Beer Tasting in Valencia: Discover Local Craft Beer at Olhops
Looking for the best beer tasting in Valencia? Welcome to Olhops, an independent craft beer house located in the heart of Ruzafa, Valencia’s most vibrant and creative neighbourhood.
Our guided beer tasting experience is much more than simply sampling a few beers. You’ll discover the stories behind Spanish and Valencian craft breweries, learn how to identify different beer styles, and enjoy carefully selected local tapas that perfectly complement each beer.
Whether you’re visiting Valencia for a weekend, travelling as a couple, celebrating with friends, or simply looking for a unique local experience, our beer tasting is designed to introduce you to the authentic world of Spanish craft beer in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
Why choose a beer tasting in Valencia?
Valencia has become one of Spain’s most exciting food and drink destinations. While many visitors know the city for its paella and Mediterranean cuisine, fewer discover its growing craft beer scene.
Over the last decade, independent breweries have transformed the local beer culture, producing award-winning IPAs, refreshing lagers, fruity sours, rich stouts and traditional Belgian-inspired ales.
A guided beer tasting offers the perfect introduction to this world, allowing you to taste beers you probably wouldn’t discover on your own while learning the stories behind each brewery and brewing style.
Unlike large commercial beer tours, our tastings focus on quality over quantity, helping you understand why craft beer has become one of Valencia’s fastest-growing gastronomic experiences.
What Makes Olhops Different?
At Olhops, beer is our passion.
Since opening our doors, our mission has been simple: introduce people to the incredible diversity of craft beer while creating memorable experiences for locals and visitors alike.
Every tasting is led by passionate beer specialists who explain each beer in an approachable and entertaining way. You don’t need previous knowledge—whether you’re completely new to craft beer or already an enthusiast, you’ll leave having discovered new flavours and styles.
Our beer selection changes regularly, allowing returning guests to enjoy a different experience each time they visit.
Instead of focusing on famous international brands, we showcase independent Spanish and Valencian breweries, supporting local producers and helping visitors discover beers they won’t easily find elsewhere.

Discover Valencian Craft Beer
One of the highlights of our experience is introducing visitors to the growing craft beer movement in Valencia.
Depending on the season and current availability, your tasting may include beers from some of Spain’s most exciting independent breweries, ranging from crisp Mediterranean lagers to bold New England IPAs, complex barrel-aged stouts or refreshing sour beers.
Rather than serving the same beers every week, we regularly update our selection to reflect new releases and seasonal specialties, making every tasting unique.
Along the way, you’ll learn how different ingredients such as hops, malt and yeast influence aroma, flavour and body, giving you a deeper appreciation for every pint you enjoy.
