Passion is our secret ingredient

In 2012 two friends decided to bring craft beer to Marbella.

2012-2013

La Catarina is born in Marbella

Originally as a craft beer distributor and alternative music venue, our journey began. Monique, Skander and Pedro come up with the idea of giving Marbella and its surroundings its first Craft Beer.

2014

Ignacio and Alessio join the team

In February Ignacio joins the company as a partner after being close to La Catarina from early days and shortly after Alessio joins as our masterbrewer and we start to brew our first craft beer, Golden Mile. Before long we start to install taps in local restaurants and bars.

2015-2016

We take first, second and third prize

at the Gorilla Craft Beer Festival. Our venue is awarded as the best music venue in the Costa del Sol.

2017

Ranked the best brewery in Andalucia

whilst receiving a gold and bronze for our beers Muelle de Hierro and Tarifa respectively. Winning a gold medal in the most prestigious award in Spain and one of the most notable in Europe, The Barcelona Beer Challenge. We open up our venue to brilliant artists like the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Fred Westley, Martha High and Carvin Jones.

2018-2019

La Catarina moves

from original location to new facility to start expansion of brewery.
We open Cat’s Kitchen, which more then doubles our revenue, while growing our community base.

La Catarina has grown from a humble industrial garage to a 12,000 liter capacity brewery with major corporate clients and over 40 local restaurants serving our beer.
2019 has been a big year for us! We moved to a larger brewing facility and opened our first Restaurant!
