Be Hoppy<\/h2>\n

Perhaps the most highly curated selection of craft beer in Spain, <\/span>Be Hoppy<\/span><\/a> is a favorite among local craft beer aficionados. Madrid born owner and operator, Pepin, keeps the taps and fridges well stocked with only the best. Enjoy a pint on site from the constantly rotating taps, or from the extensive list of bottles and cans, which are also available to go. <\/span><\/p>\n

La Buena Cerveza<\/h2>\n

The always sweet and welcoming owners and brothers, Manu and Nacho, started their wonderful little shop in 2013, making them one of the original craft beer destinations in Madrid. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nestled just between the lively neighborhoods of <\/span>Malasa\u00f1a<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Chueca<\/span><\/a>, this craft beer haven offers everything from tastings to beer bingo. The selection at <\/span>La Buena Cerveza<\/span><\/a> reflects the preferences of the brothers: fresh & super hazy IPAs, classic beer lovers will be delighted by their wide selection of porters, lagers, stouts, and sour ales.<\/span><\/p>\n

A former karaoke bar converted into one of the most dynamic craft beer selections in town. <\/span>La Maripepa<\/span><\/a> offers a range of craft beers on draft – including a cask engine, which is rare in Spain. <\/span><\/p>\n

The exterior and interior blend into the iconic tapas bars of the Las Letras neighborhood. This spot boasts the best blend of classic soul with modern brews.

Beerhouse | Craftbeer Bar<\/h2>\n

Most guests will hardly reach the southernmost entry point to the <\/span>Chamber\u00ed<\/span><\/a> neighborhood before turning back around towards the familiarity of the <\/span>Centro & Sol neighborhoods<\/span>. That means that most will miss the opportunity to visit a local favorite.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beerhouse<\/span><\/a> has been a reference for craft beer in Spain since 2015. With 12 taps to choose from, and an extensive list of bottles and cans, this no-frills beer bar gives definite dive bar vibes. The staff are friendly and eager to serve up local and global craft beer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brew Wild Pizza Bar<\/h2>\n

A collaboration that dreams are made of. <\/span>Brew Wild<\/span><\/a> is a pizza joint on one hand and de facto tasting room for La Quince Brewery on the other. The tap list features a mix of super fresh La Quince beers, as well as several options from around Spain and Europe. <\/span><\/p>\n

The pizza alone is also worth the visit: proper ingredients, 24 hour fermentation times, and quality toppings. Brew Wild is located on one of the coolest streets in the world for grabbing a drink – and just down the road from <\/span>Peninsula Centro<\/span><\/a>. This is the perfect stop for your next tapas crawl<\/a> in the Las Letras neighborhood.<\/span><\/p>\n

La Osita | Craft Beer | Oso Beer Co<\/h2>\n

The tasting room for Oso Brew Co, this cozy and uber welcoming bar is a local favorite.

With fresh lagers, IPAs, Porters, and fruited sours, they offer something for beer lovers of all stripes.<\/span><\/p>\n
