The Food & Drink
With concentration of flavour and 6.5% alcohol, Estrella Galicia 1906 Reserva Especial has plenty of character. It is the selection of roasted malts and hops including 'Hallertau Perle' and 'Nugget' that accounts for the beer's dark amber colour and distinct flavour. The beer produces a brilliant full head that is creamy and long lasting. When the original brewery was built in the northern Spanish province of Galicia it was dedicated to the manufacture of beer and ice. It really took off in the 1920s after Ramon Rivera, son of the founder, studied in Hamburg and became one of the first Spaniards to obtain a brewing diploma. Estrella Galicia celebrated its centenary in the presence of King Don Juan Carlos. Enjoy this beer at around at 5°C.
