Where to find Belgian beer in Barcelona

In Spain you’ll find great wine, great food, great weather and great people, but perhaps one thing there isn’t all that much choice of is the beer. Don’t get me wrong, there are some wonderful selections: Estrella, Volt Damm, Cruzcampo, San Miguel. But if you want a European beer from somewhere further afield, in particular, a Belgian beer, where do you go?

The good news is that there are a variety of craft beer bars located in various parts of the city. Most will have the odd Belgian beer, plus many others from elsewhere, all with a similar influence. There are also some small breweries and shops. Here’s just a few you should check out.
