140 years ago, a young August K. Damm and his wife Melanie emigrated from Alsace (France) to escape the Franco-Prussian war. Their journey took them to the Mediterranean to realize their dreams of doing what they did best: brewing beer. In 1876 they established their own brewery and they crafted a distinctive and evolved beer, suitable for warmer climates, very different to existing central European beers: the Mediterranean Lager.
To this day, Estrella Damm is brewed using the original 1876 recipe and the best Mediterranean ingredients: barley malt, rice and hops. The quality of our ingredients is of the utmost importance and, as such, we work closely with local farmers, supplying them with our carefully selected pure seed varieties. Our yeast is unique and it is stored under high security measures. Our malt is processed to the strictest standards in our own malt- house, La Moravia.
Brewed in Barcelona with Mediterranean ingredients since 1876
It takes a minimum of 3 weeks for Estrella Damm to complete the fermentation and production process. This level of care and attention has been recognized through the acclaim and numerous awards won across the globe.
Issues such as Oxidation and Microbiological Contamination, the beer worst enemy, are overcome by using the most modern packaging technology. Our brown bottle protects against ultraviolet radiation. This, combined with appropriate cold storage, ensures that the beer can be enjoyed as it was intended “Mediterráneamente”.
Estrella Damm is the leading beer in Barcelona and is the official beer of FCBarcelona.
One of our brand ambassadors is Ferran Adrià (the world's most award-winning chef) who has developed new brews such as Inedit Damm (specifically created to accompany food) in cooperation with the Damm's brewmasters.
Estrella Damm is also the sponsor of the Sonar Music Festival, the leading progressive music festival in the world.
