Real Ale in Nerja
June 2017
A number of people, myself included, love a nice drop of warm dark beer. The problem here in Spain is that the golden fizzy stuff sometimes does not hit the spot.
There are a number of places around Nerja that will supply the odd tin of Speckled Hen, but up until now I have been struggling.
Keep an eye on Lidl Nerja, there is also a Lidl in Torrox Costa, a 5 minute drive from Nerja.
I picked up a few bottles of the warm brown stuff there.

Draft beer, per se, is almost non-existent. They mainly focus here on bottles of craft beer, which does hit the spot, and give you a very good headache in the morning.

As I said above, bars come and go here. However there is one bar, named Iberico that does sell the craft beers, and has been here for a while. Iberico can be found opposite Bar Mojito, or the Old Peoples club (Not the same place before you ask), in Calle De La Diputacion Provincial. Just off the main Balcon Square. This place is shut on Mondays, but does great beer, there is a beer menu, and excellent Tapas. I have always found the Tapas is selected for you, so if you are allergic or vegetarian, etc, state before they serve. A great 'Breakfast' beer is La Axaria, comes in a brown labelled bottle and is brewed in Frigiliana. Watch out as some of the beer is 12%, or more, strength.

Gusto Restaurant. This little restaurant is tucked away at the bottom of Calle Pintada. It appears to cater for the full tree hugging, veggie, vegan, sector. It does sell craft beer, so it is great in my book!

Sarah and Manolo's Nerja
As I said in the introduction there are various places that will do the odd can of Speckled Hen. If you are the RIU Monica hotel side of town, there are a number of 'Brit Bars' that sell cans. In particular 'Sarah and Manolo's' bar, advertises pints of Speckled Hen at 3 Euros.

Additionally there is the beer garage in Frigiliana.

Craft Beer shop/garage in Frigilana.
La Domadora y el León, Craft Beer Store, Cervezas Artesanas de San Sebastián, 61, 29788 Frigiliana, Málaga. This is the road the Frigiliana bus drives down just before coming to the main bus stop. A 2 minute walk from the main Frigiliana town square. With your back to the police station walk straight (Against the flow of traffic), past Vertudes bar, the garage is on the left. Open Wednesday lunch, and Thursday through to Sunday lunch and evenings.
This place is 'different.' There is a large selection of craft beer on sale, mostly bottles. There is a very nice sofa to sit on if you want to drink in house. However the view from the sofa is within, and overlooks the beer fridge. Bit quirky, but well worth a visit.

Recommendation British Beer Availability
You can buy cans in Supersol in Torrox although we tend to buy ours in the big Carrefour in the Rincon Commercial centre.
They have a small area of international food and they are by far the best price too (we are Greene King fans!) so always stock up when we go there.
We have used this company in the past but have needed to share an order with friends to get the free delivery. They have by far the biggest range.
