Camino de Santiago “Cafe con leche” Beer!!!!!

Vacajoe · Mar 30, 2018

The craft beer movement in Northern California turns out some amazingly different beers, but this one should be of interest to everyone on the site! Even better, it was on sale...

I've had a few of these on the Camino....

The brewery is probably owned by a Camino addict.

Maybe - but I would put my money on pure commercial interests..

I wish I owned both those breweries!

The partners biked the Camino and started brewing upon their return. Sounds like they’ll be opening a taphouse in San Jose very soon.

What a great story Vacajoe - it shows how life-changing the Camino can be.
I really like the bottle - great design and I think it's wonderful that the brewers' story is shared on the bottle.
I'd love to know what it tastes like! Could you let us know?
Thanks and cheers from Oz -

The article says:
"Nuberu, named after the Galician god of storms, is fresh and bright, a hoppy pale ale."

"Nuberu" wouldn´t be a god, but a fantastic being in the Asturian mithology (not Galician).

In Galicia the name would be "Nubeiro", but there they are not so popular as in Asturias.

From the magazine puff piece "an homage to the milk stout with espresso that the Spaniards drink daily"

From the company website "Started as gypsy brewers after coming home from a 1,900 mile cycling pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago trail across Spain."

I think these guys are sampling far too much of their own wares!

Oh wow! Thanks, @Vacajoe, for posting. I'm mad keen to try this. If any beer nerds are doing the Camino from April 23- May 23, keep an eye out for a guy in a Dave's Brewery Tours t-shirt or hat. That'll be me. I'm a tour guide in Sydney with Dave's and would love to grab a beer with you and talk all things beer and El Camino.

Yep, we are anxiously awaiting the opening of their tap room. It's down the street from us

The tap room is open! We went down there yesterday for the grand opening. It went really well. The beer is excellent, the tap room is nicely done, and the crowd was really good. They opened at 2pm and we got there about 2:30 - they already had a fairly full house with more people arriving. I saw a couple Facebook posts from that evening that showed that they were still going strong. So it looks like the grand opening was an unmitigated success.

Someone asked what the beer tastes like. The Cafe Con Leche Stout is a good, solid stout style, but not overly heavy like some can be. They brew it with coffee, so you get the coffee notes in the beer. It's very well balanced. We also had the Baerista Brown - it's a brown ale, which is one of my favorite styles. Again, solid beer - good balance between hops and malts, excellent flavor. We'll definitely be back to try their other styles. They had a saison that looked really promising.

Hi all, I’m starting my Camino Frances on May 12. I’ve booked my first night in SJPDP, but I’m starting to worry I need to book more. My plan was to take it day by day and just turn up, but lots...

Hello all. Here to give a brief account of my (and many others) first day on the Camino on May 1. The trip to Roncesvalles was tough. I went Valcarlos route because napoleon was very ill advised...

Seems to be a lot of people posting about stuff they lost on the Camino recently. I managed to leave a nice new-ish polo shirt somewhere drying and didn't notice for over a week. I hope someone...

Did you meet Bjørn Krohn? Died aged 48 in an albergue, I don't know where, tuesday 21th. I didn't know this until now.

I am wondering how you disconnect, in part, from the world. I have a couple of reasons that I need to be accessible but, I don't want to be constantly connected on this journey. Ideas?
