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.

Bottle from Secret Santa Lowenbrau. Pours clear golden with white head. Aroma of bready malt, hay, some grapefruit and lemon zest. Slightly bitter taste with bread, citrus and hay. No faults, but a bit weak and one-dimensional.

Bottle from secret santa Lowenbrau, many thanks! Pours hazy amber with white head that leaves a bit of lacing. Very fresh aroma of citrus, lychee, slight pine and some biscuits. Moderately sweet biscuity taste with tropical fruit and a dry, piney, biscuity finish. Doesn’t live up to the wonderful aroma but still a very solid IPA.

Pours just a slightly hazy golden color, topped with a medium white head, pretty stable. Nice and fresh citrusy nose with lots of grapefruit, as well as some lime/lemon notes. Very solid bitterness with slight lemony touch to it, a bit herbal as well. Dry finish, medium light with medium aftertaste, though quite long. Fresh, bittery, proper.
