Nortada is a local brewery established in 2017 by the efforts of two local friends, but Factory BrewPub only opened in 2018. The brand's name is an homage to the cold wind that comes from the north. The advantage of being a brewery and a pub at the same time is that you can visit some parts of the factory or "participate" in the beer making process.
The pub's menu serves 7 types of delicious craft beers, lots of snacks, finger food, main dishes and desserts. A nice thing about the menu is that it has icons that indicates the vegan and vegetarian options and the "spiciness" of the foods. But anyway, if you have any doubts, don't hesitate to ask some of the helpful staff, they'll be more than pleased to help you. They're always smiling and welcoming!
My favorite beers are the India Pale Ale and the Imperial Stout, but I really love them all. If you want to buy some bottled beer, there is a store at the place as well.
Nortada is perfect for everything: friends' night outs, meetings, dates or just relaxing and grabbing a pint after a hard day of work. The wi-fi is fast and stable and, if you are a beer lover, this place is totally worth it. One ice cold beer, please!
