Summer is here and the thought of a nice refreshing beer springs to mind. Spain is spoilt for choice for top beers. Here is my top five. Cheers!
Mahou Cinco Estrellas
1. Not only is it my favourite, it is also the top selling beer in the country. In draught or by the bottle it is just what you want on a hot summer day.
Cruz Campo
2. It is not one of the most popular beers in Spain but I just love its cool and light taste.
Alhambra
3. This pale lager is brewed in Granada, southern Spain. Not as popular in Mallorca as other mainstream beers but still worth trying.
Estrella Damm
4. This is one of the oldest beers in Spain and one of the most popular.
San Miguel
5. The old Spanish favourite.

I thought this was about beers, but first ones are Mahou and Cruz Campo...
Well, a shocking compilation of some shoddy lagers. If you want to actually try some proper Mallorquín/Spanish beer for your next article, come down to La Velo Brewery in Santa Catalina, where we are the only place in Palma to make beers on site. We have ten beers on tap, ranging from a refreshing Helles, juicy IPA's, potent douple IPAs and malty stouts.
Clueless. Alhambra especial and the stronger Alhambra reserva destroy the rest. How you don't have Estrella Gallicia is beyond me. Cruz Campo is like Bud light and should be catagorised as lemonade not beer.
Did you just go along the supermarket shelves and name them in order Jasón? There are a plethora of micro brewery beers in Mallorca, some are quite good. I can recommend the DIPA ( Double India Pale Ale) from Beer Lovers formerly based in Alcudia but now in Campanet. Come back!
I like a cheaper Beer --Aurum. But we have to be careful imbibing alcohol in this hot weather. ONE cold beer should be enough. But, as a beer drinker, ONE is never enough!!!
