BlackLab Brewhouse & Kitchen

The BlackLab Brewery in Barcelona is an excellent new face in Spain's nascent craft beer scene. It's located in the Palau de Mar (Barceloneta area) and has the distinction of actually brewing its own and of having created a fun, tasty menu to match.

The atmosphere is bright and welcoming with a casual feel and good music coming through the speakers. The beer is brewed on premises and one of the owners (an American, as is common among Spain's craft breweries) was nice enough to show us a bit of their set-up. On tap, they generally have 3-4 varieties including a stout, an ale, and a very subtle and tasty IPA, all served cold and by the pint or half pint.
