Beer lovers of Barcelona rejoice as the second weekend of March brings a torrent of artesan ales produced in Catalonia, Spain, Europe and United States to the luminous city in the form of the Barcelona Beer Festival.
This beer bonanza will take place in the beautiful former convent Sant Agustí in Born, now a civic centre belonging to the city council and home to many craft markets and fairs. This will be a fantastic setting for us to quench our thirsts under the (hopefully) warm spring rays.
Barcelona Beer Festival, 9th, 10th and 11th of March 2012. Convent Sant Agustí, C/Comerç 36, Born.

I’m already making a list of the beers I want to taste.
It’s certainly going to require attending all three days to get through tasting them all.
great tip, thanks!
I’m looking forward to it and fingers crossed this brilliant weather lasts and the chill doesn’t return and spoil the fun.
Sean & Matt will be coming to attend all the way from New York… Any other Americans meeting us there???
I hope you found many of your fellow countrymen there and enjoyed the festival. Sadly, for one reason or another I couldn’t make it down but would love to hear some reports.
