The Barcelona Beer Company is one of Spain's most renowned craft breweries and a true flagship of the vibrant beer culture of the Catalan metropolis. Founded by three passionate beer lovers, their motivation was simple from the start: to create honest, handcrafted beers worthy of the city of Barcelona and its people. With this ambition, the brewery quickly evolved from a small project into one of Spain's most established craft beer producers. Today, it is considered one of the country's most popular independent breweries, representing quality, creativity, and regionally inspired brewing traditions.
At the heart of Barcelona Beer Company's brewing process lies the careful selection of the finest ingredients: hand-picked malts, aromatic hops, and pure natural yeast, combined with exceptionally clear water from the Parc Natural del Montseny, form the foundation of their beers. This artisanal attention to detail is reflected in the breadth of their range. Classics like the hop-forward Double IPA Hoppy Flower and the tropically fruity Cerdos Voladores IPA have earned the brewery international acclaim. Their diverse offerings range from refreshing lagers and pale ales to more complex ales that impress with fruity hop profiles and a contemporary beer aesthetic.
But the Barcelona Beer Company is more than just a brewery – it's part of the craft beer movement and Barcelona's urban culture. In its taproom in the Eixample district, visitors can enjoy a selection of up to 16 beers on tap, including many of its own creations and regularly rotating guest beers from the national and international brewing scene. This open, communal approach underscores the brewery's philosophy: craft beer should be accessible, vibrant, and connecting, an everyday pleasure as well as an experience. This also includes its international presence: Barcelona Beer Company's beers are exported to numerous countries, and the brand is continuously expanding beyond Spain's borders. Success in international competitions has certainly contributed to this growth: the Barcelona Beer Company has received numerous awards for its fine brews and boasts a wealth of trophies.
With its eye for quality, craftsmanship and authentic beer experiences, the Barcelona Beer Company has earned a firm place in the European craft beer landscape – while remaining deeply rooted in the cultural diversity and joie de vivre of Barcelona.
