With so much vino tinto and sangria available everywhere, who would have thought that Madrilenos were so beer happy? Anyone who stepped into Naturbier might have gotten a clue. (And after a week of drinking Albarino, the sight of it made me want to weep.) This brewpub right in the centro (just steps from where I stayed, the Alicia, in Santa Ana) serves up dos tasty beers: a refreshing cloudy lager and a darker and maltier Viennese-style beer. Both are made of organic ingredients and brewed onsite so patrons can sip a beer within sniffing distance of the big copper fermenting vats. Just around the corner, a second brewpub called Magister offer the same two styles (which are called rubia or blond and tostada or toasted), as well as a caramalizada, which is a sort of stout, and a double bock, a strong Belgian-style beer. The beers are served in the most adorable mini mugs so that you can get away with ordering just a glass and still feel like a giant knocking back his mead.
