The Project: LA SOCARRADA BEERS

The Spanish craft brewery with the biggest selling beers in the market.

LA SOCARRADA BEERS currently has a leading position in the Spanish craft beer market with an annual output of over 2,000,000 bottles. Its main brands are:

 

  • La Socarrada, beer brewed with rosemary and rosemary honey
  • Er Boquerón, the only beer in the world made with Mediterranean Sea water

Internationalization as a differentiating factor

One of the keys to the success of our beer company is that we have been able to sell our products to over 20 countries like the USA, China, Mexico, Panama, Peru, France, Italy, England, Germany, Denmark, Holland, Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Australia among others.

We also have another brewery outside our borders. Specifically we have a joint venture agreement in Bueno Aires (Argentina), where currently they are only brewing La Socarrada, within our strategic implementation plan in the Argentinian market. In fact we are the only Spanish craft brewer with another brewery outside our country.

Our beers have won awards in international competitions such as the International Taste & Quality Institute in Belgium, the Dublin Craft Beer Cup in Ireland, the South Beer Cup in South America and the Commonwealth cup Cup in the US. These awards have been essential in our international profile by giving quality assurance of our products.

Tasting notes

It reminds you of a Bockbier-style beer, without the smell of alcohol. Remarkable freshness. Very discreet wood touch, possibly also appears due to yeast. The profile of rosemary is very obvious and dominates with its scents of toasted bread. In the third tasting, there are notes of cherry, caramel, pear and pepper. Discreet bitterness with the necessary and correct effervescence. Persistence of the toasted malts in the sweet side. Slow and persistent return of the dryness. Very high quality beer with a specially selected malt profile. Very interesting "warm" tasting and pleasant "fresh" tasting. Balanced beer with a clear rosemary profile. Pairings: Cured iberic hams, pat�s, vegetables, pork, grilled meats and tasty fish. A dish which is in perfect harmony with the beer is a figs and foie toast, rices of all kinds, especially valencian paella with rosemary aromas.
