You’ve never seen the origin of beer so close up. When you have a beer, you’ll think of us and remember that hop plantation, that tractor working the land, that well-tasselled barley field just about ready to be harvested and malted, and that old hop-peeler that does its job so well.   You will remember Quionia, Oscar, the chickens, the horses, the fantastic local food and not to mention the Pepa, our sheepdog, and how we live our own project of life, because we will explain with passion our work and you will understand why each of our beers is a small work of art.

Come and visit us and you’ll see our brewery where we brew the beer, the malting house where we bring the barley to life, and the space where we handle the hops so we can use them all year round. And of course, come and taste our beers; we’ll let you drink everything we make, from the lightest and most refreshing to the most potent and complex.

The fields

We’ll show you some of our organic barley and hop fields, and tell you what good agricultural practices we carry out, what the different phases of the crop are, how to trellis the hops, what treatments we carry out, how we propagate the plants… and if you want, you can buy one of the our hops plants.

Collection

We harvest the hops between late August and early September and the barley at the beginning of July. In the case of barley the harvester which performs the harvest is on hire while in the case the hops we have our own peeler. If you want to see the collection of our ingredients and take part in it, the best thing is to come during these dates.

Dried/malted

The ingredients we grow must be processed after harvesting to make them suitable for brewing beer, In addition you will be able to see our hop dryers and our malting plant, both of them run on renewable energy (biomass and solar panels). Once the hops are dry, they are pelletised and packaged in a controlled atmosphere so that they keep better. In the case of malt, it is stored in 25 kg containers. If you wish, you can purchase any of our products.

Yeast propagation

To finish the full circle beer production at Lo Vilot we have a biological reactor for the propagation of yeast. Here we multiply the different strains of yeast that we use for each one of the varieties of beer that we produce, reusing and reproducing them in an efficient manner.

Taste

If you want you’ll be able to taste all the beers we make, we offer tastings and comprehensive pairings of 6 and 9 different types of beer. Please contact us privately for prices and booking options.
