La Virgen Madrid Lager

Spain isn’t best known for its beer heritage, wine being their most famous export (along with Flamenco and Paella of course!) Surprisingly, Spain has quite a long history with beer; many of the most well-known brands began producing lager from the late 1800s onwards. Cervezas La Virgen are relatively new to the game and part of the growing trend for craft beer in Spain. This is La Virgen’s attempt at a classic German Helles and they absolutely nail it. Crisp, refreshing, mildly sweet, eminently quaffable and exactly what you want on a roasting hot summer’s eve in Madrid. Their Helles won a gold medal at the World Beer Awards last year. Toma! Bebelo por que es lo mejor!
