Description
The brewing company of the Montseny was born with the desire to provide a craft beer of the highest quality: our beers are handcrafted and natural.
We are a microbrewery with a productive capacity of 3.000 litres in each development. Through the system of English traditional elaboration (with maceration by the method of simple infusion), the production process is virtually manual. Because of these unique features of elaboration, handcrafted beers are produced.
In the brewing of the Montseny we bottle natural beers and unpasteurised. The carbonic gas is generated naturally by the yeast that is contained in the bottle. We can say that they are living beers that evolve over time. The alcoholic fermentation is a traditional way to food processing to lengthen their preservation allows us to not add any artificial preservative to the beer.
Our microbrewery specialises in beers of the family of the Ales or high fermentation, unlike the majority of the national productions, which are of the family of the Lager or bottom-fermented. It is recommended to drink our beers, if well fresh, less cold than the Lager.

Women’s Euro beers 15/16 - Spain 🇪🇸 Roasty, bitter, a good bit of chili flavor but zero heat. Slightly boozy but the mouthfeel is a little on the thin side. Does not drink like 11%.

Mexican Lager rubia brillante y transparente. En nariz entre el limón y la malta se aprecia cierto toquecito rústico a granero. Ligera y refrescante en boca, con un toque cítrico bien señalado, dulzor leve, amargor moderados y marcada acidez, algo astringente. Un pelín demasiado limón para mí gusto.

Bottle. Dark brown, almost black body with a small, fast disappearing beige head. Aroma is dark, roasted malt, slightly perfumed and mild alcohol. Flavor is sweet, dark, medium roasted malt with distinct Bourbon. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste. Decent but I find it a bit one-dimensional, still a tad better then the Brandy version.

Bottle. Dark brown, almost black body with a small, fast disappearing beige head. Aroma is dark, roasted malt with alcohol. Flavor is sweet, dark malt, some roast, dry fruit and quite boozy. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste. Pretty solid but too boozy, might gain from some time in the cellar.
