Can you say “Cruzcampo?”

Well you better learn how! It is surely the most popular beer in Andalusia (the southern Spanish state of which Seville is capital.)

Say it with me…. croose-camp-oh.

This is the drink of choice for Sevillanos. I have to admit I’ve never tried it (I’m not much of a beer drinker), but I did listen to a local explain why it’s the best beer in the world for nearly 10 minutes.

If you want to try it, go anywhere that sells alcohol. If you want to see where it’s made, head to the brewery, of course.

The Cruzcampo brewery is located at Avenida de la Cruz del Campo 3. They don’t offer tours, but you can walk around what is one of the oldest breweries in the country.  Even better, you can visit the gift shop weekdays from 10am to 1pm.  Or, if you really want to have fun, just tell the waiter at dinner, “Yo quiero una botella de Cruzcampo!”
