Microbreweries on the Way?

[PaulCat]

Are there any microbreweries that are easily accessible from the French way?

I know Spain is about wine, but I do know of one micro brewery in Logroño, but other than that I'm lost.

Anyone know?

All the large cities have them. Just be vigilant!

I know one just south of the Camino, a Trappist-style ale place south of Sahagun. But not on the camino.

We didn't visit any microbreweries, but we did drink plenty of craft beer. We found it at various bars along the way - usually the bottles were displayed on the bar, so we'd just look for beer bottles that weren't the normal offerings.

Great idea. I don't know why I hadn't thought of that. I do like to visit the breweries as well, but I'm most interested in the product they produce.

I know I know, nothing to write home about but I always get a rush when I see the first sign:

Oh yeah - Estrella Galicia is a solid choice - and a welcome sight at the end of the day

I still have a can in the fridge from my last Camino. Ready to pop it the night before I leave in 2 weeks.

BTW, I always put a can of Estella in each boot in my bag and open one when I get home and one before I leave the next year. Traditions last.

In the top of my backpack I always have an emergency rations can stashed. Pop the top and the world looks much better!

Just as you enter Santiago:

La Bodeguilla de San Lázaro Santiago

Four Lions is awesome. Really enjoyed the beer and food. Randomly started a conversation with the master Brewer and he took us on a tour of their setup in the old catacombs under the building. Heading back in 2020 and will for sure be stopping in there.

Is Four Lions where they give you a small plate of jamon with each beer? Not sure if I had an alcohol or meat hangover, but it was a tremendous evening with pilgrim friends!

As a beer lover myself, I always start with this page before going anywhere:

However, there are many many more opportunities for a local craft ale (cerveza artesenal) throughout the Camino. I always make a point of asking in places and manage to enjoy a local craft beer at over 50% of end stages.

Hey, @LTfit - was this your ulterior motive for settling there?
