Draft Beer Small (Caña) at Taperia La Mina — The Quintessential Spanish Beer Experience
Our Draft Beer Small (Caña) is the most popular beer order in all of Spain, and at Taperia La Mina, we serve it exactly as it should be. A caña is a small draft beer — typically around 200ml — served in its characteristic tall, narrow glass that concentrates the aromas and maintains the perfect temperature. You can order it with or without lemon (con limón o sin limón), and we pour it fresh from the tap every time to ensure that beautiful creamy head and crisp, refreshing taste.
Why the Caña is Spain’s Favorite Beer
The caña is to Spain what the pint is to England — the default, essential beer order. Its smaller size means your beer stays cold from first sip to last, and it encourages the Spanish tradition of ordering multiple rounds over the course of a long, leisurely tapas session. At Taperia La Mina, our draft beer is always fresh, always cold, and always served with that perfect white foam crown that indicates a proper pour.
The Ritual of the Perfect Pour
There is an art to pouring the perfect caña. The glass is held at an angle, and the beer is poured slowly to create a smooth, creamy head. When the foam settles, a second, shorter pour tops it off with a layer of white foam about one to two centimeters thick. This foam is not just decorative — it locks in the beer’s aromas and carbonation, delivering that first perfect sip. Our bartenders at Taperia La Mina pour every caña with this same care and attention.
Pairing Your Caña with Tapas
A cold caña is the ultimate partner for our tapas and toasts. Try it alongside Patatas Bravas, Jamón Ibérico, or one of our delicious toasts. Discover Spanish beer culture at Taperia La Mina.
