Cerveses Althaia — Restaurant in Altea

This was one of our things to do on a stag weekend in Benidorm, on arrival it was a bit out of the way/industrial but had a good feel to it ,nice seating outside to enjoy some of the delicious beers they have to offer before your tour. Our guide was a young lady , very knowledgeable on brewing technique's,and as a compliment wasn't taking any crap from us pissed up Brits🙌🏻(seriously,some of our party thought they where 15 again with a bottle of white lighting)after you are taken to the bar area , then served multiple beers with complimenting cheese/meats , new flavours unlocked 🤤.

We had a great tour & tasting at the Brewery. We were shown the shop area and awards for the beers as well as the roasted cereals used in the beers.

They all worked exceedingly well with each other and were very varied. We concluded the tour and were welcomed to stay for more beers or wine. We stayed for a few more lovely 8% beers, which made the walk home a lot...

I’ve been to Althaia a couple of times now and honestly, it’s one of those places that makes you smile the second you walk in. Proper laid-back, nothing pretentious, just people who love what they do and it shows in every glass.

The beers are spot on – fresh, full of flavour, and you can tell they actually care about what goes into them.

It’s also a cracking spot if you’re visiting Altea. Feels authentic, a bit of a hidden gem compared to the usual tourist bars. You can sit back, sip something decent, and actually feel like you’ve found somewhere special.

If you’re in town and want something more than the standard lager-in-the-sun, get yourself here. Trust me, you’ll end up planning your next visit before you’ve even finished your...
