Cervezas Althaia was founded in Altea on the Costa Blanca in August 2014 by homebrewer Jorge Sánchez and oenologist Mayte Pardo, starting in a small brewhouse in the town centre. After an equity crowdfunding round in 2019/20, the brewery moved in 2021 to a new production site with a taproom on the edge of town. Althaia is said to be the ancient name of Altea, from a Greek word meaning 'I heal'. All production stays local; labels by illustrator Martutxa Casares show figures from the sea and local landmarks.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
