Mica Cerveza Artesana
The brand
Mica is a characteristic mineral of the mountains, in our town, Fuentenebro (Burgos) in Spain. Mica is the most characteristic mineral of Fuentenebro, since it is practically the only place in the Iberian Peninsula where it can be found. Mica is a silicate of alumina, iron, calcium, magnesium, which is characterized by having flexible, elastic and very bright sheets. In addition to Mica we have other minerals such as quartz, having existed in our municipality mines, from which this mineral was extracted among others.
Mica also offers the Experiencia brand, the Rabiosa brand and the Toro brand of beers.
The location
The beer
Our process guarantee excellent product very linear and stable throughout the year, which is highly valued by our customers. Thanks to a degree of innovation, making a beer with a second fermentation results in little sediment, and offers new products' innovation: 100% Natural and Craft.
With intense and exclusive flavors, in which we incorporate only natural ingredients, such as an amazing range of various malts, hops, yeast and water. And the distinctive touch of our fresh natural barley, collected every year on our land.
We are from La Ribera del Duero, and here, in addition to winegrowers and winemakers, we grow cereals.
The Sierra de Fuentenebro has a height of up to more than 1,300 meters. At this altitude, in a high mountain climate, and surrounded by a great diversity of minerals, we grow our barley with which we make this unique beer.
With this height and these minerals, our land, also very characteristic, reddish clay, provides barley of excellent quality, which Jesus pampers and cares for throughout the year, and with which we make Mica Beer.
Due to our authenticity and passion in our origins, we successfully make our land ingredients penetrate into a product that stands out for its flavor and balance.
