The World´s Best Beer Comes from The Wine Country

I´ve never had it, but I´m sure it´s good (it´s from Valencia, and they are beer drinkers there, but not of this calibre- it´s strong).

It´s artesenal(?), I don´t know the word in English. Triple malt, double fermentation. It is sold in the States (but, I don´t know where, probably NY, maybe SF, Chicago?).

Zappa, how are they not marketing as such? The article said it was crowned in 2012 (well, 2013 as it corresponded to it competing in 2012).

Some shitty marketing by their distributor(s).

Too much for me to translate, but throw this in your translator (it explains what it is, and what nuances, spices, fragrances, ingredients and brewing procedures are employed):

Con una exportación del 80% a países como Estados Unidos, Japón, Singapur, Alemania, Finlandia, México, Perú o Brasil, al contrario de lo que se pudiera pensar, La Socarrada se produce a pequeña escala, con un máximo de 2.500 litros por tirada y con ingredientes naturales de primera calidad.

Destaca por sus hipnotizantes tonos ambarinos, por su falta de olor a alcohol y por su sabor dulce y un tanto especiado. Si en un primer sorbo el romero y la miel sorprenden en el paladar, en una segunda prueba son las notas de cereza, caramelo, pera y pimienta negra las que redondean su compleja personalidad y la hacen única. No extraña, por tanto, que su proceso de elaboración necesite de 35 días aproximadamente y que su periodo de vida sea de apenas un año, ya que no está pasteurizada para mantener así todos los valores nutritivos de los ingredientes.

Unbeknownst to many Europeans, and obviously yáll, historically there have been some great beers in Spain since the 90´s, and for the most part, all have been heavy on alcohol.

Many have consistently won European and international awards. Spain takes them lightly, hence they don´t get the promotion.

As this article says, this beer doesn´t have the nasal presence of alcohol, which I think very important.


ETA Spain´s been making beer since the late 1400´s, they just don´t give a shite about it, unless ´egged on´ to do so.....
