There’s beer, and then there’s Cervezas Alhambra, a brand that has spent 100 years perfecting the art of slow brewing. To celebrate its centennial anniversary, the Spanish premium beer brand is inviting beer lovers in Puerto Rico to experience Jardín Alhambra, an immersive event that blends gastronomy, beer, art, and music in a way that’s meant to be savored, not rushed.
Pirilo Pizza Rústica in Dorado sets the stage for this limited-time beer and dining experience, running Fridays and Saturdays until April 15. With exclusive beer pairings, handcrafted cocktails, and live artistic performances, this event is a must-visit for beer enthusiasts and food lovers alike.
Savor Every Sip: A Pairing Menu That Elevates Every Flavor
Jardín Alhambra is all about celebrating beer as an art form—and what better way to do that than with a carefully curated food and beer pairing menu? Designed to enhance the complexity of each variety of Cervezas Alhambra, this three-course experience takes diners on a journey through flavor, tradition, and innovation.
🍽️ First Course: Pulpo Pa’ La Gallega & Passion Shandy
Tender Galician-style octopus, infused with rich Spanish flavors, is paired with the Passion Shandy—a refreshing cocktail crafted with Alhambra Reserva Verde, Jameson, passion fruit juice, and ginger beer. The result? A perfect balance of bright citrus, smoky malt, and spice.
🍕 Second Course: La Españopala & Jardines de Granada
A Spanish-inspired pizza featuring chorizo, mozzarella, homemade Alfredo sauce, and caramelized onions, paired with Jardines de Granada—a bold cocktail that brings together Alhambra Reserva Verde, Bulldog Gin, grenadine, and fresh mint. This pairing hits every note, from savory and creamy to herbaceous and slightly sweet.
🥧 Third Course: Pecan Pie & Alhambra Roja Old Fashioned
A rich, nutty pecan pie gets a bold counterpart with the Alhambra Roja Old Fashioned—a masterfully crafted cocktail blending Alhambra Reserva Roja, Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon, maple syrup, and Angostura bitters. This is beer meets classic cocktail culture, delivering a warm, spiced, and slightly smoky finish.
Beyond the Glass: A Celebration of Art, Music, and Craftsmanship
Beer isn’t just about brewing—it’s about storytelling, culture, and craftsmanship. Jardín Alhambra embraces this philosophy with live artistic interventions and musical performances, creating an atmosphere that invites guests to disconnect from the rush of everyday life and reconnect with the sensory pleasures of beer, food, and creativity.
✔ Live Art & Music – Experience local artists and musicians bringing their craft to life during special sessions.
✔ A Space to Slow Down – Every sip, bite, and note is meant to be enjoyed at its fullest.
✔ A Philosophy of “Sin Prisa” – Cervezas Alhambra is all about living, savoring, and experiencing without haste—and this event embodies that spirit perfectly.
