By the time you have become a local in Barcelona, you will probably be meeting at Plaza del Sol. It is one of many squares that the great neighborhood of Gràcia offers, but this one is known for its chill-out vibes, with many young people from all over lying down and just chilling - most of them with some drink in hand and gathered in groups.
So, where to get the beers? In Sol de Gràcia! It's a corner store in the square that you may miss if you pass by in a hurry because its entrance looks a lot like a mini-market (it also is that), but in essence it is an amazing store with literally thousands of craft beers from all over the world. If you are an IPA lover, prepare to have an orgasm as you enter the spot.
The place is family-owned by Poles and those guys are always working non-stop in order to get the inventory filled. Finding great deals in beers close to their expiration date is not rare, either (they don't really expire, but let's leave it at that), such as Brew Dogs for less than a euro and so on.
Enough said! Let's grab another can!
