about Estrella Damm -- The Mediterranean Beer

Estrella Damm, brewed in Barcelona with Mediterranean ingredients.

Estrella Damm is brewed using the original 1876 recipe, with 100% natural ingredients: barley, hops and rice from the Ebro Delta to give the beer a refreshing palate. To ensure the quality of our ingredients, we work closely with the local farmers, who grow the barley, and we have our own malt house. We also use our unique yeast, that we have been using for 140 years, and a lot of patience, as it takes a minimum of three weeks to complete the fermentation and conditioning process.

In our relentless search for quality we have further darkened our brown bottle to provide 30% more protection against harmful light than the standard brown bottles, to ensure that you can enjoy the true Mediterranean taste of Estrella Damm.
