Gerard Pique is no stranger to winning honours and awards thanks to his glittering career with Barcelona and Spain, but his decoration has a unique flavour—he had a beer named after him.


The Barcelona Beer Company has created a new beverage in his honour, dubbed "Piquenbauer," an amalgamation of Pique and Germany legend Franz Beckenbauer, to reflect the combination of German and Catalan ingredients.

Oriol Cenart, who helped create the beer, said: "We recognise him, we are fans of Pique, and this is how we pay tribute. It's a ginger wheat beer made with the best malts and wheat from Germany and the best water from Catalunya."
