Spanish Word for Beer

The Spanish word "cerveza" means beer in English.

Even though Spain is without a doubt a wine culture, Spanish beer certainly pulls its own weight. When visiting Spain it really is worth trying some of their beer; after all, you can drink the well-known American and Belgian beers anywhere. As you travel from city to city, ask bartenders about regional beers, because you may be surprised at the vast quantity that there is available. However, there are a handful of well-established national Spanish beer brands to be found throughout.

When travelling through Spain and you are in search of a glass of beer (cana) then ask for one from the Spanish region or one of the following:

Cruzcampo

Damm

Mahou

San Miguel

If you were looking for a lighter but equally refreshing alternative, you could ask for a clara. A normal clara is one part Spanish beer and one part Casera (which is like tonic water with just a hint of lemon flavoring), while a clara con limon (clara with lemon) is one part beer and one part lemon soda.
