Reasons to try and take home Palmero craft beer

The story of Isla Verde Brewery

The first microbrewery in La Palma was founded in 2009 in Tijarafe, combining tradition and innovation. In 2010, it launched its first beer, Danza del Diablo, inspired by the town’s most iconic festival. A year later, it opened a bar-restaurant next to the brewery, where visitors can taste the beers just a few meters from where they are produced, paired with local dishes.

How craft beer is made

Isla Verde beer is brewed with dedication and a process that respects natural rhythms:

• Soft water from the mountains of La Palma.
• Special malts from an artisanal Belgian malt house.
• Selected yeast and aromatic hops.
• High fermentation process with bottle conditioning, replacing filtering and pasteurization.

The result, after at least six weeks of brewing, is a fresh, slightly cloudy beer, with a natural flavor and rich in nutrients.

Unique varieties and flavors

The creativity of the brewery shines through its diversity:

• Recipes with local ingredients such as Don Manuel coffee, pitahaya, passion fruit, cilantro, and orange.
• Styles ranging from light and refreshing beers to more intense and complex varieties.
• Bottles with distinctive labels inspired by landscapes, traditional festivals, and animals of the island, a tribute to Palmero identity.
