What is la cervesa?

La cervesa is the Catalan word for beer, which is a widely consumed alcoholic beverage made from malted grains, hops, yeast, and water. Beer has a rich history dating back thousands of years, with evidence of beer being brewed as far back as ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Catalonia, located in northeastern Spain, has a strong beer culture with many local breweries producing a variety of styles such as lagers, IPAs, stouts, and ales. Popular Catalan beers include Estrella Damm, Moritz, and Voll-Damm.

Beer is often enjoyed with food, particularly in Catalonia where it is common to see people drinking beer with tapas or other small dishes. In recent years, craft beer has become increasingly popular worldwide, with Catalonia being no exception. Many small independent breweries have opened, offering unique and experimental beers for consumers to try.
