The Basque Country is an autonomous part of Spain that enchants with a breathtaking landscape: rugged cliffs separate rolling hills, green meadows and majestic mountains from the Atlantic Ocean and hardly any other place combines barrenness and lush abundance like Bilbao and its surroundings. In addition to species-rich flora and fauna, there is also a rich culture here. The Basques are proud of their history and continue to weave their traditions into everyday life today. One element of culture is cuisine. The cuisine is characterized by a wide selection of fish and seafood, and there are also regional cheeses and sausages, wine and beer.
Our favorite Basque beer comes from the Basqueland brewery, which bases its creations on the country's typical cuisine and wants to spread its culture into the world.
A team of four beer-loving men founded the Basqueland brewery in 2015. They were among the first to bring craft beer to the Basque Country and continue to live their pioneering role with pride today. As pioneers, brewers have the responsibility to always lead by example and, ideally, to inspire other breweries with their work. Together, Kevin Particio, Ben Rozzi, Oscar Deuss and Oscar Saenz spread the word about handcrafted specialty beer and offer their compatriots fine alternatives to wine and sparkling wine. At Basqueland, the two Oscars are responsible for brewing. The master brewers have already attracted a lot of international attention with their masterpieces throughout their careers. Basqueland has been named the best brewery in the country several times. The handmade beer is responsible for these laurels.
Every beer that leaves the brewery has been crafted with the utmost care and the finest ingredients. Their style can easily be described as modern and bold, which can already be seen in the design of the cans. Colorful prints with flowers, animals, fruits or people adorn the cans and loudly tell you about the delicacies that are hidden behind them. The range is a lively mix of contemporary delicacies and friendly collaborations. Not all, but many of the brews harmonize wonderfully with the dishes of their homeland. Beers that are tangy, light, fresh and hoppy go well with fish and other fruits of the Atlantic. Emergency Entrance for example. The juicy India Pale Ale is brewed with a whole truckload of hops and was created in collaboration with the Espiga brewery.
Hold on tight, the specialties from Basqueland will take you on a wild journey through their home!
