Understanding craft beer in Mallorca
Short explanations of craft beer, beer styles and independent brewing from our brewery in Alaró.
What is craft beer?
There is no single legal definition of craft beer that applies everywhere. At FORASTERA, it means that we develop and brew our own recipes independently in our brewery in Alaró.
What is the difference between craft beer and industrial beer?
The useful differences are ownership, production scale and who controls the recipes and brewing decisions. Beer style alone does not prove whether a brewery is independent.
Why does an IPA taste different from a lager?
An IPA usually highlights hop aroma and bitterness, while a lager is generally cleaner, crisper and more restrained. The difference comes from recipe, yeast, fermentation, temperature and the role of hops in the beer.
Is there a craft beer scene in Mallorca?
Yes. Independent breweries brew beer on Mallorca, and some have their own taprooms. FORASTERA has brewed in Alaró since 2013.
Where can I drink craft beer in Mallorca?
You can drink FORASTERA craft beer at our brewery taproom in Alaró. Some FORASTERA beers are also available through selected hospitality clients and at events on Mallorca.
FORASTERA beer styles
A short introduction to our core beers and seasonal styles.
What beer styles does FORASTERA brew?
We brew styles such as Pale Ale, Pilsner, IPA, Hoppy Lager, Amber Ale, Wheat Beer and seasonal beers. Our main beer overview is available on the FORASTERA beers page.
What is Mallorca Pale Ale?
Mallorca Pale Ale is one of our signature beers: drinkable, aromatic and rooted in the idea of an island pale ale that works in the Mediterranean climate without becoming boring.
What is Sa Roqueta Pilsner?
Sa Roqueta is our Pilsner: clean, crisp and built for people who respect simplicity when it is done properly. It is not about hiding behind intensity; it is about balance and freshness.
What is Another Fucking IPA?
Another Fucking IPA is our direct answer to the endless world of IPAs: bold, hoppy and unapologetic, but still brewed to be drinkable rather than just loud.
Can I buy FORASTERA beer to take away?
Yes, depending on availability. You can usually buy beer directly at the brewery and taproom in Alaró. For larger quantities, events or kegs, please contact us in advance.
FORASTERA for events in Mallorca
Practical answers about beer tap rental, kegs and private label beer for events in Mallorca.
Can I rent a draft beer system from FORASTERA?
Yes. We rent professional tap systems with cooling for events in Mallorca. Depending on availability, the system can serve one or two FORASTERA beers. Setup depends on the location and logistics. More information is available on our beer tap rental page.
Can I order FORASTERA kegs for an event?
Yes, depending on availability, production and date. Tell us the location, date, number of guests and type of event so we can recommend the right beer and amount.
What types of events do you support?
The service is available for private parties, weddings, finca events, companies and hospitality projects. Contact us with the date, location and number of guests so we can check availability.
Can FORASTERA create a private-label beer?
Yes. We can work with rebranding of an existing FORASTERA beer or develop a dedicated recipe for hotels, restaurants, weddings, companies and brands. Minimum quantities depend on the project.
What is the difference between rebranding and a custom recipe?
Rebranding uses an existing beer and adapts the name, label and visual identity. A custom recipe requires recipe development, planning and a larger minimum production. Both options can make sense depending on the budget and purpose.
Kombucha, sourdough and fermentation
FORASTERA works with fermentation in beer, raw MEM Kombucha and sourdough bread.
Does FORASTERA also make kombucha?
Yes. We produce raw MEM Kombucha in Mallorca. It is served at the taproom depending on availability.
Is MEM Kombucha an alcohol-free alternative?
MEM Kombucha is a fermented drink and is available as an alternative to beer. Availability can vary, so ask at the taproom or contact us before visiting.
Why does a brewery make kombucha?
Beer and kombucha are both fermented drinks. They use different ingredients and cultures, but both depend on controlled fermentation.
What is the connection with sourdough bread?
Sourdough bread is also made through fermentation. That is the factual connection between the bread, beer and kombucha at FORASTERA.
