Jambo-Jimbo Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Managed to try quite a few new Spanish beers in Madrid the other week. Apart from the normal draught lagers such as Mahou & Cruzcampo I also tried these 12 which were either bought at the hotel bar (2) or from local supermarkets (10). Most were bog standard lagers, but by far and away head & shoulders above everything was the La Sagra IPA which was utterly stunning, superb in fact, one of the best beers I've had in quite a while. It's brewed in Toledo a town about an hour's drive south of Madrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo314 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 As previously posted, I've been into this ale for many years, however over the past few months I'm finding the head disappears rapidly once poured, never had this problem before. Anyone else having the the same issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo-Jimbo Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) I think this is a very nice lager, fairly new on the market, it's a collaboration between Molson Coors UK & La Sagra Brewery, Toledo, Spain. Edited July 16 by Jambo-Jimbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also brewed under licence in the UK and, for that reason alone, can g.t.f. There are plenty authentic Spanish beers that you can get - in bottles, cans, and on draught - in Britain, so there's no need to be buying stuff like this*.

Most of their beers are either too hoppy or too strong, or both, for my tastes anyway. The only beer of theirs I've ever actually enjoyed was a German-style lager (I've no idea what they called it - something "quirky", no doubt) in their pub across from the Kelvingrove Museum in WeegieWorld. They should've called themselves "Emperor's New Clothes Brewing Co.", rather then Brewdog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried many of their "artisan" / craft-beer offerings, but no doubt there are some decent ones amongst those too. I like the retro image on the Victoria beers: a fat, baldy, guy mopping his brow and preparing to enjoy an ice-cold glass of beer. I've no idea why I should identify with that, but for some reason I do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember going into their pub in the Cowgate just after it opened out of curiosity and nearly hit the floor when I saw the prices, I just turned around and walked out. I would have hit the floor a second time if I did actually try some of the very high ABV beers on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Chappy was the best, the rest were good as well, but Happy Chappy is the best I've tried from them.....so far. Most were tried 2018-2019 so should still be on the go. IIRC I got them from Aldi, when Aldi were doing their Scottish Beer Festivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo-Jimbo Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 It's been many years since I've had this style of beer, it will not be years until I have another. Imperial Barley Wine (10%) - Ridgeway Brewing Co, Oxon, Oxfordshire Once you get over the initial blast of alcohol, it's quite sweet with toffee & caramel flavours, I'm liking this beer a lot. £3.49 per 330ml bottle from Beers of Europe.
