Damm

August Kuentzmann Damm and his cousin Joseph Damm, Alsatians who had left after the Franco-Prussian war, opened a brewery in Barcelona in 1876. Its lager was sold as Estrella Dorada until 1991, then as Estrella Damm; Damm calls it a Mediterranean lager, brewed with barley malt, rice and hops to the 1876 recipe. Voll-Damm, first brewed in 1953, is a Märzen of 7.2%, and Inedit, created in 2008 with Ferran Adrià, blends a pale lager with a wheat beer. The main brewery is at El Prat de Llobregat, and Damm also controls Estrella de Levante in Murcia and the Eagle Brewery in Bedford. Its largest shareholders are the Carceller family’s Disa and Dr. Oetker. Damm brewed 11.1 million hectolitres in Spain in 2025 and celebrates 150 years in 2026.
