La Tape is a stalwart in Madrid's growibg craft beer scene

La Tape is a stalwart in Madrid's growing craft beer scene. They have a rotating selection of local and international beers on tap, and skew towards trendier artisanal micro-brews rather than the soggy German beers on tap at a lot of Spanish "beer joints." The food ain't bad either. Thirsty? La Tape is your place!

Craft beer how, when and wherever you want it

The streets in and around metro Bilbao are the epicentre of good beer in Madrid. As well as a bevy of international beer bars and Irish pubs, there’s craft beer bar ANIMAL, the much-loved bottle store Cervezorama (which spearheaded the city’s craft beer movement) and now La Tape, a recently-opened craft beer temple that’s part-bar, part-restaurant, and part take-away joint. Impressively, it opens everyday from 9am to the wee hours and, while normally I mistrust anything that’s trying to be all things to all people, I have a good feeling about this place.


“The concept is 360 degrees… integrated and universal.” said Iacopo, the Italian who works the taps and who’s one of the city’s more respected beer boffins. He explains that the downstairs bar is a casual spot for beer and food, while the restaurant upstairs is more about sharing a 750ml bottle of beer over meal. And if you’re on the move, the take-away counter serves sandwiches, pizzas, cakes and, of course, craft beer by bottle.

Big, bold and curiously un-Madrilenian in tone, La Tape could almost be smack-bang in gentrified Brooklyn. And with its all singing, all dancing, all hours approach, it certainly brings a unique slant to the local craft beer scene.

Iacopo keeps the seven taps on regular rotation, serving a well though-out mix of Spanish brews plus an eclectic and often hard-to-find selection of international crafts. There’s also a fair few beers by the bottle. And if you’re lost or are a craft beer virgin, Iacopo will happily provide guidance (in English if necessary). Mention must be made that one tap is a hand pump – the classic pint-pulling system that’s perfectly suited to the low-carbonation requirements of real ales. When I visited, Iacopo was giving his new toy a bit of elbow grease, pumping out a golden stream of Dead Pony Club, an American pale ale from BrewDog.

I slipped off my stool and explored further. The deli/take-away bench groaned with hunks of cheeses (they do craft cheese platters), freshly baked cakes (the baker is English-trained, a fine move given Madrid’s often uninspiring baked goods), and, of course, a glistening jamón. The upstairs restaurant – with bare-brick walls, exposed old-wood beams and a curious piece of light-bulb art – looked a stunning spot to settle in for food, beer and good conversation.

The food is a moreish mix of Spanish (salmorejo, stuffed pork cheeks, grilled octopus with romesco sauce) and international (burgers, risotto, vegetables wok-cooked in soya and oyster sauces). And they do a 3-course fixed lunch menu (including a craft beer) for €11. Plus, there’s free wifi throughout (perfect if you plan to ‘work’ and drink).

It was getting dark. But there was time for one more. So Iacopo poured me an amber ale from Pamplona craft brewery Napabier (which he says is making some of best beer in Spain right now). It was quiet in La Tape that afternoon (it was just the second day since they’d opened), but the chap sitting at the bar next to me rang a bell. Then I clicked. I’d seen him propping up the bars at Irreale and Fábrica Maravillas the night before. We chinked glasses and struck up an easy conversation (admittedly, about beer). This wasn’t the first time I’d run into a familiar face on the tiny Madrid craft beer circuit. And making new friends is just one of the charms of embracing a small, emerging scene in a big city.
