Friday night we went out to Loriens, probably the only bar in Palma with a 100+ beer selection. Spain has several large breweries Estrella, Cruzcampo, Mahou, which isnt surprising for the country with the most bars per person on the planet. All of these beers, however, are pilsners and lacking in the flavor department (fortunately they are always served very cold and from a tap, which makes up for the somewhat malt-liquor-y taste).
So the chance to get a good beer on another hot October day was hard to pass up. I had the classic Sierra Nevada, which was my first Pale Ale in over a month! Kelly had the Red Ale from a brewery in Menorca (the second biggest island in the Balearic's).
Bonus points for noticing that the name of Kel's beer from Spain is in English and my beer from the US is in Spanish...
After enjoying our round, we went out for our 9:30 dinner of tapas. This came with what may be my favorite starter in Spain, anchovies and black olives. Anchovies here are really more small, salted fish fillets than the canned mediocrity you get at home. And the olives? Well, they are fresh Mediterranean olive, so, yeah, they are all sorts of yummy.
