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.

Purchased at Binny’s in Chicago, IL; enjoyed at home while stressing out about work. This stuff is just OK. Appearance is a dark brown with a moderate off white head. Aroma of roasted chocolate malt, smell is quite dry, not very sweet which isn’t a bad thing. Taste goes down with roast, and chocolate, and finishes dry. Really nothing to write home about. Still happy that I tried it, and it’s not bad or anything, just average.
