Gruppo Damm

Gruppo Damm is one of Spain's top beverage industry companies. In 1876 August Kuentzmann Damm arrived in Barcelona from Alsace and founded Cervecera Damm, Spain's oldest Brewery. It merged with two other Spanish breweries in 1910 to become S.A. Damm, and in 1992 opened Spain's most advanced brewery, El Prat, in Barcelona. In 2001 the company acquired four new beer brands, two water brands and a new logistics company, and became the Damm Group. Now, for every five beers sold in Spain one is from Damm. Damm is the partner of Anheuser Busch for the marketing and distribution of Budweiser in Spain, and brews Budweiser for Spain, as well as for some other European Countries and the Middle East.

Estrella Damm is a pale lager with 4.6% alc./vol. Refreshing, smooth and crisp, it has a strong, but not bitter taste, and is recognized as one of the top-quality beers in Spain. As the "beer of Barcelona", it is the only beer brewed in the city, and for every 10 beers sold in Barcelona, eight are Estrella Damm. The packaging, with its eye-catching and dynamic crimson background and gold "estrella" (star), stresses its Barcelona origin, and transmits the quality of a premium lager. Awards include the 2004 Gold medal at World Beer Championship, Chicago, and the 1998 Gold medal at The World Beer Championship, Australia. Estrella Damm is also available in a gluten-free version: Estrella DAMM Celiac.
