About Garage Beer Co.

Garage Beer Co was started as a brewpub in January 2015 by Alberto Zamborlin & James Welsh, serving hop-forward ales and sours (using local ingredients) to the thirsty Barcelona public. The Garage soon blew up and in 2017 the guys had to build a wholesale brewery, complete with foudres, a barrel-ageing program and a canning line, located in the Sant Andreu neighbourhood. Considered one of the top breweries in Spain, they’ve been able to make waves in the craft beer community, collaborating on beers with many of the best breweries across the globe.
