The Craft of Estrella Damm Brewery El Prat

The history of Estrella Damm

The history of Estrella Damm Brewery began over 140 years ago when August Kuentzmann Damm, a young brewer from Alsace, fled the Franco-Prussian War with his wife Melanie. Settling in Barcelona, they pursued their dream of brewing beer adapted to the Mediterranean climate. In 1876, they opened their brewery, crafting a lighter, refreshing lager suited to the region's warmth. Since then, Estrella Damm has upheld its original 1876 recipe, using only barley malt, rice, and hops, with no additives or preservatives. Rooted in German brewing traditions, Estrella Damm remains a symbol of quality and craftsmanship, embodying the essence of Mediterranean brewing.
