Another Fucking IPA
More hoppy, aromatic and direct.
Sa Roqueta is our craft Pilsner from Mallorca: brewed in Alaró, in the Serra de Tramuntana, with Tramuntana water, organic malt and noble Spalter hops. Clean, dry and refreshing. No rice, no corn, no shortcuts.
The hardest beer in our brewery
Many people think an IPA is harder because it uses more hops. We think the opposite.
A Pilsner does not allow mistakes. There are no tropical fruits to hide defects, no dark malts, no tricks. Just water, malt, hops, yeast, cold, time and a lot of cleanliness.
That is why Sa Roqueta is our core beer. Not because it is the loudest, but because it shows every day whether the brewery is working well.
We brew it in Alaró, inside the Serra de Tramuntana, with Tramuntana water, organic malt from the Rhön and noble Spalter hops.
It is not an industrial lager dressed up as local origin. It is our way of saying that an easy-drinking beer can still be serious.

Precision, not make-up
A Pilsner looks simple, but it does not forgive. Fermentation, cleaning, temperature, carbonation and bitterness are all exposed.
In an IPA you can hide some things behind a mountain of hops. In a Pilsner you cannot. Sa Roqueta stands naked in the glass: clear, dry, clean and direct.
We brew it in 1300L batches in Alaró with Serra de Tramuntana water. That size lets us keep consistency, freshness and real control over every brew.

What does it taste like?
Clean, dry and refreshing. Light body, fine bitterness, crisp finish and real drinkability without feeling empty.
What makes it different?
It does not try to impress with excess. It seeks precision: good malt, noble hops, clean fermentation and balance.
Why core beer?
Because it always makes sense. Fresh, stable, direct and honest. A beer you can recommend to almost anyone without losing identity.
Try Sa Roqueta at the taproom
Sa Roqueta makes most sense fresh, close to where it is brewed: at our taproom in Alaró, directly inside the brewery.
You can also taste it in a guided tasting alongside other FORASTERA beers and understand why a good Pilsner needs more precision than it seems.

Frequently asked questions about Sa Roqueta
What type of beer is Sa Roqueta?
Sa Roqueta is a craft Pilsner brewed by FORASTERA in Alaró, Mallorca. It is clean, dry, refreshing and made to drink easily without losing character.
Why is it called Sa Roqueta?
Sa Roqueta literally means “the little rock” and is a deeply Mallorcan way to refer to Mallorca. It carries identity, belonging and affection towards the island.
That is why our Pilsner carries this name: a simple, honest beer for our little rock in the Mediterranean.
Why is a good Pilsner difficult to brew?
Because there is nowhere to hide mistakes. In a Pilsner everything is exposed: water, malt, fermentation, cleaning, temperature, carbonation and bitterness.
What is the difference between Pilsner and Lager?
Lager is not one single style, but a family of bottom-fermented beers. Pilsner belongs to that family, but has a clear identity: pale colour, dry finish, good carbonation and clean hop bitterness.
What is the difference between Pilsner and Helles?
Both are pale lagers, but a Helles is usually rounder and more malt-focused. A Pilsner is normally drier, crisper and more hop-forward.
Where does the Pilsner style come from?
Pilsner was born in the Czech city of Pilsen in 1842 and became one of the most copied styles in the world. The hard part is not copying the idea; it is doing it well.
What ingredients does Sa Roqueta use?
Sa Roqueta is brewed with Serra de Tramuntana water, organic malt from the Rhön in Germany and noble Spalter hops. We do not use rice or corn to artificially lighten the body.
Where can I try Sa Roqueta in Mallorca?
You can try it at the FORASTERA taproom in Alaró, during a guided tasting or by asking availability on WhatsApp.
