Description
Arriaca was a Celtiberian settlement that preceded the city of Guadalajara. Its exact location remains a matter of debate, but undoubtedly somewhere, near our brewery, under our cereal fields, we find our origins, the ones which give name to our beer today. Arriaca creates authentic and original beers, made with patience and respect for the process. No tricks, no preservatives.

Darkest brown, almost black. Tan-brown head, rapidly disappearing. Intense aromas: smoke, walnut, leather, coffee, black chocolate, liquorice, Lea & Perrins sauce. Soft and creamy. Very dry and bitter, with sheer acidity balancing it all. Metallic and savoury notes as well. Difficult to pair with food.
