Description
La historia de Caleya empieza en el año 2001 cuando Gonzaga, César “Pinchu” y Silver se fueron a estudiar a La Escuela de Cine de Ponferrada, allí conocieron a Enrique Cacicedo, socio de Dougall´s. Entre cerveza y cerveza cimentaron una amistad que años más tarde, sin saberlo ninguno de los cuatro les llevaría a beber su propia cerveza.

Años más tarde, en 2010, les llegó la noticia de que Kike estaba haciendo cerveza en Liérganes con Andrew, fundador de Dougall´s. Este encuentro fue especial porque Kike les animó a empezar a elaborar su propia cerveza. Se percataron de que en Asturias no había ninguna “micro” y se pusieron manos a la obra.

Apostaron por un nuevo tipo de riqueza sostenible y comprometida con el entorno, aprovechando los magníficos recursos que esta privilegiada tierra nos cede y usándolos de forma beneficiosa y consecuente

Bajo el lema de “hacer cerveza rica y no hacerse ricos con la cerveza” comenzaron a dar los primeros pasos en este proyecto ilusionante y distinto, que tras muchos avatares y vicisitudes vio la luz.

A partir de ahí se pusieron manos a la obra y al mismo tiempo que comenzaban las primeras pruebas iban prepararando los trámites burocráticos que se precisan para sacar la cerveza al mercado. Pero pocos meses antes de que la Cerveza Caleya saliese a la luz, Gonzaga; hermano, amigo, cineasta y cervecero falleció en un desgraciado accidente.

La energía, el trabajo y la alegría que Gonzaga transmitía, quedaron depositadas en Caleya y les hicieron seguir adelante con el proyecto con más fuerza y pasión que nunca.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Near clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied malts, mild grain, modest sweetness. Light cooling pine. Crisp citrus, mostly peel. Some hop spice. Light dry crisp hop spicy finish. Well at least no caramel. This is why I generally don't like West Coast jobs, brings all good brewers down to a level much like some modern political tropes I could mention.

En av de siste boksene fra min importkoffert for denne gangen, på terrassen i nydelig kveldssol: uklar brunlig skittengul med utmerket skum som varer helt ned, men skjemmet av et invasivt bunnfall. Sikkert fragmenter av banan, ananas og jordbær. Mynte og kanel i tillegg, greide de ikke putte mer oppi? Vaniljesmak i tillegg. Jeg sier ikke mer.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy orange gold beer, residual bubbly pale cream colour head. Light smooth palate, mildly dry, a good fine minerally crisp snap. Light smooth pale malts, a fairly forward creamy sweetness. Light cooling pine. Some alco pops hop fruits, a fair amount of hop spice. Ripe citrus, ripe stone fruits. Airy and semi dry finish leaves a light but persistently hop spicy finish. Tidy but, lacking a little elegance.

I have a 440 ml can bought at Be Hoppy in Madrid previously this year. The beer was bought on the recommendation of the owner of the beer shop. I lift the tab on the can and tilt into a snifter. The view is an indistinct gold-yellow body topped by a healthy amount of fully white foam. I smell citrus first and foremost and then hops and grain. The drink is much more direct than the nose and that is good by me. Grapefruit, limes, grass, some pine and a bare touch of sweetness. Decidedly bitter, it is West Coast style, wish I knew the IBUs. It's good to get an old school brew from the continent.
