Block Bar, in Brighton, will be running an exclusive Spanish-themed Tap Takeover to kick off its Easter celebrations on Tuesday (March 27).

With a unique range of beers from Spain, the Basque Country and Catalonia making their Brighton debuts, anyone attending who buys a beer on the night will go into a draw to win a case of beer from each brewery, which will be delivered in time for Easter.

The Tap Takeover event will begin at 6pm and will feature the following craft breweries.

La Pirata — Barcelona, Spain

From Catalonia, La Pirata (meaning the Pirate) is a craft brewery which came out of a few friends home brewing. With, first, friends and family demanding the home-brewed beer, soon production had to increase and the first brewery opened in October 2015 in Súria, a small village 70km from Barcelona. Since its inception, the brewery has won the national award for the best brewery in Fira del Poblenou (Barcelona) twice, while also picking up a number of other awards, including two bronzes at the Global Craft Beer Awards.

BeerCat — Barcelona, Spain

The brewery was set up by Martina Molloy and Peter Bonner in 2012. Originally from Dublin and London respectively, they took the plunge in 2009 and swapped the mean streets of Lambeth for the vineyards of the Penedès. Their first brewery was based on a vineyard in the Penedès region. They quickly outgrew this and moved the brewery into Vilafranca del Penedès, the capital of the Penedès wine region, where the brewery is currently housed in a former bodega neighbouring those of Pinord and Torres wines.

Palax — Rioja, Spain

While the region of La Rioja in Spain has built an imperious reputation around the grape, Javier Palacios’ real passion always lay in the grain — and going against it! That’s why, in 2012, he decided to take a break from making wine and set up Cervecera Artesana — one of Rioja’s first artisan breweries. Six years later and the craft brewer is stirring up a revolution in La Rioja with a beer range that can easily stand alongside the region’s famed wines when it comes to quality, character and uniqueness. The brewery specialises in craft lagers, bottled conditioned beers and one-of-a-kind ales which are brewed with the addition of the region’s Viura and Tempranillo grape must.

Mala Gissona — San Sebastian, the Basque Country

Founded in San Sebastian in the Basque Country, the Mala Gissona brewery has put beer on the map in Europe’s food and drink Mecca. Producing eclectic, honest and creative beers that can stand alongside and complement the finest cuisine, the brewery takes its name from an old dialect created between Basque whalers and island inhabitants from around Iceland and the North Atlantic Sea.
