Who are the protagonists?
Within the catalog to choose from we have been able to find a great diversity. For example, some iconic brands of specific neighborhoods such as the Kahs Valley Beer Company (Vallecas) or the 28030 (Moratalaz). They also come from the capital blissful (Chamartin) and Vallecas Lagoon. The latter is also Vallecana and in fact refers in its name to the main artery of the neighborhood: Albufera Avenue.
The truth is that the place where it has been celebrated has not been chosen by chance. It is an area famous for being a badass in Spain due to the numerous groups of rock and from punk that proliferated in it during the 80s. This same character is reflected in the aforementioned beers. However, it is also evident in the brands of other Madrid municipalities that have been present. An example is Chula, from Rivas-Vaciamadrid.
Other women from Madrid have been Panda (also from Rivas-Vaciamadrid), Bacterium (Móstoles) and castiza (Villanueva de la Canada). So are other references like Go (Madrid) and The One (Getafe), the Vervain (Valdemoro) and The Cibeles (Leganes). However, the event has also had Craft beer from other communities: La Sagra, Crisada Mead y Ball (Toledo). Others from outside Madrid are Cosa Nostra (Valencia), Band y Anchor (Galicia these two).

Without a doubt, this is a golden opportunity for the breweries involved. They do not have it so easy when it comes to publicizing their products, which are also not cheap. However, attendees have already verified the great flavor y quality of the beers. So, surely each person remembers even a couple of brands that have surprised him and that he would taste again.
