Catalonia may be known for its cava but it's actually home to over 100 craft beer breweries making over 1000 different craft beers. Guifré Jordan and Cillian Shields join Lorcan Doherty to take a look at the industry, which is going from strength to strength while still keeping its sense of close-knit community. We take a tour of the Cervesa del Montseny brewery - one of Catalonia's leading producers of artisanal beer - and sample the atmosphere at Barcelona Beer Festival, back for the first time since before the pandemic. Instead of a Catalan phrase, we've got a set of words to help you order your favorite craft beer - quinto, canya, canyeta, mitjana and gerra.
