I never been to Granada, but I heard many travel anecdotes and stories on how magnificent the place looks. I am now super curious since been introduced to Alhambra Reserva 1925 over food and beer pairing at Coya London.
Found all over Spain, virtually all the national territory Alhambra Reserva 1925 is a larger hand-crafted in Granada with a 90-year heritage and named after the city’s iconic palace. The embossed bottle looks exclusive and unique.
Alhambra Reserva 1925 is an ultra premium beer handcrafted to please the
most demanding palate. I am no beer connoisseur, but I like this taste
of this drink, especially with food. This amber/gold liquid has
caramel, malt and hop flavors with a crisp finish is quite elegant. It’s
an exceptional beer for many occasions.
I have been to Coya before and it was a fabulous experience. The food is amazing, service is flawless and super attentive. And they make one of the best pisco-sour in London, if not the best. What is not to like?
Beer and Food Pairing
We started the meal with a quite generous glass of Allhambra Reserva 1925 and a selection of slightly spiced dishes: asparagus and fish ceviches and tiradito – raw fish, cut in the shape of sashimi with ginger and chilli salsa.
The beer went down very well with these dishes. Reminded me of summer by the seaside.

Not just pairing but also cooking with beer. Gambas Fritas’ batter were made with the addition of Alhambra Reserva 1925 – it makes the batter puff up and gives crunchiness

This sounds really interesting – my husband is a sommelier so I usually let him pair our evening meal with a wine 🙂
I'm not much of a beer drinker but all the food looks amazing, especially those desserts <3
