The tour goes round the Fàbrica Moritz on Ronda de Sant Antoni, the building where the brand says it began brewing more than 160 years ago, and goes down to the basement, where the microbrewery produces every day the unpasteurised beer served upstairs. Then, with one of the house's brewers, you taste six varieties made right there. It lasts two hours and you take away a small souvenir gift.

Sessions in Spanish and in Catalan

The tour, which Moritz calls Master Tast, runs from Thursday to Sunday and each session has its language. In Spanish: Thursdays at 18:00 and Saturdays at 17:00. In Catalan: Fridays at 18:00, Saturdays at 12:00 and 20:00, and Sundays at 12:00. It costs €24 and is only for over-18s; minors are not admitted, even accompanied. When you buy on the website you see which days have places.
