Visit to the craft brewery "La Minera", tasting and sampling of local products



“La Minera” nace de la pasión por nuestra tierra y en especial por el pasado industrial del Ripollès. Conceptos entrelazados para dibujar un pasado en blanco y negro, de hierro y vapor, del que somos herederos. El pasado minero del Ripollès se remonta hasta la época romana y gira entorno de las minas de Rocabruna (Camprodon), de Ventolà y Queralbs (Ribes de Freser), de las rocas bituminosas de Perella (Sant Joan de les Abadesses) y principalmente entorno de la Cuenca carbonífera de Ogassa.Es precisamente en Ogassa dónde ha nacido la MINERA, madurando en las entrañas de la Serra Cavallera, en el interior de la Mina Juncadella. Las minas de Ogassa vivieron su esplendor en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y fueron el impulso necesario para la construcción de la línea de ferrocarril entre Barcelona y Sant Joan. Con nostalgia de este pasado damos forma a la MINERA vestida a imagen de la compañía ‘El Veterano’ que participó activamente en el proyecto del ferrocarril a mediados del siglo XIX.Prác



its facilities consist of a bakery with a monthly capacity of about 4,000 liters (SlowBeer 250 and 3 fermenters of 500 liters each) and an air-conditioned room for fermentation in bottle for several weeks. In the case of special batches, sporadically the fermentation in bottle is still carried out inside the Juncadella Mine. In these cases the production benefits from the slow maturation in the optimal conditions offered by the mine (stable temperature all year round between 11ºC and 12ºC and absolute darkness) to offer you a great taste experience
