.
- About the Beer:
- Most of their beer is what you expect from a macro brewery – uninspired. Their Moritz Lager is just so so.
- About the Space:

- Some of the best beer I have ever tried in all of Europe. Seriously. Go here, and you won’t be disappointed! They have a wide selection of varying styles, so get a flight. The Catuai Coffee Oatmeal Stout was fantastic, as well as the Ak’Kin Double IPA.

- La Fábrica – Cervecería artesanal Cruzcampo:
- About the Space:

They also have some food, which I did not try. Now read on about their beer and why you don’t want to drink here.
- About the Beer:
- This is your typical macro-brewery trying to be ‘hip’ by offering ‘artisan’ beers. They have a decent selection of beers, but all of them were uninspired and not very good. I don’t think I can even recommend one here!
- About the Space:

- About the Space:
- Cervecería Mapamundi 2011:
- About the Space:
- This place very much felt like a hole in the wall, and overall not very clean. There were glasses and dirty dishes strewn across the bar. Not the best of feeling when the bartender grabs a random glass from the bar and you are left wondering if it was clean or not. At least you’re drinking alcohol?
- About the Beer:
- They have a decent selection of beers on tap, plus more in bottles. Most of them were Belgian style. Ask the bartender for suggestions.
