Agree that there are often plenty of more interesting options for a tourist, though. And as ever it's worth remembering that craft beer bars in Spain aren't just for the benefit of British tourists any more than pizza places in Manchester are targeted at visiting Neapolitans...<br /><br />On the decor - I'm seeing that bare brick / distressed wood / filament bulbs / faux vintage type aesthetic everywhere from trendy barbershops to new Starbucks to budget hotel chains these days. It's got to the point where if I see it in a place advertising "craft beer" then I assume that it's some corporate effort where they've bought the decor (and probably the beer as well) by the yard. And apart from brewery tap rooms, where it kind of comes with the territory, it's actually far from ubiquitous in the sort of UK places that beer geeks actually care about, which are just as likely to look like the Grove in Huddersfield or the Craft Beer Co in Islington.DaveSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-5095601589630595882018-11-07T13:33:41.913+00:002018-11-07T13:33:41.913+00:00The same is true in this country, of course.
