Beer tourism in Asturias

World‑renowned for its apple cider, Asturias is also a land of beer. The principality boasts more than twenty active beer producers, many with their own breweries and many others brewing as nomads. In this article we list those with their own facilities so you can visit them and see the brewing process first‑hand. In addition, there are some bars that offer unique beers, whether brewed on site or in collaboration with other brands.

If you don’t have much time on your trip through Asturias, one of the first breweries in the region was Caleya. The brand is well known in specialist circles for its beer Goma 2, one of the most recognized India Pale Ales on the national scene among enthusiasts. You can’t leave Asturias without trying it fresh from the tap. If you’re more into dark, strong beers, you’ll enjoy the imperial stout and barley wine from Scone.

Of course, Asturias’ fermentative richness is not limited to beer alone. It would be remiss not to mention the region’s natural ciders. Among them, we highlight La Naveta bar, which has its own exclusive production of craft ciders. In the principality there are also some mead producers, among which Caronte stands out, formerly known as Hidromiel El Barquero. There are drinks for every taste.

As you’ve seen, it’s worth planning a beer route through Asturias to discover everything its brewers have to offer. Whether through tastings or tours, they’ll be delighted to show you their work. Don’t forget to stop by the specialty shops and bars you come across, because it’s always a great opportunity to try the latest creation from a gypsy brewer.
