What is Madri? Who is Madri? Why is Madri? We visit a local pub to sample a pint and investigate what all the fuss is about. How has this lager gone from nowhere to becoming a staple of pumps across the UK and a cultural phenomenon? How does it compare to other 'Spanish' beers and is it really Spanish in the first place?

The Madri Myth
