CERVEZA MILANA

CERVECEROS ARTESANOS DE CASTILLA Y LEÓN, S.L.

1. THE FACTORY:

Back in 2010, in the middle of a disco night, the idea of ??dedicating ourselves professionally to our passion was born: beer. Why not? No sooner said than done. That madness of leaving everything behind and getting down to business began to take shape when Ismael Gómez de Pablo (1974. Faculty of Economics and Business Sciences of Valladolid. Graduated in Economics/Business/Commercial Management) left a settled life in Madrid (Managing Director FEGIME ESPAÑA) to devote himself entirely to the Project. A few months later, his brother, Marcos Gómez de Pablo (1978. Diploma in Labor Relations from the EU of Labor Relations in Valladolid and Superior Technician in Prevention of RRLL in the Ilmo. College of Social Graduates of Valladolid) followed the same steps, leaving his position as Head of Administration at Construcciones y Obras Llorente, SA to join Milana. Once the feasibility of the Project had been studied, they presented the idea to family and friends, who allocated their savings to a project they believed in (we obtained most of the necessary financing through the “three Fs” method: Family, Friends and Fools, or what is the same and translated into Spanish: Family, friends and "insane" which always brings great responsibility in this type of initiative), and which materialized with the Constitution of the Company CERVECEROS ARTESANOS DE CASTILLA Y LEÓN , SL in 2011 and with the inauguration of the factory in 2012. It was in the work of the illustrious countryman Miguel Delibes, passionate about the rural world, that we found the inspiration to name our beers MILANA. Who does not remember the character of Azarias (The Holy Innocents 1981), whose only concern is raising a small jackdaw, his Milana Bonita?

As we understand craft beer, as far as the raw materials used are concerned, our beers are made exclusively with 100% natural products and do not contain, nor will they contain in any case, stabilizers, preservatives, flavorings, flavor enhancers... The production process is totally traditional and MILANA beers are not subjected to filtering or pasteurization, so that when we drink them their aroma and flavor will be presented to us with greater intensity. This product is recognized by the Tierra de Sabor and Alimentos de Valladolid quality brands. We remain actively linked to the world of art, sports and Valladolid culture, as shown by the brand's commitment to acquire a painting by a local artist each year, and launch a line of t-shirts with the work, and thus promote visibility and help the development of the local culture; the sponsorship of CPLV Hockey; collaboration with the Valladolid HOMO Film Festival; sponsorships of San Silvestre Pinar de Jalón, Desafío Empedrada de Portillo, etc., etc., etc. We entered the market with three varieties: Milana Bonita, Milana Tostada and Milana Trigo. Currently, there are almost twenty proprietary recipes on the market. In addition, Cerveceros Artesanos de CyL, S.L. has produced in its facilities the portfolio of well-known nomadic brands such as Mustache (Madrid), Castreña (León), AttikBrewing (Málaga), Mal Nombre (Málaga), Sir Veza (Madrid), La Caravana (Málaga)…. And personalized beers for the hospitality industry: La Brasería de Cuéllar / Granalu, Kykox, Hotel AC Santa Ana, Eddy Beer… In these almost 10 years of activity we have multiplied by 8 the initial production capacity of the factory and turnover. We currently export our beers to countries such as China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and France. From the year 2020 we are facing an important technological change that will put us at the same level as the leading breweries at a national level, in terms of technology.

THE MILANA COLLECTION

We try to make the beers of the Base Range always available for your business. They are more classic beers if possible: pale ales, witbier, amber ales, stouts. Mainly in bottle format. Within our Base Range, Milana Yirga, Milana Tarrazú and Milana Tostada have recently been awarded at the CATHAY HONG KONG INTERNATIONAL WINE & SPIRITS COMPETITION 2021.

2. EL MILANITO FESTIVAL:

The same year that the factory was inaugurated, we organized the First Edition of our El Milanito craft beer fair. Our idea is to create the necessary environment for the enjoyment of the whole family, including, apart from the best craft beer on the national and international scene, good music and activities for the little ones. In this way, El Milanito has become a benchmark at the national level, bringing together in recent editions, in La Hontana, more than 15,000 people throughout the weekend (in a town of 900 inhabitants!!) and having past bands of the level of Celtas Cortos, Sherpa (Varón Rojo), La Frontera, Arizona Baby, New Day (Amparo Llanos, Dover), Marinah (Ojos de Brujo)… It has gotten out of hand!!!!!!
