    For years we've yearned for it – a little taste of Spanish sun on our own shores.

    Peter Clarke took to Twitter to say: "World rather they Cruzcampo bought over to the UK properly. THAT'S a decent Spanish beer."

    While willtrim99 tweeted: "Where can I buy Cruzcampo from in the UK?"

    Yep, we all dream of sun drenched tapas bars, restaurants and pool parties in Brits' favourite holiday destination – and now we're a little further along in recreating all that home. Well, minus the sun.

    Social media calls have finally be heeded and Spain's number one draft beer Cruzcampo is winging its way to Blighty.

    An obvious choice for locals and visitors in and beach clubs all over Spain, millions of Brits will already be well acquainted with Cruzcampo.

    Now consumers can enjoy Spain’s favourite lager all year round across the UK, albeit with less reliable British weather.

    Heineken UK's Matt Saltzstein said: “We know life in the UK can often feel a bit cold and grey, but Southern Spain provides the perfect antidote to this, with afternoons in the sun and long lunches that often stretch into dinner."

    "It's no wonder that millions of Brits choose to spend their summer holidays there every year.

    "As Spain’s number one draft lager, Cruzcampo is a key part of the authentic Spanish holiday experience."

    Cruzcampo 4.4% ABV lager will be available exclusively on draught from the beginning of April and will stand out on the bar with a sleek fount design and modern eye-catching glassware.

    A well-balanced lager with 119 years of brewing heritage, Cruzcampo offers an authentic taste of Spain at a time when demand for Spanish lagers is booming in the UK

    Matt added: "Seville, the home of Cruzcampo has become one of the most stylish places to visit for British tourists with the amount of UK visitors increasing by over 250% in 2022 compared to 2021."

    "Brits lured to the area for its vibrancy, culture and delicious Cruzcampo beer have been calling for the brand to be brought to the UK and even reached out on social media asking for it to be launched here.

    "We are delighted to meet that demand, but sadly we can’t provide the sunshine to go with it.”
