As well as ratafia, the heading of homemade spirits includes different styles of beer, gins, liqueurs, juices and vermouths, although these drinks were evaluated by sommeliers as part of the wine tasting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Liqueurs, ratafias and brandies are destined to showcase our landscape and culture. Local products stand out, using local raw materials, some of which are inspired by the PGI Poma de Girona apples: ciders, brandies or apple juices from the different cultivated varieties.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Local drinks also show the expansion of craft beer.

The Nut Empord\u00e0 apple gin is part of their range of infusions, macerations and mixtures of Nut London dry gin, which they make from 96.3% rectified grain alcohol, osmosis-purified water and 13 botanical ingredients. Once the gin has been distilled and the alcohol content has been adjusted, they add a natural concentrate of Girona apples prepared at a low temperature, using Granny Smith and Golden fruit grown in the Empord\u00e0 region. This gives the gin a bright and elegant golden tone, and the dry aroma takes on a point of sweetness and acidity typical of the two apple varieties.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Company: Arbenig 2012, SL<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ginnut.com\/es\/\">www.arbenig.com<\/a><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;100&#8243;][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;25267&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; qode_hover_animation=&#8221;zoom_in&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Lemon liqueur<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;small&#8221; position=&#8221;left&#8221; color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; thickness=&#8221;1&#8243; up=&#8221;10&#8243; down=&#8221;10&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Joan Isaac Castell\u00f3 Batalla succeeds in conveying the perfume of the lemon tree with this 16\u00ba proof liqueur, a low alcohol content like that of a fortified wine.

It has been seasoned with toasted sliced coconut, cocoa bean nibs and vanilla. It is dense and sweet, and its flavour highlights the aromas of coffee and chocolate, and notes of liquorice and coconut, which makes it ideal to go with desserts. DosKiwis likes to pair it with chocolate or vanilla ice cream.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Company: Doskiwis Brewing, SL<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doskiwisbrewing.com\">www.doskiwisbrewing.com<\/a><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;100&#8243;][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;25291&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; qode_hover_animation=&#8221;zoom_in&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Sometimes Always &#8211; Hazy IPA<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;small&#8221; position=&#8221;left&#8221; color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; thickness=&#8221;1&#8243; up=&#8221;10&#8243; down=&#8221;10&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Cloudy, full-bodied, with aromas of tropical fruit, the Mediterranean touch of pine resin, and a subtly bitter finish, Sometimes Always is an Indian Pale Ale (IPA) that is refreshing, pleasant and summery, and should be served very, very cold. DosKiwis, who opened their new facility in January 2019, produce 40,000 litres of bottled beer a year with an emphasis on the environment and sustainability. For this reason, they point out that the bagasse (residue from malt maceration) is eaten by the pigs at Llavora, an organic livestock farm in Ventall\u00f3, located 21 km from the brewery.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Company: Doskiwis Brewing, SL<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doskiwisbrewing.com\">www.doskiwisbrewing.com<\/a><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;100&#8243;][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;25295&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; qode_hover_animation=&#8221;zoom_in&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Mummum beer<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;small&#8221; position=&#8221;left&#8221; color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; thickness=&#8221;1&#8243; up=&#8221;10&#8243; down=&#8221;10&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_column_text]This radical beer made among the volcanoes of the Garrotxa region is the result of a symbiosis with wine. It has been made exclusively with Catalan barley and wheat malts, and fermented with the natural wine that the producers themselves have vinified from the grapes they harvest in Santa Pau. Once fermentation is finished, the beer is aged in oak barrels for between six and twelve months. The result is a light-bodied beer with a fine, non-persistent head, a fairly transparent pink colour, and aromas of wine and red fruits. They recommend pairing it with meat and fish dishes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Company: Jose Arcas Lobato<\/p>\n<p><strong><a
