Questions and answers
Visiting the Taproom
Do I need to book in advance to visit the taproom?
No — the taproom is open for walk-ins during our opening hours. Booking is only required for brewery tours, guided tasting sessions, and private events.
Are children welcome?
Children under 18 are welcome in the taproom when accompanied by an adult. Please note this is primarily a craft beer venue — we don't serve a dedicated children's menu, though we do have soft drinks and bar snacks.
Do you serve food?
We offer a rotating selection of bar snacks and sharing boards designed to complement our beers. For private events, we can arrange full catering through our partner restaurants. We're also surrounded by some of Málaga's best restaurants in the Carretería neighbourhood.
Is there parking nearby?
We're in the historic centre, so we recommend arriving on foot, by taxi, or on public transport. The nearest car park is at Plaza de La Merced, approximately 5 minutes' walk away. Málaga's bus and metro stops are also close by.
Tours & Tastings
How do I book a brewery tour or tasting session?
Use the 'Book a Tasting' button on our website, or send us a message via WhatsApp or email. We'll confirm availability and send all the details. We recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance.
What beers will I try on a tasting session?
The tasting menu changes regularly to reflect our current rotation and seasonal specials. You'll typically try 5 beers across different styles — from our flagship ales to experimental limited releases. We'll always tell you the story behind each beer.
How many people can attend a brewery tour?
Tours work best for groups of 4–20 people. For larger groups or bespoke private tour experiences, please get in touch directly and we'll arrange something special.
Private Events
Can I hire the entire taproom for a private event?
Yes — Barrica is available for full venue buyout. We host corporate dinners, product launches, birthday parties, hen and stag events, wrap parties, and more. Get in touch for a bespoke quote.
Do you offer gift vouchers?
Yes! Barrica gift vouchers are available for tasting sessions, brewery tours, or a fixed monetary value redeemable at the taproom. Ask us via email or at the bar.
The Beer
What types of beer do you brew?
Our core range includes a West Coast IPA, a session lager, a dry Irish-style stout, and a Málaga wheat beer brewed with local citrus peel. We also brew seasonal releases throughout the year — from summer sours to winter barleywines. Ask at the bar about what's currently pouring.
Can I buy beer to take away?
Absolutely. We sell bottles and cans of our core range and current seasonal specials at the taproom bar. We can also fill 1-litre growlers so you can take fresh beer home — ask our team for details.
