Over 140 years ago,
the young brewer
August Kuentzmann Damm
emigrated from Alsace with his wife
Melanie, fleeing the Franco-Prussian War.
The journey took them to the
Mediterranean coast, where they settled
to fulfil their dream:
to brew beer.
In 1876
they opened their own brewery
and created a beer that was adapted
to suit the Mediterranean climate.
Lighter than central European beers
that were designed for colder climates,
we know it as
Mediterranean
lager.
Since then, Estrella Damm
has been brewed following
the original
1876 recipe,
using only barley malt,
rice, and hops.
100% natural ingredients,
with no additives or preservatives.
The quality of these ingredients is our first priority, and that is why we work directly with
local Mediterranean
farmers.
Once selected, the barley arrives at the malthouse, where first it germinates and is then dried and toated. Unlike many beers, we have
our own malthouse,
which allows us to monitor the entire process first hand.
Our yeast is another ingredient that
makes us unique, and we have been
using the same strain for many
generations. If it were lost or
damaged then the taste of Estrella
beer would change, and that is why we have
three reserves
of this yeast
using only barley malt,
rice, and hops.
100% natural ingredients,
stored under the highest security:
in Barcelona, Valencia and London.
Once it is done, we use
the latest technology in the bottling process
in order to combat the great enemies of a beer’s taste: oxidation and microbiological contamination.
Good things require patience, as do the fermentation and ageing of beer. We keep our beer for
one week in
fermentation tanks
and two in ageing tanks.
This is how we guarantee a perfect result.
El color ámbar
de nuestra botella protege a la cerveza de la luz, impidiendo que afecte a su sabor.
