Alegría del Barrio

Tap to rate

An amber American Pale Ale of medium body with tropical fruit and citrus aromas, built on Cascade and Citra hops. The name tells its story: it was conceived for and by the people of the neighbourhood. It comes from the Massanassa microbrewery, which opened in 2015 together with its own TapRoom, and matures in isobaric tanks.
