Madrid Travel
• Tuesday, May 26, 2009 - BEER
If madrileños mostly drink wine with their meals, they drink lager-style beer for much of the rest of the time. In the majority of bars you won’t have much choice, but thankfully Madrid’s flagship beer, Mahou, goes down
well. Mahou was first produced in Madrid by a French entrepreneur in 1890 and comes as both draught and bottled. Cruzcampo is a lighter beer. Otherwise, two Catalan compa-nies, Damm and San Miguel, each produce about 15% of all Spain’s beer. Foreign beers are becoming more widely available, but you’ll have to ask for them and don’t expect too much choice other than in Irish bars. The Mexican Coronita is also widely on sale.
