A Toast to Madrid: The Mahou Beer-Paired Dining Experience at Malvar
Every Thursday at 8:00 p.m., the beer-paired dinners with Mahou become Madrid’s must-try plan of the week. At Malvar, in the Hospes Puerta de Alcalá Hotel, a gastronomic experience awaits you—one designed to celebrate the city’s most authentic essence: dishes born from tradition, paired with some of the most iconic beer references, all served in the incomparable setting of our terrace.
Each week, the chef creates a menu that blends technique, flavor, and culinary memory, where every step of the journey is accompanied by a specially selected pairing. From the very first bite, the experience begins with the balanced freshness of Mahou 5 Estrellas, paired with a quail salad featuring cider-pickled pears and walnuts—an opening that prepares the palate for what’s to come.
The aromatic intensity continues with the brewery’s most vibrant expression, Mahou 5 Estrellas Session IPA, perfect for enhancing the notes of tamarillo and the textures that evoke traditional, roots-driven cooking. The sensory journey advances with the mature personality of Mahou Reserva, which elevates the delicacy of smoked sardine over an almond, coconut, and lime cream.
The heart of the menu arrives with beef cheek braised in Maestra Especial beer—a slow-cooked dish with deep flavor that finds its ideal companion in the subtle, wood-tinged intensity of Mahou Maestra Barrica Original. And to finish, an unforgettable sweet finale: creamy dark-chocolate sponge cake with black-beer ice cream and hints of coffee, paired with the toasted elegance of Mahou Maestra Dunkel, turning dessert into pure harmony.
For €49 per person (VAT included), this “Essence & Pairing” experience invites you to discover the perfect union between gastronomy, Madrid’s culture, and the beer character that defines the city.
Book your table and let yourself be seduced by a unique proposal that transforms Terraza Malvar every Thursday into a sensory journey filled with flavor, tradition, and style. We look forward to raising a glass to Madrid with every bite!
