{"title":"Garage Beer Co.","description":"\u003cp\u003eGarage Beer Co. is a brewery from Barcelona, founded by the Italian Alberto Zamborlin and the Englishman James Welsh. According to Good Beer Hunting, Garage was one of the first Catalan breweries with an international reputation for pale ales and sours. At Hoptimaal you'll mainly find IPAs, along with lager and porter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--verhaal--\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo homebrewers and an old paper shop\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlberto Zamborlin and James Welsh met in 2013 at a homebrew club in Barcelona. Welsh ended up in the city through a job in the printing industry, but he comes from a family of cask ale brewers: his father spent most of his career at Ringwood Brewery in Hampshire. Zamborlin became a beer lover when he lived with an American homebrewer in Dublin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey felt Barcelona had too little locally brewed, modern beer. Estrella dominated the market, so they didn't fancy a regular brewery trying to compete with it. They chose a brewpub, where most of the beer is sold on the spot. Their first location was an old paper shop on Carrer del Consell de Cent, in a neighbourhood their mentor Steve Huxley had recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHoppy beer from Barcelona\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn its own website, Garage calls itself a modern beer brewer from Barcelona. There is a brewpub in Universitat, a bar in Poblenou and a mash bar on Casanova. The brewery itself is in Sant Andreu, where the taproom is only open during events. That is also where Garage held its monthly can releases, which in 2019 were more like a party with live music than a queue for cans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey say they push the limits of hoppy beers. For their ninth anniversary they brewed four hoppy beers, each inspired by one of their locations, and paired them with four tracks by Barcelona musicians. Those also came out on an EP, Garage Sounds, Vol I.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGarage Beer Co. at Hoptimaal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Garage we mainly stock IPAs, plus lager and pilsner and a porter.
