After more than 100 years of history, Corporación Hijos de Rivera is still an independent company, with 100% Spanish and family-based capital, currently being managed by the family’s fourth generation. With a wide product portfolio which includes beer, mineral water, wine, cider, sangria and liqueurs, we face the future backed by outstanding growth which has meant a doubling of turnover in the past 5 years. In the past 20 years growth has been well above the sector’s average.
But the origin of it all is beer. Since 1906 our project has developed beyond our best-known brand, Estrella Galicia, incorporating new products like the 1906 Reserva Especial or Estrella Galicia 0,0 and a range of beers that are recognized for their quality and high standard.
Today we are a consolidated, prestigious national operator with a clear international calling. Our products are present throughout Spain and in over 30 countries around the world, with a great response from consumers. Our brands have become solidly positioned in the Spanish market, and have expanded to destinations that range from Brazil to Australia, China, Russia, the Philippines, and the USA, among others.
Our company has a high level activity in the food and drink sector, not only as a brewery but also covering distribution and logistics, the complete development of catering premises, or product personalization.

In 1906, Nobel Prize winner, Santiago Ramón y Cajal, certified the excellent quality and properties of the water in Cabreiroá, leading to the establishment of a company which would become part of the group in the 1990’s. Since then, the company has revolutionized the mineral water market in its search for an avant-garde style, but ensuring meticulous care in the selection and care of the spring from where the products originate. The acquisition of Agua de Cuevas completes the company’s mineral water supply in its aim to improve services to the client via an improved and diverse product portfolio.
Commitment to innovation in all areas is the engine that fires Custom Drinks. This company produces cider, responding to the latest market trends to products and developing made- to-measure concepts to serve the needs of each individual client. This area of the company is extremely dynamic, keeping ahead of the times via an agile and flexible strategy.
Ponte da Boga, our winery, is set in the spectacular setting of Ribeira Sacra. In recent years it has carried out detailed research, recovering indigenous varieties that produce very special wines and that have received international recognition for their quality and originality. The care and dedication required by the cultivation of the roman-style terraced vines that mark the banks of the Sil River is commonly known as “heroic viticulture”.
Our variety of products, expansion and consolidation in new markets, and our very marked sense of service to the client, call for a continuous improvement in our activities, always aiming to exceed expectations. All of this while maintaining our company’s most outstanding characteristic: quality and a firm commitment to innovation, key elements for the future.
