Your visit to FORASTERA in Alaró
Practical answers for anyone planning to visit our brewery, taproom or beer tasting experience in the heart of Mallorca.
Where is FORASTERA Craft Beer Mallorca?
FORASTERA Craft Beer Mallorca is located at Av. Constitución 34, 07340 Alaró, Mallorca. The brewery and taproom are in the same place, inside a real working craft brewery in the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana.
Can I simply visit the brewery?

How much time should I plan for a visit?
For a quick beer, plan at least 30 to 45 minutes. For a relaxed taproom visit, food or a tasting, allow more time. FORASTERA is not a rushed tourist stop — it is a place to slow down, taste and stay a little.
Can I come by bike?
Yes. Alaró is a popular area for cyclists, and the brewery is a good local stop after a ride through the interior of Mallorca or towards the Tramuntana. Fresh beer, kombucha and food make it a natural finish line.
Is FORASTERA suitable for families?
Yes, families are welcome. We are a working brewery and taproom, so the atmosphere is relaxed and local, but children should always be supervised, especially around busy service times.
Do I need a reservation?
For a normal taproom visit, not always. For groups, weekends, beer tastings, events or dinner plans, it is better to contact us first by WhatsApp so we can prepare your visit properly.
Local tips around Alaró
FORASTERA is more than a brewery stop. It is part of Alaró: a village between mountains, cycling routes, hiking trails and Mallorca’s slower inland rhythm.
What can I do in Alaró before visiting FORASTERA?
Alaró is known for its village life, mountain views, local cafés, cycling routes and access to the Castell d’Alaró hike. A visit to FORASTERA fits naturally into a day exploring the inland side of Mallorca.
Is FORASTERA a good stop after hiking to Castell d’Alaró?
Yes. After hiking to Castell d’Alaró, a fresh beer, kombucha or food at the brewery is a simple, authentic way to end the day. It connects the mountain, the village and the local craft beer scene.
Is the brewery close to the Serra de Tramuntana?
Yes. Alaró sits near the Serra de Tramuntana, making FORASTERA a convenient stop for visitors exploring Mallorca beyond the beaches: hikers, cyclists, food lovers and people searching for something local.
Can I combine FORASTERA with a day trip from Palma?
Yes. Alaró is close enough for a relaxed day trip from Palma, but far enough from the most tourist-heavy areas to feel different. FORASTERA gives that day trip a clear local anchor: craft beer brewed on site.
Beer tastings and brewery experiences
Learn what makes a tasting at FORASTERA different: real beer, real brewery, no staged tourist theatre.
Does FORASTERA offer beer tastings in Mallorca?
Yes. We offer beer tastings at our brewery in Alaró with advance reservation. It is a relaxed way to discover our beers, the brewing process, the story of FORASTERA and the flavour differences between craft beer styles. More details are available on our beer tasting page.
What happens during a FORASTERA beer tasting?
You taste a selection of FORASTERA beers, learn how they are brewed and get direct context from the brewery. The point is not to make beer complicated. The point is to understand why fresh, independent beer tastes different.
Do I need beer knowledge before joining a tasting?
No. A tasting is for curious people: craft beer fans, travellers, groups, locals and anyone who wants to understand what is inside the glass. You do not need to know hops, yeast or malt before arriving.
Is a brewery tasting good for groups?
Yes. Tastings work well for friends, birthdays, small company groups, cyclists, private trips and visitors looking for a more local Mallorca experience. For groups, please book in advance.
Can I give a beer tasting as a gift?
Yes. A FORASTERA beer tasting can be a great gift for people who enjoy craft beer, food, travel or authentic Mallorca experiences away from the usual tourist programme.
The FORASTERA taproom
Fresh beer from the brewery, food, kombucha, sourdough and a local atmosphere inside an independent craft brewery.
Does FORASTERA have a taproom?
Yes. Our taproom is part of the brewery. You can drink fresh beer on tap, try seasonal releases, eat, order MEM Kombucha and experience FORASTERA where the beer is actually brewed. More details are available on our taproom page.
Can I visit only for a beer?
Absolutely. You can come for one beer, a tasting flight, kombucha, food or a longer evening with friends. The taproom is casual, local and directly connected to the brewery.
What food is served in the taproom?
Depending on the day, we serve options such as rustic pizza, sourdough sandwiches, brunch, small plates, homemade food and vegetarian choices. The offer can change because we prefer real food over industrial routine.
Are there non-alcoholic options?
Yes. MEM Kombucha is our main non-alcoholic fermentation project. It is a natural alternative for people who want something crafted, refreshing and grown from the same culture of fermentation as our beer.
Should I reserve a table?
For groups, weekends, tastings or dinner, yes. Send us a WhatsApp message so we can tell you what is possible and prepare your visit properly.
Understanding craft beer in Mallorca
Useful answers for visitors searching for real craft beer in Mallorca — and for anyone who wants to understand what makes independent brewing different.
What is craft beer?
Craft beer is beer brewed with more attention to recipe, ingredients, fermentation and flavour than standard industrial beer. At FORASTERA, craft beer means small-batch brewing, local identity, fresh beer and independence instead of mass-market uniformity.
What is the difference between craft beer and industrial beer?
Industrial beer is usually designed for consistency, scale and broad neutrality. Craft beer can be more expressive: malt character, hop aroma, yeast profile, bitterness, freshness and seasonal variation are part of the experience.
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, but it is still small compared to other European regions. That is exactly why visiting a real local brewery matters: you see the people, tanks, beers and ideas behind the island’s independent beer culture.
Where can I drink craft beer in Mallorca?
You can drink fresh FORASTERA craft beer directly at our brewery taproom in Alaró. You can also find craft beer in selected bars, restaurants and events across the island, but the brewery is the most direct way to taste it fresh.
FORASTERA beer styles
A quick orientation for our core beers and seasonal styles. Each beer has its own character, not a copy-paste label story.
What beer styles does FORASTERA brew?
We brew styles such as Pale Ale, Pilsner, IPA, 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
Fresh craft beer for fincas, weddings, private parties, hospitality and companies across Mallorca.
Can I rent a draft beer system from FORASTERA?
Yes. We offer draft beer rental, tap systems and craft beer kegs for fincas, weddings, private events, company events and hospitality in Mallorca. More information is available on our draft beer 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?
We work with private parties, weddings, finca events, local celebrations, companies, restaurants, hotels and hospitality projects. FORASTERA beer works best when people want something local, independent and better than anonymous industrial beer.
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 is built around fermentation: beer, kombucha, sourdough bread and the craft of turning simple ingredients into something alive.
Does FORASTERA also make kombucha?
Yes. We produce MEM Kombucha as part of the same fermentation culture that defines our brewery. It is crafted, refreshing and served at the taproom depending on availability.
Is MEM Kombucha an alcohol-free alternative?
MEM Kombucha is a natural alternative for guests who want something crafted and refreshing without ordering beer. Availability can vary, so ask at the taproom or contact us before visiting.
Why does a brewery make kombucha?
Because beer and kombucha share a deeper idea: fermentation. Both depend on patience, ingredients, balance and living cultures. For us, kombucha is not a side product — it belongs to the same craft world.
What is the connection with sourdough bread?
Sourdough bread is another expression of fermentation. In our taproom world, beer, kombucha and sourdough belong together: simple ingredients, time, craft and flavour.
Why FORASTERA is different
Not everything can be explained by beer styles and opening hours. Some things come from attitude, independence and the decision to brew on this island.
Why brew beer in Alaró?
Alaró gives FORASTERA a place with character: local life, mountains, people who know each other and a slower rhythm than the coast. Brewing here connects the beer to the inland side of Mallorca, not only to tourism.
What does independent brewery mean for FORASTERA?
It means we make our own decisions about beer, food, atmosphere and direction. We are not built around a corporate formula. We brew, serve and explain our beer ourselves — directly from the place where it is made.
What makes FORASTERA different from a normal bar?
FORASTERA is a working brewery with a taproom inside it. You are not just drinking a beer from a supplier. You are drinking beer in the place where it is brewed, with the people and the story behind it nearby.
Why choose FORASTERA when visiting Mallorca?
Because Mallorca is more than beaches and resorts. FORASTERA offers a local, independent and flavour-driven way to experience the island: craft beer brewed in Alaró, served where it is made.
