Breweries in Malaga<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Fabrica<\/h3>\n

There is a documentary record from the 19th century of the existence of several breweries in Malaga, which include Antonio Luroth, Jos\u00e9 S\u00e1nchez Rico and Enrique Hesindel. However, we need to travel to the 20th century to see the creation of the most famous ones, since we all know Cerveza Victoria<\/a><\/strong> (1928), whose new facilities opened in M\u00e1laga in 2017, or Cerveza San Miguel<\/a><\/strong> (1966), which established the brand\u2019s second brewery in the city. An interesting fact is that, given its location near the airport, it had to partially bury its cellars. The facilities also underwent a complete renovation in the 1980s transforming this brewery into the most modern in Spain.<\/span><\/p>\n

How beer is produced?<\/h2>\n

\"Cerveza,<\/h3>\n

These are the magic ingredients to make this refreshing drink:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Barley malt<\/li>\n
  2. Hop<\/li>\n
  3. Yeast<\/li>\n
  4. Quality water.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Roughly, the barley malt is crushed and mixed with hot water, always respecting temperatures and stipulated time, thus the enzymes act so that the yeast has food prepared for its processing and fermentation. The mix macerates and the beer is created, the Hop is used 3 times in the production process to give that characteristic bitterness, aroma and flavor.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Types of beer<\/h2>\n

    \"Tipos<\/h3>\n

    The brewer range is wide and varied, American, Belgian, German, of low or high fermentation and of spontaneous fermentation.<\/p>\n
