These are reeds!
The requirement level that there is in ** Madrid ** regarding beer has already risen to stratospheric levels. And it is that despite the rise of craft beers and the interest in learning to taste beer, the usual bars are still just as crowded.
The reason? Why do they keep doing the beer well shot An art. Although there are many, today we recommend some temples of well-drafted beer. What is your favorite?
Because the "foam" matters
THE DOLORES: THE CASTIZO _(Jesus Square, 4) _
Make a hole in La Dolores a saturday at aperitif time It's quite a heroic feat. And it is that this traditional bar , which was inaugurated as eating house in 1908 , is famous for being one of the taverns of Madrid Where is the best beer?
Its eternal cap are the olives with anchovies , although you can always choose some ham, salmon or cheese canapés To accompany.
It's noisy as hell and the waiters don't speak, they shout , but perhaps that is part of the charm of this century-old bar, for whose wood and marble bar All kinds of personalities have passed.
** THE FACTORY: THE ONE WITH THE DOUBLES** _(Calle Jesús, 2) _
Since you have made a stop at Dolores, you have option B a couple of steps further on if what you are looking for is a well-shot rod. We go into Factory , a tavern that makes the art of serving draft beer immortal for double lovers.
And yes, we say this because even if you ask for a beer they will serve you a double, with a small plate of cheese, chorizo or some banderillas. It also has a good collection of canned portions on the menu, perfect for pairing a beer championship shot.
At La Fábrica they know what a good beer is
BAR LORETO: THE ONE WITH THE XXL COVER _(Hartzenbusch Street, 7) _
From time to time it is necessary to bring to light that bar of a lifetime that few people know and for you it is a relief. This little inn of all life, run by a Galician and a Portuguese , is located in the Olympus of the cane well pulled and accompanied by a good XXL tapa.
Either cane or double , sooner or later the meatballs cover will arrive, moment in which one sees the sky full of angels. And the cod a bras they do it like the typical Portuguese grandmother does . Of course, the bar is very small, all the more reason to go early or keep it a secret.
EL CANGREJERO: THE HISTORICAL _(Amaniel street, 25) _
And it is historical because Máximo Peinado's house was founded in 1935 next to the old Mahou factory. Getting a smile from Don Ángel (currently in charge of the inn) is more complicated than operating on an ant with boxing gloves, but if there is something that is undoubtedly done well there, it is throwing a beer.
The accompaniment, a few pork rinds or a few olives at most , that Don Ángel is not very splendid, but the beer there has its fair foam , its perfect temperature, two times.
To the question of what do you have to have the perfect cane , don Ángel shakes us with a forceful answer: "that you pay it" . You have to love him...
One of the most legendary bars in Malasaña
** BODEGA DE LA ARDOSA: LA INTERNACIONAL** _(Colón, 13) _

La Ardosa is well known for its super well shot pints of international beers like Guinness, Pilsner Urquell or Budweiser, with their olives and surrounded by the best of Malasaña.
In addition, they themselves explain to you how to throw a perfect rod. Of course, if your tortillas come out of the kitchen, you can't think of anything else.
THE DOUBLE: THE SAFE BET _(José Abascal street, 16) _
There are colors for tastes, but what many will agree with us is that the beers at El Doble, in ponzano, They are possibly the best runs in the entire city.
It's not the prettiest (the photos on the walls can be scary), the treatment isn't the most attentive, and the tapas aren't enough to fill you up, but order a beer and tell us later.
This authentic bar has earned its own merits to be **in the Olympus of well-drafted beers in Madrid **. The anchovy canapes They can be a good option to accompany, advice from a friend.
Madrid, the city of the "double"
THE ANCHOVY: THE ONE WITH THE SHELLFISH _(Valencia street, 14) _
the neighborhood of footbath it also has its temples of well-drafted beer, and, without a doubt, we can find one of them in The Boqueron . Sometimes it's surprising how can they throw so many beers in such a short time and that all of them are perfect.
They usually accompany the first with something as Madrid-like as a anchovy in vinegar , showing off his own name.
Also, its grilled prawns, its shrimps and its oysters are other reasons why one always goes to this essential. And yes, it also gets packed on the weekends.

Few introductions our friend needs Antonio Cosmen, who will not stop succeeding from the Vallecas neighborhood. And the fact is that Cruz Blanca is another of the usual bars where the art of the well-drawn cane Is the order of the day.
In addition, two of the things that make the Cruz Blanca de Vallecas cane perfect are two of its caps. On the one hand, French fries freshly made in their churrería and, on the other hand, the paella of Madrid.
And if we add to that the affection with which Cosmen attends, the excursion to Vallecas It is a must every Sunday.

** BAR PONZANO: THE ONE OF LOS TORREZNOS** _(calle Ponzano, 12) _
The lovers of Ponzaning You will agree with me: if there is a well-spent beer in the neighborhood, it is at the Ponzano Restaurant Bar. It's not that anymore temperature and bubble are nearly measured , is that he wins us over with every ** torreznos tapa ** that he puts on us with the beer.
Because Ponzano torreznos give almost as much to talk about as its tripe and its tortilla. On weekends it is the preferred destination for those who scan the area and seek the safety of a well-drafted beer . What else for?
** WONDERS FACTORY: EL ARTESANO** _(calle Valverde, 29) _
At this point in the film it goes without saying that the Wonder Factory is a benchmark brewery in the capital. In addition to a brewery they have your own factory-laboratory where they produce their corsage craft beers.
They show you the brewing process and teach you how to throw a beer as it should be, with its foam point, its bubble and its just temperature.
They have several taps to taste their wonders and the most normal thing is to leave having tried them all. Definitely, it was necessary to include the Maravillas Factory in this route of brewers. Quite a reference.
