Cristòfor from Barcelona

About me I was born in Barcelona in 1991, just one year before my city celebrated the arrival of the memorable Olympic Games. Last year, I graduated from the Universitat de Barcelona (UB), with an English Literature and Linguistics degree, during which I spent half a year doing an Erasmus exchange in Warsaw, Poland, which is where I began learning Polish.

Family Beer Barcelona

I'm from Brewcelona

""Family Beer" in Barcelona is a store that sells great beers and supplies to make your own! You can also follow their brewing courses of buy gifts!"

If you brew your own beer, or have a good friend who does, you may think this a perfect spot to call in and buy a present for yourself or your friend. Last time I passed by, I bought myself a present – a bottle of really good Belgian beer, Blanche de Namur.

 Located on a corner in Gràcia, Family Beer is a spacious store where they sell diverse products related to homebrew beer, cheese-making and everything to do with fermenting food. They've also got six large fridges with different types of beer classified by their style: Pilsen-Lager, IPA, Sour, Saison-Wheat, Bitter etc.

 The staff are very nice and friendly. They will make you feel very welcome and will be happy to explain the shop and their very popular beer-brewing and cheese-making courses. These courses called “Do the Brew!” are in Spanish, so if you understand the language it's worth giving it a try. They also do two beer tastings every month, where they introduce five types of beer and talk about it's style and place of origin.   If you want to get a beer brewing friend an unusual present but have no idea of what to get him/her, then you could get them a Family Beer gift card which will allow them to spend between 20€ and 50€ in the shop.  

After being in the same area for six years, any gracienc can see how this shop has evolved positively together with the neighbourhood.

St.Anne's Fountain

Dive Into the City's History

This fountain is brimming with history - and when I say brimming, it could very well be Barcelona's oldest tale of waterworks, dating back to 1375.
