A visit to Beers and Travels beer shop and travel agent, Valencia

July 28, 2015 by Tom Hallett

Run by self-styled beer connoisseurs Carlos Rivera and Enrique Berlanga, Beers and Travels is exactly that – a shop that sells beers from around the world as well as tours of cities in countries famous for their beer, such as the Czech Republic, Germany and Belgium.

Photo 02-07-2015 12 48 05I’d spotted the shop on our cycle ride to L’Oceanarium the previous day. So we decided to pop in before we had lunch to take a closer look. It’s located handily between the Cathedral and the Torres de Serranos (one of the city’s 12 medieval gates) in Valencia’s old town.

Although essentially a shop rather than a bar, there are two beers available on tap and chilled bottles of beer available in the fridges by the entrance. So you can enjoy a drink while you also browse the shelves or book your next beer tour. I had one of the beers on tap – a 5% pale ale called “28” from the Caulier brewery in Belgium.

There is even a whole section dedicated to Valencia’s craft beer scene. Enrique told me that they have stocked over 5000 different beers since the shop opened in 2012.

Info: Beers and Travels is at Calle Serranos, 19 baj izq, 46003 Valencia, Spain.
