Spanish brewer Estrella Galicia is teaming up with a line-up of the UK’s best Spanish chefs to bring a big ‘taste of Galicia’ to London.
Taking place this September and October as part of the London Restaurant Festival, the programme seeks to celebrate Galicia’s unique terroir which includes rugged landscapes and a wetter-than-average climate; making the region unique to the rest of Spain and ideal for brewing.
Tickets are selling fast for the series of events, which offers Londoners the opportunity to try Galician fare — including octopus, padron peppers and cuttlefish — paired with the full range of Estrella Galicia beers, including the brewery’s signature World Lager.
Highlights include a chef-hosted dinner with Nieves Barragán at Sabor, a five-course beer-paired dinner at Barrafina, and a tasting menu at Brindisa, hosted by head chef Leo Rivera, and Michelin-starred Julio Sotomayor, who will be flying in from Galicia specially for the occasion.
