A Hoppy Lager for real summer
Summer Beer came from a pretty simple idea: it gets hot here and a heavy beer is often the last thing you want. We wanted a light, dry lager that is easy to drink but shows more hops than a classic lager.
We start at 10 °P, mash at 62 °C and ferment with W-34/70 at 10.5 °C. Then we run 7 days of primary fermentation, 7 days of secondary fermentation and a minimum of 10 days of maturation.
For hops we use Spalter, Cascade and Willamette. Spalter keeps the more classic lager side; Cascade and Willamette lift the aroma without turning it into an IPA. That is the point: dry, clear, 30 IBU and enough hop character not to get boring.

Light does not mean simple
Brewing a light beer with character is not automatically easy. There is not much room to hide in a Craft Lager: body, fermentation, finish and clarity all need to be right.
With Summer Beer we are not looking for body or sweetness. The 62 °C mash and cold fermentation with W-34/70 go exactly in that direction. Then we give it time: 7 days primary, 7 days secondary and at least 10 days maturation.
It is made for having more than one and for real life in Mallorca: from the taproom to a wedding, terrace, finca or event with draft beer.

Frequently asked questions about Summer Beer
What is a Hoppy Lager?
Una Hoppy Lager combina la fermentación limpia de una lager con una presencia aromática de lúpulo más marcada que en una lager clásica. No busca ser una IPA: mantiene cuerpo ligero, final seco y mucha frescura, pero añade un punto lupulado que la hace más expresiva.
What is the difference between a Hoppy Lager and a Pilsner?
Una Pilsner suele ser más clásica, seca y precisa, con un amargor noble muy definido. Una Hoppy Lager juega un poco más con el aroma del lúpulo, manteniendo la limpieza de una lager pero con un carácter más moderno y veraniego.
Why is Summer Beer a summer beer and not an industrial lager?
Because it is meant to drink easily, but not taste like nothing. Summer Beer is light and refreshing, but properly fermented with W-34/70 and brewed with Spalter, Cascade and Willamette.
How do we ferment Summer Beer?
We mash at 62 °C and ferment with W-34/70 at 10.5 °C. Then we run 7 days of primary fermentation, 7 days of secondary fermentation and a minimum of 10 days of maturation.
Which hops do we use?
Spalter, Cascade and Willamette. Spalter keeps the classic lager side; Cascade and Willamette add aroma without turning Summer Beer into an IPA.
Why can a light beer still be difficult to brew?
There are fewer places to hide faults in a light beer. If fermentation is not clean, the finish stays sweet or the hops go too far, you notice it quickly.
Por eso una buena lager artesanal exige precisión, paciencia y mucho control. Parece fácil porque se bebe fácil. En fábrica no lo es tanto.
Why does it work so well for events in Mallorca?
Because it is fresh, dry and easy to drink without being flat. At weddings, terraces, private parties or events with draft beer, you need a beer that works for a lot of people and with food.
Summer Beer is made for exactly that: summer, people and glasses that empty without much drama.
