Microbreweries on the Way?

Time of past OR future Camino
June (2015) & June/July (2018)
Are there any microbreweries that are easily accessible from the French way?

I know Spain is about wine, but I do know of one micro brewery in Logroño, but other than that I'm lost.

Anyone know?

We didn't visit any microbreweries, but we did drink plenty of craft beer. We found it at various bars along the way - usually the bottles were displayed on the bar, so we'd just look for beer bottles that weren't the normal offerings.

Great idea. I don't know why I hadn't thought of that. I do like to visit the breweries as well, but I'm most interested in the product they produce.

BTW, I always put a can of Estella in each boot in my bag and open one when I get home and one before I leave the next year. Traditions last.

In the top of my backpack I always have an emergency rations can stashed. Pop the top and the world looks much better!

Four Lions is awesome. Really enjoyed the beer and food. Randomly started a conversation with the master Brewer and he took us on a tour of their setup in the old catacombs under the building. Heading back in 2020 and will for sure be stopping in there.
 
Is Four Lions where they give you a small plate of jamon with each beer? Not sure if I had an alcohol or meat hangover, but it was a tremendous evening with pilgrim friends!
 
More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
As a beer lover myself, I always start with this page before going anywhere:
https://www.ratebeer.com/places/countries/183/
However, there are many many more opportunities for a local craft ale (cerveza artesenal) throughout the Camino. I always make a point of asking in places and manage to enjoy a local craft beer at over 50% of end stages.
 
Do check this micro brewery out in Villares de Orbigo.
