2. Data sheet
Estrella Galicia Especial
Born in 1972 as “Especial Rivera”, Estrella Galicia Cerveza Especial is our premium beer that would soon become our breweries flagship brand. Representing years of dedication to our craft and culture by our world renowned brewmasters, Estrella Galicia is lagered for up to one month in our state of the art facility to ensure quality and consistency.
Elaboration
It is made from a specific wort in the only production facility of Hijos de Rivera, in A Coruña. The brewmasters take approximately one month’s work in elaborating Estrella Galicia Especial (50 cl can), and half of that time is dedicated to its cold storage.
