Discover the best beer destinations in Murcia
When we talk about beer in Murcia, Estrella Levante almost immediately comes to mind. This local icon since 1963, now part of the Damm group, offers tours of its Espinardo brewery to showcase the brewing process. It’s not a bad starting point for a journey through Murcia’s beer culture, but the region has much more to offer. This Mediterranean territory boasts a handful of craft breweries ready to let us go “behind the scenes” and curious beer bars to visit. Don’t miss the ones we list below—they have a lot to offer:
- Cervezas Yakka: craft brewery with taproom located in Polígono Peñamar.
- Another Planet Brewing: craft brewery located in Torre Pacheco.
- Canana L.A. Brewpub: craft brewery with a brewpub located in La Aljorra, Cartagena.
- Cerveza Grana: craft brewery located in Lorquí.
- Trinitaria: craft brewery located in Torre Pacheco.
- Cátedra Beer: craft brewery in Fuente Álamo.
- Cervemur: imported beer shop with kitchen and more than 100 beer taps in the city of Murcia.
- La Cueva de la Cerveza: the first beer restaurant in Murcia specializing in craft and imported beer since 1994.
- La Porchá: a brewery in Murcia specializing in craft beer.
- Mastia Bar Shop: craft beer bar and shop with its own beer brand in Cartagena.
Without a doubt, Cervezas Yakka is the veteran of the region and the one that has most successfully made a name for itself beyond its borders. You can’t leave its taproom without trying Yakkapale, the iconic American pale ale since its beginnings. If you prefer bars to breweries, don’t miss the chance to try La Ribera Beer, a nomad-brewed blond ale that aims to conquer the hospitality sector as an alternative to the typical bar lager.
Now, if variety is your thing, you can visit Cervemur. This warehouse holds the national record for taps: more than 100 draft beers served from the tap, mostly classic imported brands. As you can see, Murcia is much more than beaches and cold beer. The region compares quite well with other parts of Spain when it comes to choosing a destination for beer tourism. To visit the breweries, it’s best to check their websites in advance to confirm availability and secure a spot. The same goes for tastings. Discover the best beer in Murcia!
