Peter, Constanza & Deny from Animus Brewing. Photo © Øhm Sweet Øhm VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL AQUÍ Do you remember where you were exactly two years ago? The answer is the same for everyone: at home. During this time of our lives, we did absolutely everything, or rather, everything we could, to keep ourselves healthy and sane. We read, studied, worked from home, laughed, cried, meditated, did video calls and various cardio workouts on YouTube, and even attempted baking sourdough bread while devouring Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin's hilarious story on Netflix. Well, the main characters in this new a ..read more

Photo © Basqueland Brewing VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL AQUÍ WHAT IS A HAZY IPA? THE ORIGINS OF THE STYLE To describe what a Hazy IPA is, the first thing we should do is pour our beer and observe it through the glass. See nothing in there? Then something’s right, because as its name suggests, it is a style that is mainly characterized - among other aspects that we will look into in this article - by its opacity and haziness. The origin of this variation of the IPA style that has been conquering the world of craft beer for years can be found in Vermont, United States, the day that the legendary local b ..read more

Photo © Cervesa Montseny VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL AQUÍ WHAT IS A LAGER BEER? Lager (or low-fermentation) beers are undoubtedly the most popular and commercialized beers in the world. Despite being frequently reviled by the consumer of craft beer, this kind of beers have been experiencing a something similar to a rebirth in the recent years within an increasingly wide circle of fans. Lagers vs Ales. Source: worth1000beers.com One could say that the main difference between lagers and ales (or high fermentation beers), is in the yeast.

VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL AQUÍ WHAT ARE HOPS? Everyone loves hops. And it doesn't surprise me. Without it, there would be no such excellent drink like beer, or at least not in the way we know and understand it. But, in addition to knowing that it is an essential ingredient in brewing, do we really understand what effects it produces in our beer? Hop anatomy. Source: staropramen.com Hops, which Latin name is Humulus lupulus, belongs to the Cannabaceae family. This perennial climbing plant grows on other plants by twisting around them and can reach between three and six meters in height. Of the four e ..read more

Photo © Karl Grandin VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL AQUÍ The protagonist of this new edition of the Craft Beer and Design series is one of the great ones. And I'm not saying this just because Karl Grandin is the co-founder of one of the most famous and respected breweries in the world, the Swedish Omnipollo, but because from my point of view, he is part of that group of "chosen" artists who, thanks to their vision, have strongly contributed to the exploration of new dimensions and generating new creative universes within the craft beer scene. I believe that we are who we are due to what we experience. Th ..read more

Photo © Øhm Sweet Øhm VERSION EN ESPAÑOL AQUÍ Our Crafted Radar's sound waves have been reactivated to detect and locate a craft beer project in the Maresme region (Barcelona). It is one of those that we like so much in C R A F T E D; I'm talking about Maresme Brewery. Some of the aspects that most attract my attention about this brewery, whose fame within the national scene has increased during the last two years, are in addition to their beers also the personality, clarity, and coherence that together it transmits. A certain sense of locality, connection with the territory, care of the proc ..read more

Photo © Øhm Sweet Øhm VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL AQUÍ Conversations like the one held a couple of weeks ago with Guillem Laporta, Beer Sommelier and Owner of Homo Sibaris, is what make the Pourtraits series make sense. The reasons that have led me to reach this conclusion are various. On the one hand, we are talking about the protagonist number 10 of the Pourtraits series, a not-so-insignificant number for a modest blog/space dedicated to beer culture such as CRAFTED. On the other hand, he was one of my teachers in the beer specialization courses from the University of Alicante, and since then, I hav ..read more

In the case of Cervesa Màger,  I want to be quite clear. For me, the surge of this brewery specialized in sour, wild and mixed fermentation beers is the most exciting thing that has happened when it comes to craft beer in recent years. I remember the first time I had the opportunity to taste one of Aleix Pu ..read more

Daniel Patrick Simmons. VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL AQUÍ Traveling stimulates our brain. And furthermore, it is scientifically proven that the simple act of thinking about packing our bags generates a series of chemicals that make us feel good, happy and motivated. The prelude to any trip is special, since it is not only about booking tickets, choosing accommodation or preparing a list of the places you want to visit, but also about imagining yourself living the experience. That visualization causes, at least in my case, a mixture of nervousness and adrenaline that is tremendously satisfying. Today, o ..read more
