I just want to clarify the history here.  The Reconquista was completed =
in 1492 by Isabella and Ferdinand.  Carlos V was the son of Juana la =
Loca and thus the grandson of Isabella and Ferdinand.  So the =
introduction of beer by Carlos V was a couple of generations after the =
end of the Reconquista.  Another poster has already pointed out that =
Carlos was not raised in Spain and so brought the tastes/customs of the =
other parts of the Holy Roman Empire.  I think some Spaniards would be =
disturbed to see this discussion be cast into an Al-Andalus vs. Castilla =
debate.   Spain is more than Castilla and Andalucia.  What about =
Cataluna, the Basque country and Galicia?  (Mmm, I still remember those =
lovely Rioja red wines and the to-die-for Galician seafood soup!)

                                                                         =
