Micro brewery.
Having been in Arillas for almost two weeks we decided to visit some of the local points of interest. It was Sunday so we thought nothing much would be open but the “Micro Brewery “ had been in my thoughts so we drove up to have a look.
As I pulled up in the car a man talking to someone in the car park noticed us arriving and started to approach us before I had the handbrake on. He introduced himself (Spiros) and started to give us a spiel that almost sounded like a double glazing salesman. But with a difference. This man was passionate about what he did. We went from not expecting to find the place open, to having a personal guided tour. We where shown areas outside the building to enforce the concept of how clean the water was that was used. Inside we had an explanation of how every part of the €500,000 process was managed and we where told about new products in the pipe line.( literally ) We where treated to samples of five different beers and offered more. ( I just had to refuse, something I don’t normally do, but I was driving ). The Passion and enthusiasm made me feel guilty that I had been buying Methos for two weeks )).
Some of the beers are so special they can not be stored in the sun. ( a bit like celluloid film for any photographic buffs). If you want an experience. Got to the Micro Brewery, enjoy. And then buy it . I will when I return next year.
