Where the concierge points people first
- La Cervesera Artesana Pub-Brewery — In Gràcia, and one of the city's first brewpubs, brewing in the same building where it pours. A neighborhood place rather than a destination, which is the point. (41.3982, 2.1609)
- Black Lab Brewhouse & Kitchen — In the Palau de Mar on the old harbor, with the brew kit behind glass. The easiest craft pint to find if you have been walking the waterfront. (41.3813, 2.1855)
- Almogàver — A Poblenou brewery with its taproom at the brewery itself, on the industrial side of the barrio. Go when you want to drink beer where it is made, not a guest list. (41.4256, 2.2045)
- Antiga Fàbrica Estrella Damm — The old Damm brewery near the Sagrada Família, now used for visits and events rather than daily brewing. The one to choose if you want the story of the beer on every Barcelona terrace. (41.4093, 2.1780)
- Garage Beer Co — One of the names that made Barcelona a craft-beer city, brewing its own hazy and hoppy beers. Check which of its taprooms is nearer to you. (41.3988, 2.2073)

A caña is small on purpose
Order a caña and you get a small glass of draught lager, deliberately small so it stays cold in the heat; a tercio is a third-liter bottle, and a jarra or pinta is the big one. Craft taprooms here usually list beers by style and strength on a board and pour smaller measures of the strong ones. Estrella Damm is brewed in Barcelona and is on almost every terrace; the craft scene grew up around Poblenou, Gràcia and the Eixample over the last fifteen years or so.
