History
It was 140 years ago when the young August K. Damm and Melanie emigrated from their native Alsace escaping the Franco-Prussian war.
Their journey took them to the Mediterranean with the dream to dedicate themselves to what they knew best: brewing beer.
In 1876 they established their own brewery after having crafted a distinctive and evolved beer, more suitable for warmer climates and different than existing central European beers: The Mediterranean Lager Beer.
Estrella Damm is still brewed using the original 1876 recipe with Mediterranean ingredients: barley malt, rice and hops. In order to do so we work together with Mediterranean farmers supplying them with the selected pure seed varieties used to harvest the beer’s ingredients. And we malt in our own maltery: La Moravia.
Estrella Damm’s yeast is unique and stored under high security measures. It has a minimum of 3 weeks fermentation and lagering process. And ultimately, the brown bottle’s ultraviolet sun radiation protection together with an appropriate cold storage allows for enjoying a beer Mediterráneamente
