I’m really not much of a beer drinker, other than during the summer. And really mostly since I moved to Sevilla. Though the main problem with wanting to drink beer in Sevilla is that usually the only thing on offer is a gassy unpleasant brew called CruzCampo. But the good thing about Cruzcampo is that about two years ago they started installing taps in bars that served the beer at -2º, not only perfect for slaking one’s thirst but at that temperature you really can’t taste it anymore.

Trust me, when it’s 45º like it’s been the past few days you really want something that’s both COLD and refreshing…and slightly alcoholic is nice too.

Tonight I had the evening off – the calm before the storm – before a crazy busy pre-holiday week gets going full steam. So I found myself taking a stroll and then decided to go up on top of the Mushrooms (aka Metropol Parasol) for a nice cold one. And it was delightful just sitting up there taking in the view, enjoying the breeze, and drinking ice cold beer.

What’s your favourite summer beverage?
